New Zealand R33 GTS25t '96

R33 GTS25t NZ · October 24, 2022

Heres a thread of my Series 2 R33 GTS25t

I brought this R33 GTS25t from tauranga 200km away, brought it exsactly how it looks now, with bald tyres allround, overboosting 20psi, broken window and broken sunroof, cut auto brake pedal, eletrical malfunction that has happened that didnt get told to me about (which i have found out now, cause im a mechanical whiz. which includes eletrical) didnt take any photos of the car on the night or next day i brought it cause i was and still am focused on getting it road worthy. not much to do now. Brand new rear rotors and brake pads for the rear, with new handbrake shoes, front rotors will be looked at for a skim. they are warped slightly, so depending on how much meeds taking off them will determine whether i buy new rotors for the front, (money isnt an issue). window washer bottle situation, I need two seperate universal washer bottles as theres no universal twin pump washer bottle setups only singles. and the catch can situation. Will buy 1x 1 single inlet 2L catchcan for $100, the city that i live in is perfect for performance cars, There are three plus shops that i can walk in amd buy performance off the shelf parts for my car. No waiting , Everything on the internet website is instore, so making and buying things is a breaze. And i mean everything. full rear end suspension setups, you can buy full macphersion strut lock setups incl knuckles off the self, but since GK tech is the best for twin wishbone lock setups, thats litterly the only thing i cant buy off the shelf.

The car has stock shocks and lowering springs

17x9 Rota grid replicas

Factory hicas (will be getting this replaced but getting it roadworthy is the important thing)

The engine has

Factory RB25DET (Its a S3 Engine, Neo Cas with Hydraulic Lifters)

Replaced headgasket with an OEM style one

HeadStud kit (Unsure if its ARP)

DSR stainless Hybrid Topmount Manifold

Greedy Replica Front Facing intake manifold
Journal Bearing GT3582r .63 rear housing turbo with surge protector compresser housing

2.5 IN Exhaust From turbo to Exhaust Tip

OldSchool Turbosmart 38mm wastegate (Unplumbed. very distracting)

Factory 370cc Injectors and Rail

Tomei Fuel pressure regulator

Unknowen Fuel Pump

R33 GTR Apexi Power FC ECU

Pink sticker airflow meter

Im looking at getting this tuned and have a date 9th of November 2022 to get tuned, Im going to change that date, ill have to work with the tuner for another date as its quite hard to get a booking, I dont mind waiting, Next thing is to get it tuned, I will be getting tuned at E&H Motors in Pukekohe

Its running really rich, I get 325kms to 46 Liters, and plus I have a R35 GTR card style air flow meter in a 4in housing,

I also have Apexi Camshafts that i will be installing at a later date. I do have the S2 Cas to go with these camshafts. Its polished Too. They are also VCT Dropins. I ran them in my 1st RB25DET, They sound amazing

This is the dream right here, going back to tuning to get camshafts tuned for the motor. Im litterly living my dream, Going back to the tuners to get retuned. I will end up going to get it tuned 3 times before its finished. Its all about the experiance. Getting to know the Guys Them getting to know me. Me getting to know the car, Me getting to know the car via ECU, Driving the car in stages all by myself. Ever since owning perfromance cars theres always been one person who tells me what to do with my car, Not knowing that i have my own personal brain and processes that make me me, And always had a parent whos always been about trying to sabotage me and my plans to run my lifestyle. with subtle doubts placed and his imagary experiance, due to lack of commitment in this feild, (When outdoing someone, go the full monty) iBeing out of the car industry its very hard to focus on the lifestyle you want to live, because your work isnt involved around your lifestyle outside of work (which is what you want to create). so its easy to be pushed around by others, exspecially when your not supported by others who arnt in the same dream life catagory as you, Living at home was good cause i was involved in the industry as my work but the parents subtle doubts and experiances with their pain made thinking perfectly so hard. I did end up owning my 1st c32 manual at home without me giving a f**k about what my dad said, Im a Taurus so i get manipulated alot by others (Karma will get them).

Anyway Now im Living in my own home, working in the industry and got my job in my own way, Finially got My car Without anyone Knowing about it too. I can litterly tell others to f**k off when others ask about my car cause no one help.

Perfect Here some photos of the car, The bugandy cam covers are completly diffirent covers
