Hey I just bought a r33 gtr 97 100xxxks from the auctions and very happy with it

Upgradding from a 33 gtst couldn't believe how much better it handles :touch:

But one problem at low revs there's some vibration ( between 800-1500 rpm)

Was thinking a engine mount or somthing?

It's not a bad vibration I can feel it on the peddles and steering wheel, takingit to the

Workshopthis week for a service just wanna know before I take the car in

And also what's thebest grade oil for it

Cheers :D

Not much can be said about your vibration mate, you will need to get the car looked at to identify what could be causing it. Based off the info youve given it could be anything.

As for oil, follow manufacturer spec of make your own decision. Generally a 10w40 would be fine, I like to use a thicker oil such as a 20w50. Quality should be your focus, dont skimp out on it.

If you owned a skyline previously you can continue to use the same oils you were using previously (Theres no special requirement for an RB26 over an RB25).

Also, the handling difference between your GTST and your GTR would be based on condition and mods :D Essentially they are the same car, just the GTR is alot heavier. Sorry to break your heart :rant: lol.

Haha ohh k its a vribtation coming into the cabin between 800 and 1500rpm

When I put the clutch in and take off from the lights its not that noticeable but if I'm at stand still and rev it slightly to 1300rpm this vibration comes into the cabin I can feel it through my door trim steering wheel and the accelerator

Hope that's more info

Talked to the local mechanic and he recons it's probly the engine mount

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
