people give the R33 gtst sh&t saying it handles like a boat; I disagree. It handles great, just not in stock form. Then again, a lot of cars don't.

Some stuff I've got for sale, for an R33 but I believe most/all will fit r34 - pls check for yourself though to confirm. All available for pickup/delivery in Brisbane, or postage as listed.

R33 a-pillar braces. Handmade in my workshop so don't expect production-line welds and finish; they are neat enough, fairly light and strong as sh&t though, and if you don't notice the front end feeling a lot more solid on the road over 100kph I'll be very surprised, I found a huge difference once fitted. $100 the pair, $15 posted anywhere in Oz.

TEIN medium S-Tech springs. These drop the car by about 30mm, and are around a 4.2kg spring rate? from memory anyway, exact rates on the Tein JP website. Ok, these are as close to brand new as you can get; bought them when I thought my bc coilovers were on the way out. Bought these tein springs and put them and a set of shocks in, and found the issue was the same and nothing wrong with the bc's (product plug for bc's, good item) and so these springs came straight back out, and have sat in the garage for the last 18 months being kept for when I might need them again. BC's still going strong, so if you want a set of top-quality springs new without the new pricetag, here they are, still in original Tein box.

Link to counterfeit Tein spring id'ing, these are genuine not copies. https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/336/Tein-S.-Tech-Springs.html

here's the cheapest price I could find

so, I'll do $350 for the set of 4, and $20 posted anywhere in Oz except NT and WA.

Gizzmo IBC-R electronic boost controller, options of 6 boost presets, and rpm setting. Guaranteed in good working order with user manual, just that the wires have pulled out of the back of the plug that plugs into control unit. Either track down some square-end wiring plugs or just call Ray at gizmo and buy another plug kit, and you got yourself an electronic boost controller cheap. $100, plus $10 posted anywhere in Oz. And I do mean guaranteed working, I wouldn't sell it if it was no longer working.

a-pillar braces, recirc adapter and castwizzle-brace sold.

Also found in my garage

- 1x set of subframe aluminium lock collars, black. Look just like the million other pics of subframe collars, except one of the upper collars has a slightly ground-away section where I was trying to make it seat in better against the OEM rubber before I realised it would make no difference so gave up, so is only done to one of the pieces. $30 plus $5 postage, happy to post up a pic if anyone keen.

- R200 ABS diff off r33 gtst, 4.1 gears. Long-nose? has abs sensor at front near tailshaft. $100 pickup or deliver in Brisbane, too heavy to post.

trash or treasure, a bargain or an insult to your wallet? you decide.

All parts for R33 gtst.

Subframe collars - have 2 sets, one aluminium solid type, the other Superpro urethane (seem to be missing 1 ring, as soon as I find the other one in my garage, will sell as a full set). Marks etc as pictured, both still in good order and very serviceable (aluminium ones hardly used, superpro ones have about 3 -4 years on them) $25 a set.

20160425_113044.jpg

Superpro steering rack bushes, about the same amount of use 3-4 years, still in very good order. $20.

20160425_113040.jpg

Genuine Nissan tailshaft centre bearing. This is effectively brand new, but - fitted this bearing, only to find an issue with the tailshaft itself, so had to swap tailshafts. As this was brand new and they cost $160+ I pulled it off and in trying to do so without damaging the rubber casing, one centre flange got bent up as pictured. If you straighten this out so it doesn't rub, it will be as good as new, but, price reflects this damage. $50 neg.

20160425_111214.jpg20160425_111218.jpg

Which leads me to - 1x tailshaft flange and front section, both still in good working order, issue was with rear section. These might be handy if making a custom tailshaft...? $20 neg anyway.

20160425_114303.jpg

1x R33 actuator, $10.

20160425_111254.jpg

pickup on Brisbane northside or can post anywhere in Oz (tailshaft excepted).

  • 8 months later...

all still available as above, plus have found the missing piece for the superpro subframe bushes so now is a full set.

Also have

- stock rear strut brace for R33GTST, $40, in VGC - comes apart into smaller pieces so can post easy enough.

- set of 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE003 245/45/17 tyres. 2 are in extremely good condition, done just on 3000 k's, other 2 are still in good order but have done just over 6000 k's. According to Bridgestone these have 7.1mm tread depth new, and they still have 5.6mm and 6.33mm depth respectively, so heaps of life left in them. They don't have enough dry grip in them for my liking but they do have a lot of wet grip, and for the price, a good dry tyre too. After $160 for the really good 2, and $120 for good 2, or can do a better deal for all 4.

BNE - rb25det to suit rebuild

Rb25det bottom end out of R33 Skyline - block is in good order, crank is good but superficial scuffing to no.3 rod journal where rod spun a bearing - only shallow marking so will be fine for engine rebuild. Have the stock rods, and 4x stock pistons (have used the other 2), and sump.

Apart from oil pump which is yours if you want it, this is just the parts listed, no balancer, manifolds etc.

Had bought this to do an engine rebuild but ended up rebuilding the engine already in the car.

Not really keen on shipping, prefer local buyer in Brisbane - $150.

GK Tech tie rod ends, as new

yo...Bought a set of GK Tech spherical bearing tie rod ends, as shown here

https://www.gktech.com/high-misalignment-64-degrees-tie-rod-ends-12mm-14mm.html

As everyone is no doubt aware spherical bearings can transmit a lot more NVH, and I found I didn't personally like the feel of them in the tie rod ends for a street car, I prefer a ball joint. So, after only being on the car for 167km's (then changed to ZSS ends as per log book), we have an almost new full kit for sale. The current GK Tech kit doesn't have holes in the ends of the kingpin for a split-pin retainer so I have drilled this in, to allow the extra security of having a split-pin fitted top and bottom. As it notes in the GK Tech link, you need to cut down your stock tie rods too to fit these, so included is a set of rods already cut to the right length (note if you cut your rods, it only leaves about 8mm of thread engagement if you ever decide to go back to a stock-type balljoint). One rod is genuine Nissan, the other is Roadsafe - both 12-18 months old and easily 5+ years left in them.

Selling the tie-rod end kit and the 2x tie rods as a set, $150 posted across Oz .($160 WA and NT)

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
