Hey guys, I used to have a Silver 33, but now i got a 1998 JZX100 Tourer V which should be in Canberra in a week... I figure its a 2.5L turbo RWD, so it's close to being a 'line right? :cheers:  Its pretty much stock, but wont be for long :D

Quite interested to see said Chaser!Even if it isn't a 'Line!

aaaah, it's the notorious hidden midnight purple 33 GTR we've seen around, welcome to the board.  anything extra special about her? or is she a stocker

That must be another one... mine is black, although you need to see the 2 colours in bright light or side by side to tell the difference. Mods are just the common ones - exhaust, pods, PFC, bigger intercooler, boost. Had Apexi N1 coilovers but removed due to being too hard, so back on stock suspension for now.

Nice GTR, must cadge a ride in one some day and see what the difference is in performance etc compared to the Gts.  If the gap is huge I'll have to upgrade, cos a GTR is a GTR.

jaycetook me for a drive in his GTR when we were up at mt ainslie.

the difference is huge, they are chalk and cheese, its not just the power, but the handling and esp the brakes.

if i were to buy a GTR i'd take an R32 over an R33, but thats just me.

if you get a GTR i want your wing and boot pods!!! lol

and hey dude welcome aboard mmm a black gtr and i thought the S2's looked sexy in black hehe

That is SO biased of you! You're only saying that cause you own a black S2... lol, jokes. i think ANY Skyline looks hot in black...

pfft u suck :) sif a 32 they are becoming as common as your lancers hehe FEAR THE 33 GTR :D

Nah man... Illl go with that!

ill Pick an R32 GTR over anything ANYDAY!!!! there the sweetest looking things out, yes true the 34 GTR is HOT, but i LOVE my 32's!!

  • 3 weeks later...

Thought I'd add my Car.

Wine Red R33 GTS-T series 1, 94

18" ROH Drift R rims

Tinted windows

other then that it is pretty much stock

Planned mods are an intake and exhaust upgrade, hopefully by the end of the year. Then i'll look at a boost controller and computer, then the suspension. Then a body kit and a new paint job, a nice pearly white colour with a black carbon fibre hood. Then a turbo upgrade, FMIC, wastegate, blow off valve.

Well thats the plan anyway.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
