Hey guys so I have been doing some hunting on carsales for a skyline to buy and this R33 GTS has popped up which im very interested in.

does it belong to anybody on the forum or does anybody know of it?

It seems to be perfect for me - basically no mods except for sound, tint and body kit. she is selling it with an exhaust but also including the stock which I will install. Its also at a great price.

heres the link

if anybody else knows of a similar car at a good price I would be interested in that too.

lol :)

btw, resale value on an auto is craptacular. Very few people seem to want them... Can't imagine why... :thumbsup:

I dunno about the R33 but the R34's are tip...so they're not really an auto. If the R33's are tip as well I couldn't see how the resale would be effected much because it can be driven as a manual...it's just not a manual in the true sense...

r33s...especially 95s... Are pre tiptronic. The are as auto as it is possible to be :thumbsup:

The price is ok, could probably get it for a bit less. (Provided you convince them to supply a RWC).

Don't worry about the kms, as the majority of jap imports have been tampered with.

Assess the condition of the car and make your decision based on that.

Ahhh...in the real world, we still call that an auto. Note the presence of a torque convertor.......

yeah I was at the show n shine today. I may go and have a look at this car but after talking to people today it does look like my best option will be to save up and either get a 34 trip or anothercar more known for their reliability.

to answer the questions I do only have an auto license and am yet to drive a manual so i do need the auto or tip.

semi auto's are the only transmission id use now its got the best of both worlds; even if it was was about power automatics actually can have better take off(fastest drag cars use automatics and i think their sequential) with an automatic u can preload the transmission instead of with a manual jerking the gears into place and getting wheelspin unless you drop the clutch at a lower rpm then you could in the auto.

Just about all the supercars have them now and theres a reason. its good to be able to eat, drink, do other stuff and not have to worry about changing gears sometimes. obviously i know u will lose about 5% power over all and add 10kgs+ to the car weight but if it came to it id rather the auto instead of the climate control

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
