hey guys

So its been about 2 months since I bought my first car which is an NA 1995 r33 gts coupe, So its about time I finally introduce myself. My name is Jonah and Im 17 from QLD. I recently got my P plates and purchased my first car which is an R33 GTS Coupe.

It looked a bit rough when I first bought it as the paint was disgusting and fading. The car is completely stock with a slow RB20E. Since owning the car I have fully repainted it the original colour and have also managed to get an RB25DET exemption for work but we will discuss that later on. Whilst it was getting painted I also had my mate who is a panel beater help me repair all of the dents in the car left from the previous owner.

The finished results are amazing as the cars exterior looks pretty much brand new. Now onto my future plans. I have recently acquired an exemption for an rb25det skyline with help from one of my mates. And because of that im in the process of purchasing the new engine to put into the car. I have my mate who is a mechanic coming up early February to help me do the swap as he has done it himself twice now on his own skyline and on another persons. One other modification I will look to be doing in the near future is an auto to Manuel swap which I will most likely do at the same time as I swap the engine. I look forward to being a member of this community and would love to hear your thoughts on the project.

 

Cheers, Jonah

Welcome!

Smart moving doing a full rb25det swap, rather than +t to the de, manual swap at the same time definitely makes sense.

Are you similarly going to be upgrading the brakes to turbo or better version as well? I assume this would be required for engineering anyway.

A lot of p platers will be interested to know more about this if you care to divulge more info.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
