Thanks leewah, i also remove the front propeller shaft. From Gojira's post he implies that a non vspec can be "switched" to 2wd. Removing the front shaft would be the same excercise whether vspec or not.

Hey Ben ,

you can make non-vspec R33 GT-R's rear wheel drive by removing the 3rd row 2 down fuse down from the rear fuse box in the boot.

I have done this myself... and also about all R33 GT-R's with Brembo brake calipers ( R33 GT-R ) i have seen one white R33 GT-R with brakes that just say Nissan on them.

hope this helps.

thanks

Ben i hope this gives you an idea :cheers:http://www.zele-international.com/bcnr33/33_090.html

IF i had $40,000aud id get a 10 second R32 GT-R from japan.

whats the point? someone with more money will have a faster car... if you buy a newer car you get a car thats looks newer and feels newer and handles newer and smells newer and has all those new features.

thruth is i would rather a more stock newer gtr that i can throw a few simple mods at ... like boost controler ..fmic... exhuast.. mags etc

I suggest if you want to find the best BCNR33 you can... look here

*HINT: click on the yellow boxes*

Personally I would get a non-V-Spec I think stock it is a better road car for Australia with the extra ground clearance.

They are immaculate. How do you buy these if you cant speak japanese? :(

The main difference between a v-spec and a non v-spec is the ATTESA systems used. The v-spec uses an ATTESA pro system which has a higher rate (about 10 times as fast) of checking the wheels for slippage and thus transferring power to the front. It also has a active differential for left to right power transfer. From most articles I have come across (and from driving the two myself), not many people can actually tell the difference in driving the two. The v-spec was (is) considered the top of the range, however the the physical driving differences are minimal.

I thought the term "ATTESA Pro" was given to the R33 GTRs 4wd system which was the improvement from the R32 ATTESA system?

and correct me if I'm wrong I think the R33 VSPECS came with an Active-LSD system....

Vspec has a small lip under the rear wing, and also has BREMBO calipers not nissan other than that.......^^^what they said^^^

As EVLR33 said earlier,you're spot on 'bout the extra rear "lip" & brakes...except you're thinking of the R32 GTR,not the R33... Don't wanna be a nerd,but us R32 owners can get touchy 'bout the whole V Spec thang(got a V Spec II,myself...)

yes there is a big differnce in the R32 from the Vspec and standard.

but from the vspec r33 to standard r33........ there isnt much that you can feel.

R32 Vspec and standard r33 gt-r have the same ATESSA

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
