Heya all,

went down and physically inspected this R33 GTR beastie:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer...id=12544F7AB6BF

looked very clean and original and less than 55K.Kms!

Zero mods that I could tell from a looksee.

Straight body and no rust that I could tell other than from getting it up on a hoist.

Interior was "likebrandnew".

Unfortunately Jap Cars wouldn't let me drive it unless I put down a deposit to buy it (bit sad because if I liked it I would have bought it on the spot)

What do you guys think?

Worth the 25K pricetag?

Looks nice in the photos. I don't understand why people don't let you test drive cars unless you put down a deposit. It will definitely put me off from buying the car. It's such a important part of the inspection.

I know it's hard to make a dicision without driving the car, as said above. There are way too many

punks out there who just want to go for a drive. I bought my R32 GTR from Japcar last year and

I gave him $500 deposit and then the car did all the talking.

Clean car there if you like it, give him deposit after test drive if you are not impress then I'm sure that

Dennis will refund you your money back.

By the way when you buy a car from him he will look after you even after the sale unlike others.

It also looks like the rear muffler has been replaced at some point which shouldnt be the case for a standard gtr with 55Klm's on the clock.

Definately drive it before making a decision and dont hand over any money.

That muffler is the original. Had same one on my GTR.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      By deuceforty2 · Posted

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
