Hello everyone, 

Just bought a 94 GTST today. R33's have been my dream car since I was 11-12 years old. Just drove it 10 hours from Richmond VA to Macon GA after picking it up at Japanese Classics.

Nice ride mate. Congratulations on the purchase I’m sure she will give many years of joy. What mods does it have and what are your plans?

Thanks! 117,xxxkm's on her.

I know it has a stupidly aggressive clutch (hope I can fix this easily, I've stalled it 30+ times today) by OS Giken, Cusco diff, HKS Dragger muffler, HKS intake. Not sure yet what else has been done. Haven't had a ton of time to look over it. Been driving it all day haha.

How did she behave on the big drive?

Looks really nice and relatively low milage.

Touchy clutches were a bit of a trend with these, you'll get used to it.

And, welcome!

She did fine, not a single issue. I thought I was going to have a panic attack the entire trip though haha. Never experienced a clutch this touchy. There were a couple times I had to say screw this and dump it at the light. It's amazing having one here in the states though. We counted 15 different people taking videos of it and people kept asking about it at lights.

That's awesome, congrats!

Driving on the right is way easier than I expected. That's what I was most worried about. Turns out it was the easiest thing to adjust to, once I get used to the clutch or figure out how to adjust it I'll be much more relaxed. Right now every stop light is a mini panic attack lol. It kinda just feels like who ever had it probably just dumped it at every light and spent the whole day sideways.

Funny you say that, I'm always worried about if I ever need to sit on the left. Will my hand know how to find the gears?! Haha

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
