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?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
