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 :

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
