hey guys selling my s15 and looking to get into a GTR ...had enough of SR20's . I found a nice white 97 series 3 GTR .....has done 100k's needs the major service done and few little bits and peices etc which is reflected in the price. Just want to know what else is their to look out for and wanting some feedback on the r33 gtr's ???

im looking at making it a super responsive streeter . So looking at some hks gt-ss turbos full exhaust tune etc. Any owners of 33 gtr's with any input or has anyone made this transition from sr20 to rb26 and regretted it???

seems good mate. but when someone doesnt list one bad thing on a n add, prepare for disappointment.

take some one who knows gtrs. and inspect the shit out of it.

yeah i went to look at it ....it needs the 100ks major service and has a blown exhuast gasket which makes a weird sound but reved it revs fine and went for a quick spin drives ok...i opened the oil cap looked inside its a little gunky...would that be a concern????

some bits you can use to determine past life and condition has being removed.

- R34 GTR wheel

- Gear nob, etc

make sure you check out the actual condition of the car and base your decision on that.

anyone buy a GTR in australia locally without a workshop check is stupid.

yeah thanks mate well i put a small deposit on the bassis i said i will need someone to check it over etc and he was happy with that and willing to adjust price accordingly.

just the problem of finding someone who knows their stuff to do this as organising the car to a workshop etc will be a major HF .

Anyone know of anyone in Adelaide who can do the check for cash???

Before you look at it, check if Import Monster still has their white series 3 for sale - It has likely already sold, but on the off chance it has not, check it out

If the 34 wheel is to hide the condition of the original wheel then the original one must be f#$ked!!! That things rooted!

Seems like a pretty good price though. It all looks pretty neat but you'd want to check for rust in the usual places (boot, bonnet hinge area, under front guard area). Not many mods which can be a good thing and a bad thing.

Airfares are cheap, and for the sake of buying from a trusted seller I would say its worth it - Hard to find one that hasn't been screwed with so this is good value at $20k

Yeah the steering wheel came already on car when from japan which i was skeptical but then roaming the web and searching globe-auto japans the GTR specialist i seen a few 33 gtr's for sale with the 34 gtr wheel ....

Surprised no-one has mentioned State Roads. Their inspections are very thorough and they have the equipment to check paint thickness (crash damage), radiator gasses (head gasket) and so on. Pretty well priced too.

contacted aaron to see if still available......if so will get a check done and hopefully can arrange freight if price is right

Yeah I put one in mine and they look a lot better (R33 GTR steering wheels are the same as a S15 steering wheel..... :unsure: ).

I agree with the above though, the car at Import Monster looked amazingly straight and great price.

R33 GTR steering wheel is not the same as an S15 wheel, it's the same as an S14 wheel :)

I would take Aaron's 33 over the one on carsales in a heart beat - nobody replaces a 33 wheel with the most clapped out 34 wheel I've laid eyes on, unless they have a good reason, and fitting a beaten up wheel like that is not done for aesthetics, that's for certain.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
