Is this normal?

[POOMBAH]

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?

[Brackez]

5 stud for turbos, 4 stud for N/As.

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

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

Yeah 4 stud = NA (GTS)

As for k's .. look at the condition of the car.. if it matches it -might- be true.. if not you know it's wound back for sure.

Either way if it goes it goes goodlucK

I drive around 100ks a week.

really?

i would think that pretty rare. most of us would do round 300 ?

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

while on the topic of being 'normal'

is 6 (sometimes 7)kms/L the average usage of petrol by a stock R33 Series1 GTST?

ever since i got it, i have only put in BP Ultimate.

you should be getting 450+ easy on a stocker

[Let Me Drive]

i get 400 on 200rwkw so for a stocker 450km should be easy

[Dee 33]

On a stocker I get 450km.

[rukus]

ok then what could be wrong with it? :|

[LBR33]

i got 400km out of a tank when i was stock

[rukus]

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

360kms in 53L - crap.

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 :
