Hey, i'm buying a 97 R33 GTR and just wondering what i should look for in terms of any problems it may have?

The one i'm looking at is running about 300kw atw with HKS GTss turbo's.

As far as i know its been running that power for about 20,000kms and before that just about 240kw.

I've heard of lots of GTR's doing the bottom end not long after getting 300kw+ out of em.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

-Mike

Hey Mike,

Theres a "What to look for when buying a skyline DIY" on here check out the link below.. I found it very helpful when I was buying mine.

Once its passed your own checks take the car to a performance workshop in your area and ask them to do a once over.. make sure they do a compression test and leak down test. Yes it will cost you a bit of $$ to get it done but it might save you buying someone elses problems...

Good luck with your search mate and welcome to the SAU community.

Cheers

Johno

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
