I am in the same situation as you and am tossing up what to go for as i have previosly owned a 95 GTS-t and went to a WRX and have to get back into a Nissan.

They feel a lot better to me and sound so damn good!

They only problem is that all the cars i am interested in are in Sydney or Melbourne. Oh well.

If i was to get a R33 it would have to be a series 2 and in immaculate condition.

Any way have fun

for 32K i can help you to get an R33 GTR and also insurance for s15 and R33GTR does not make much different, i think the max of difference is 1K but the again is all up to you. but if you are getting R33 GTS i would you better get the S15,,, much better and faster also handle better too.

I can't believe you guys I had to check the top of the page because I thought I have accidently clicked on a S15 site.

I can tell you now that for that price range you could get an mint condition S2 R33 and none of you can convince me that a car like that has less road presence than a S15.

Whether you like it or not the Skyline has become the cult car of this generation.

I just got back from a holiday in Lorne and even little kids knew what car I was driving.

I cant imagine them saying "look mummy, there is an S15 200sx/Silvia)

Shame on all of you that suggested an S15

I'm with quickr33melb, nothing wrong with an S15, but a Skyline has a bigger presence. Dunno what's going on about "33's are common". I can count the number of times I've seen a skyline on my fingers (no I ain't a mutant with 50 fingers! :wassup:)

I dunno, maybe it's coz I'm out in the sticks and hardly see one around, I'm gonna have fun cruising up here amongst the holdens and fords :P

30k you'd certainly be in R34 territory. Go a 34, they look heaps better than the S15.

I'm with Villainous_J on the R33 common issue. I see an aveage of 2 per day and suddenly they're common? Less common than anything Ford, Holden, Subaru, BMW, Merc, Porsche, etc build (under $150,000 anyway).

A 32k, 33 gtr would be a lemon... i know two importers and they are honest when they tell me you cant get a decent 33 gtr for under 40k at the moment...

Dude, different states have different prices, here in Vic, there are a few 33 GTRs goin for about the mid 30s and all have been very sweet!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
