In the golden age of now, it is more than obvious that the BCNR33 is the ultimate race-bred chassis out of the lineage.

Whilst the BNR34 commands a higher price, the reality is upon its debut in Super Taikyu racing it quickly fell behind and was then replaced by the faster older BCNR33 chassis'.

The design & wheelbase of the BCNR33 relates to it's superlative & brutal performance. This reality meant Nissan focused on 'improving control at the limit' for the BNR34, to help the everyday driver which essentially made it a slower car and why a new Nurburgring lap time was never set.

Not only did the BCNR33 make history at the Nurburgring, it terrorised Le Mans knocking coming in 5th in Class & 10th overall. We all know how restricted the R33 was in both of these events, so the fact it left 911's, NSX's, F40's and Mclaren F1's behind is simply amazing.

As we all know, by now most BCNR33's have fell victim to accident damage &/or structural rust particularly in Japan & the UK. Just about every example I looked at in Japan in Grade 4 condition had structural rust through seams and on the underbody. For a long time they were swept under the rug and unappreciated, so this is no suprise.

Thus it's important that for those of us with an immaculate example - to come here to the thread, drink a coffee, post pictures & discuss just how great the BCNR33 really is.

If we ever decide to sell (which is highly unlikely due to our sentimental attachment to a 'rare breed') anyone from overseas looking will be able to find us.

I suggest if you wanna be part of this preservation society you are trying to start up you best stop bashing keyboard keys and take to that car of yours with a grinder, a welder, a power wire brush and some rust converter in order to preserve your R33. 

Best get some more CURRENT pics up in your build thread also to show the world of this "pristine GTR" in its current state that you own. Not the underside pics of it when it was being built 20 years ago like you posted.

Oh, controversy.

Anyway, on topic: I've always liked the R32 GTR, it is the "real" Godzilla after all......

But I digress.

The Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R utterly dominated the Super Taikyu N1 Racing Series (Group N Super Endurance) from 1999 until its final season in 2003, winning 5 consecutive times.

The championship winners were:
1999 - #32 Prince Chiba Falken
2000 - #50 5ZIGEN Falken
2001 - #1 Falken
2002 - #3 Endless Advan
2003 - #1 Endless

This thread is all over the place. Lol.

I believe that there are others all over the world restoring R33s to factory condition. I know of three that have undergone complete restoration, including the removal and patching of rust areas.
At least two of them were stripped to shells, repaired and then treated prior to painting.
There's currently a 400R (in the UK i think) being restored down to the origianl clips for the hoses and wiring harnesses.

What is needed is a National Park where handlers can catch and release GTR R33's.….to let them roam free.  Somewhere in Central Australia maybe - or should it be a marine sanctuary? We could get the Greens and Greenpeace to use their powers of persuasion to help promote this idea in parliament.

Maybe you should set up a charity and a GoFundMe page as a starter?

 

I don't understand why people who don't own an R33 GT-R are trying to get in on the preservation society, this isn't an amusement park ?!!!! Only R33 GT-R owners are welcome, so now non R33 GT-R owners are banned from the thread ?

  • Haha 1

The one good thing about r33 is typically the owners

while r32 owners are wankers and 34 owners are massive wankers, the r33 gtr owner is only a want to be wanker ( once peopel start restoring them to factory specification) I will sell cause that’s a sign of the lever of total wanker owners

@fatz I don't understand. I quite like Hawkins, but his "they should all be modified cause i say so shit grates on my nerves"

Why can't i aspire to a stock 400R or straight R33 GTR? Is it a requirement of adulthood that I only aspire to a Porsche or Ferrari?

Do whatever you want my tip is to never listen to me I only dribble shit
Ha! I have said this exact comment to people before! I once called out a 33 with a 34 GTR front end. Called it an abomination, a guy sends me a PM of his car with a 34 front end, 33 back end. (I feel bad for a few minutes).
On a serious note though the R33 GTR LM was my dream car. Money no object is a 400R. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this opinion (or am I?).

The thing that would really round this thread out nicely would be a post advertising an R33 GT-R only meet in a public place e.g. Woolies carpark - no spectators of course

That kind of weird camp shit is reserved for r34 wankers

Jesus christ Benny, this is getting out of hand. Please put down the pipe. 

A few of us are aware of the real condition of your car, so please stop making out like the photos you posted are current and accurate. It's fine to love your car, warts and all, but this banging on about 33s being the best thing ever has got to stop. 

I've owned a 33 and a 34, guess what they both suck for various reasons and are awesome for others. Each model is good and bad for various reasons, no different than any other series of cars in history.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
