Hi guys, I'm negative_camber, and I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm a new member. I own a 1995 model Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T and an Alfa Romeo 33. It's running the RB25 turbo and is pretty much stock. I'll post up some pictures when I get some extra time. I'm pretty happy with it, but I have a dilemma, that maybe some of you with experience can help me out. Is it really worth working on the RB25 turbo, or should I just drop in the RB26DETT from the GTR as I'm able to get my hands on one soon? :)

welcome aboard.

33 GTR's go for 20 to 25 grand these days, not worth the effort building up a 33 GTSt when you can just buy a GTR packing all the stuff from factory. I'd say do some minor mods on the GTSt to make it a fun enough car to drive, then just save up and upgrade to a GTR.

Hi funkymonkey, thanks for your opinion. But I came up with the idea of running a gtr powered gts-t because I think that it would be something a bit different to the norm. Plus I still enjoy the rear wheel drive and I'm in no situation at the moment to get a real gtr cos i'm still on the green p plates and I wanted my r33 to be a sleeper.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
