There is apparently a CA18 R33 as well...

Nope, only the R32 was cursed with the CA18, was called the GXi.

Though the R33 GTS has the RB20E (ie SOHC head) which is almost as bad (no offence to GTS owners out there!).....

You are correct about the GTS4 - Stevie's post is wrong, there is no such thing as a (factory) 2.5L Turbo GTS4, unless it has been converted using a RS4 Stagea motor.

:sadam: :sadam:

Sweet, it's a GTS25 then. If you can have a look at the muffler, assuming it still has the standard one look for a mechanism attached to 1 of the 2 outlets from the rear of the muffler. If there is a valve looking mechanism there, then you have a type S with 147kw. If not then you've got 140kw.

Other place to look is behind the boot lining on the left hand side below where the jack is located, you'll see an actuator with a cable that runs to the valve in the muffler. If the actuator isn't there then it isn't a type S.

Minor details though, if you buy it have fun!

Mqy mechanic just found that my clutch is out.

my pressure plates are fked.

the japanese that owned it last stuffed it the clutch.

i got it as as japanese import ,so, they must have been .

the japanese cant have there car for more than 100.000 kms.

then it's taken to the wrecker or imported here.

mine was imported to australia and i brought it.

People in my class think it waS A mistake for buying it for it has a stuffed clutch.

now my mechanic thinks its gonna cost me $700 to buy a new one.

come to think of it my clutch aint completely fked like it still runs but the gears are slipping.

please reply give me your views

classmates are beggining to make me regret buying it for 15,000. :chairshot

cheers

that's right go hide under your turbo!  :chairshot  

seriously the car isn't as bad as the turbo driver's say and we get to bag all thsoe turbo driver's who can barely go half the distance off 1 fuel tank. i been hearing they get something like 250km/tank.

im getting somewhere in the vacinity of 450 to 500 kms to a tank if i drive casual.

$15000 k is pretty steep considering its an atmo FLYR33 but if its in good nick low k's etc who cares you'll probally drive it through the floor anyway just have fun with it man.

Congrats Hey!!!

ohh yeah your clutch ... buy a new one fix the problem before you get more!!! (gota love the japs most of them couldnt give a shit about their cars lol)

you dont need a heavy duty or twin plate carbon special triple plate mother of a sucker just the factory one ...

you can get one of the pretty cheap from justjap i think ----> www.justjap.com

just out of curiousity did you get a waranty when you bought it?

p.s. dude all skylines bar a few local sold r32 gtr's are imports

hey, i also got a N/A 33 for my first car, if you have any send some pics, would be nice to see what kind of condition it is in. Mine is a black 93 gts25 and im happy with it but will probly doing a conversion soon. i got mine for $12 500 and it goes very well. get back to me with some pics or something, cheers eli

I have never heard of an R33 GTS4 Turbo, all the 33 GTS4's I've seen have been NA

The only other single turbo GTS4 I've seen is an R32 GTS4.

and before someone makes a smart arsed comment, GTR's with single turbo conversions dont count :P:)

I used to have R33 GTS-4, and plan was to turbo by putting RB26DETT but then money ran out :)

$15000 isnt expensive considering u r the first owner in Oz... u do get what u pay for...

i paid a little more than that with few low km's (just passed 80000 this morning)

genuine km - got paper work to go with it. its in good nick and never a problem.

clutches do tend to go and an R33 GTST stocko or equivalent is a sufficient upgrade.

Hey Ant, what's the go with this type S 140/147kws? how does that valve mechanism add the 7 kws? Obviously something to do with the exhaust but how does it work exactly?

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
