Well I have been lurking for along time now ;) I have been envious and jealous as all hell that every one here talks about "their" cars and I aint got one.

Whilst I have had the money to buy a 10g 2nd Hand Falcon or Holden they just dont compare to the Skyline :burnout:

I have been waiting for months now for a local importer who works for TAU, and as he mainly deals with the surfs and seems to spend more time in Japan than here.

I dont think he has been taking me seriously.

So there is not a Import car yard in Brisbane I have not been hovering around like a vulture :(

Because I know what they sell for in yen as well as all the costs to get them on our roads I was hesitant to pay Car yard prices.

So I have found one and bar a catastrophe it will be mine by Friday or Monday.

93 R33 GSTt Auto

46208 km

$14500

Have taken it for a test drive and crawled over every square inch of it.

It will do for me.

Will be puting a deposit on it tomorrow

Yiiiipppppyyyyy :D

From what I can tell its just wax from buffing, the white stuff under the edge of the light.

I had my brother (An Auto Sparky) and a turbo shop have a look at it.

It would seem that the K's are not genuine. The numbers on the odometer are not dead straight.

And the Brake disk have a to much wear for the K's on the clock.

But they seem to think it was a good buy for the price as the Turbo Shop owner use to import them him self.

That is a bit of a worry but going on the wear and tear as I have seen on 100k ones its no wear near that.

Seat are in excellent condition the brake and accelerator rubbers have no wear. The suspension is still rock hard and I could not see that any evidence of crash repair. All bolts are wear they were from factory.

But for the price which I was able to get him down to $14500, I am prepared to get it. In fact I have paid 90% with the rest to be paid on Saturday when I pick it up.

In the last few months I have looked at lots and test driven many and comparing it to the others it seems quicker that some of the modified ones.

I have done several full boot runs at both low and high speed and not a spec of unburnt fuel and smoke comes out.

There are no flat spots and (this is the bit I like) it smokes both rears on take of with a bit of old ride the break and dump (Auto).

I had a run with a late model XR6 from 100k's and steadily pulled away to 160 where I backed off hehehe

I have wound it out to 180k's on the freeway and its smooth as a babies bum.

I would love to have had another couple of thou to spend but as it is the budget has gone over what I wanted to spend.

I going to spend an extra $300 odd to get one of those extended Gold 3year warranty's that cover cost's of parts up to certain amounts.

EG: $750 on brakes etc.

I really feel that if I pass this one up it, will some time before I find another in as good a condition. Let alone price.

The person who said he could get me one imported for around the 12K mark has not been as help as he was when I first met him. And even if he finds me one in Japan I think the wait and fear of not getting a good once over before parting with the folding money a bit scary.

So he is putting on some new tyres, wheel alignment and a few other things atm and I will be picking it up on Saturday.

So I will be an official R33 GTSt owner on Saturday and am looking forward to my first cruise with you guys.

Just have a to find a way to sleep till then :)

:cheers::wave:;)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
