hey every1,

mah cousin recently entered the exciting world of skyline ownership & after seeing my car bought herself a nice R33, excellent condition an really low Ks. BUT I noticed that her wheels only have 4 studs/spokes. I'm confused as I have only ever seen R33s with 5 studs on the wheel, She's not really into cars so she's got no idea either (bought it coz she thinks itz sexy). I'm just wondering if this is normal or if the dealership sold my cousin a shifty skyline.

I'm also a little concerned about how the car is a 1993 but only has about 66,000kms on the meter :uhh:

Her car is a 1993 series 1 R33 coupe, N/A though

What's your opinion?

when i was looking for my r33 there were heaps with very low KM eg 52 and 60 to me they all just seemed abit sus.  if its a 93 the car has only done 5000km a year. thats less than 100 a week. She could be lucky but then again there are lots of dodgy bastereds out there

I drive around 100ks a week.

And I hope she didnt think it was a turbo that she was buying and got ripped off !

aww nah she knows what a turbo sounds like thanx to my car :wassup: but her folks didn't want her to get a turbocharged car, an her insurance is heaps cheapa den mine

As fer da really low k's the car looks really top notch. a few scratches on the side of the bumper but that's understandable. As fer performance the engine bay looks well maintained an it runs smoothly an quietly, all points that this car is on the level :(

It'll make fer a really nice daily driver

last night i made it to 360kms when the needle was below the 'E' on the fuel gauge.. was basically driving slowly up hill and letting it roll in neutral downhill :rofl:

360kms in 53L - crap. :P

i think it's getting worse now.. i drove about 50kms and it's dropped from full to halfway between full and the second line - i wasnt even driving it hard AT ALL last night :

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
