while looking for coolers i came across an R33 GTR and the dude that owns it says that he wants an R32 GTR and if would consider a swap, we can work it out. so what does everyone reckon? trade or not trade? i would imagine though that i have to pay a bit extra... but it shouldnt be much.

R33 mods - white, cat back exhaust, mines ecu, profec b boost cont., twin GT2530 turbos, rebuilt engine to std specs, volk 3 piece 18" racing rims. interior and exterior is clean as, except for some dust and cobwebs.

?????????????

yeah thats the prob meggala... i dont really wanna let go of my car coz its got a history and such...and apparently becoming more collectable (sorta)... and...... well im 50/50 at the moment...

thinking........ i guess the biggest drawcard for the 33 is the gt2530's.......

no they arent!! they arent a draw card... u have a pristine R32 GTR!! something that is no longer available for import under the new schemes are they??

thought 32s were no longer allowed in once the SEVS hits town... or is that just GTS/Ts?

regardless... its the original GODZILLA!!!!

lmao sif... u know the 32 GTR is faster stock for stock... so by spending a few grand on the same turbos as the 33 GTR and it will WHOOP ITS ASS!!

:)

PS. ULA if u want me to find out how much it will cost for those turbos to be sent from japan email me as im getting my FMIC sent over next week and he wanted to know if there was anything else i wanted put in at the same time.

PPS. could be some good news on the aftermarket parts front... he has built up a few contacts recently and is going to send me a list of all the parts that he can get his hands on... will keep all posted (its taken a while)

prices sounds good inark. although my current position prevents me from modding the car until about april/may.

as of now im prolly leaning more towards keeping the car as i'll eventually get the turbos that i want anyway. and i know what my cars been through and i know for sure that im gonna have to fork out and extra ~ $4000 - $5000 to do the swap. i reckon i get about the same performance for my car with that amount?!??!

newer car also sounds good though... eh......

see this is why you should vote for me and when im in parliment i will kill nark :)

when ppl offer to swap their cars i usually say that i will offer my colt for the swap, but my colt is stuck somewhere in the northern suburbs broken down and buggered :D

do what steve said and just upgrade the turbo's

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
