Hey guys,

I am new to this forum and don't really have any experience with cars so please go easy on me!

4 years ago before I had my licence I bought my first car a 1993 R33 GTS-T. As I didn't do my homework on turbo laws in Queensland I have been unable to drive it on the road whilst I have my P's. So she has been sitting in my garage since then and has been quiet neglected! I am very busy with uni and work and therefore only get around to starting her up every 3-4 months, apart from a dead battery it usually starts up fine! In a few months I finally get my opens and will be able to drive the beast, I just wanted to know what my best options are in fixing her up to avoid any damage caused from this long period of neglect? People have told me that I will need to replace rubbers in the motor and all sorts of stuff (doesn't make sense to me). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and remember I'm new to this so go easy :)

Cheers

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
