okay i have a few questions here.

Ive been searching for a R33 Gtst for about a month now, i have 15g to spend, ive been looking on tradingpost.com.au, and carsales.com.au, and in the paper alot, is there any other sites i could visit where i might have a few more options.

Also what do you guys think of a GTS4 4WD turbo, 1993 manual for $13700, and how the 4WD scrub up to the rear wheels.

gts4 are the closest youll get to a gtr handeling wise without getting a gtr, the extra weight will make them a little slower than the rwd's but a few mods and thats fixed nicely. sounds like a good price for a 93 model but be sure to get it fully checked out cos it does sound a bit cheap and there could be something majorly wrong with it.

Depends how you're going to drive. If you are going to drift (hopefully off the streets) then go the gts-t as they go sideways easily

If you're after something thats going to have more solid steering go the gts-4.

The rb20 is phenominally powerful, and the performance between it and a gts-t (r33) is minimal.

As goon said, if you just "chuck" on a turbo on the r33 gts-4 its going to cost you alot (along with what he said). The clutch will go straightaway and the computer management system will need to be re-configured in order for the turbo to work efficiently.

Also what do you guys think of a GTS4 4WD turbo, 1993 manual for $13700, and how the 4WD scrub up to the rear wheels

Thats a bit ambiguous, how many K's has it done? are there any modifications [perhaps to the boost,etc etc?]

Look at the car in person, its much safer mate.

Hope you make a choice you're happy with

Seeing as you've only got 15 grand to play with, it will be hard to find a nice mint condition r33, i got my r32 for 14 and i've seen some r32s go up to 20grand...

i didnt know the r33 came out in gts4....take a closer inspection if you look at the car cause i think the dealer is talking gibberish.

if you want traction settle for the gts4 model, if you want fun go the rear will drive and im sure everyone in here can vouch that it is fun! off the streets ofcourse...

Zoom magazine did a back to back comparison of the r32 and r33 gts4 6 months ago, both are turbo charged from factory. R33 gts4 came in both n/a and turbo charged, the turbo model is rare compared to the n/a model.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
