Hey guys and girls.

I'm new here and own a 97' R33 Gts-t.

The Missus wants us to have a more family car, so what better then a Stagea!.

I know its hard to judge and tell just but the carsales add, but if i could get some opinions on this one i would much appreciate it :)

im pretty new to the Stagea world, so all the help i can get would be awesome.

Thanks, Kurt

had the 100k service = fake kms

i would say its been in an accident too, if you get it checked out professionally with warranty could be ok, still a little expensive

edit - the passenger head light looks fogged up also

could you be more specific about what u want to know??

totally agree its definately had the front end resprayed and the clock is wound back. its over priced to hell for an auto.

damn, getting turned of it now you think there fake kms and had a hit :(

fairly obvious actually. the clock says 75,000 but it still has the japanese 100,000km service sticker on the airbox. obviously to stupid to peel it off. the paint forward of the front doors looks fresher than the rest and the rad is skewed on the mounts. which is a great indicator of a front hit.

my hearts not set on yellow at all, lol...would probably prefer non yellow.

that one uis alot better but its in another state :(

give the "purchasing a stagea" thread a really good read mate. then make sure every car u look at is thoroughly checked over. and the best advice you will recieve about the stagea section is to use the search function ALOT all your questions will have been answered time and time again.

Hmm, this one is actually closer to where i live...had someone tell me once though not to go past 99' models anything later are not as good??

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
