HI guys,

Long story but ive got my hands on a GTR r33 1997 model, the car has compliance but is not regested, Im just not 100% sure if it can be yet, because it has had the brakes changed on it too smaller ones (i think GTST ones) and the headlights have been changed to GTST ones as well. also i have not had the engine checked yet but it seems to spool up funny- maybe coils but your opinions may help. The outside of the car has no dints or scratches, ive got a few options:

1: sell the car as is- would be looking at around 20,000.

2: strip it down to sell it for parts

3: or go and get the car looked at by a mechanic and spend some money getting all up to scratch.

Would do you guys think?????

i think if you tried to sell it you wouldnt get $20,000 for it since it doesnt have the gtr headlights or brakes and there might be something wrong with the engine. doesnt make much sence that someone would go to the trouble to fit worse brakes and headlights, and those gtr items arent going to be cheap either.

why would u want to buy a BCNR33 with ECR33 brakes and headlights?

Especially a series 3...those HIDs are hot property...and smaller brakes? why?

It'll cost you a bit to fix it, but it will be worth it.

Still dont understand why those items were changed, however.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
