G'day everyone. I'm Steve and new to the group. I have a neglected r33 gtst that needs some love. Can anyone tell me where i can find parts? Preferably in Adelaide? I'd prefer places i can walk in, look around and chat to people rather than online purchases. Some of the jobs my car needs done is new window rubbers front and back, some seems around the boot and engine bay re done, 2 small bits of rust cut out, power steering fluid leak fixed, and finally new paint. I'm not interested in performance at the moment, just making it shine like it used too.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.

If you're in the northern 'burbs, go see Alan at All Type Crash for the body repairs. Good bloke - somewhat specialises in imports and particularly Skylines. Although, like me, I think he'd prefer to have R32s sitting the front yard than R33s.

You can buy the window and door rubbers on line and do those yourself. I got Alan to fit and paint the new hinges to my doors, because I'm good with rubbers and other hardware, but hanging doors is not easy! He's also done a major repair and many small touch ups to my car over the years.

And, for mechanical help, perhaps go see Brenton at Fours'n'more. Well......for more serious mechanical help than the power steering fluid leak. That's probably just a hose, and you could probably do that yourself.

Cheers GTSBoy. You replaced your own front and rear window rubbers yourself? Including the glass? If so and your in Adelaide how about giving us a hand installing mine when im ready?

Do the different model r33s have different window rubbers? Any idea on part numbers? I dont want to waste $500+ on something that doesnt fit. I need to buy these before i commit to stripping everything and re painting.

 

G'day Murray_Calavera. Yeah i love my car. Its unique enough that most people probably wouldnt notice but someone else with an r33 would appreciate it.

Yup. Inner and outer rubber strips on the top of the door panel. Door/window rubbers on the door opening in the body. Door rubbers around the bottom of the door. All easy enough.

As to whether I can help you - it will depend on when you're ready. I have spent 16 of the last 20 months 2600km away from home, with no real end in sight. Maybe I'll be kicked off site by Dec31.

I wouldn't expect the rubbers to have changed between S1 and S2. Things like door openings are never changed in facelift revisions if they can avoid it. Too expensive. They just change plastic bits that make the car look different.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
