I think we need to just confirm a few things about the R33 non-turbo skylines. Firstly not all R33's were turbo, they came with RB25DE engines.

They may not be turbo but they can hold their own, I went 1 and 0 off the line over 200m 'I think' against R32 GTS-T, so they have plenty of power. Plus they look good done up, WITHOUT being rice!!!

Man you guys were ripped off something shocking!!! My I'm obviously in Tas and I brought mine from the mainland, Vic. It was in perfect condition..one or two spots on the paint, 58K's on the clock (its true k's) stock standard 100% and I picked it up very cheap indeed. $9500.

If you want to get a value on them at the moment go to http://www.carsguide.com.au and value the car. A R33 GTS is worth between about $10 to 13000. That's the average national private sales price anyway. If they really want to sell their car they wont say no to an offer anywhere up to about $2000 less than what they are asking. GTS's are harder to sell then turbos, 'sometimes' so make sure your getting it for the bvest price possible!!

Read back further in the thread - there are 2.0L SOHC NA R33's (GTS spec) - 100kw of pure power as well....... The GTS25's are not bad, but the GTS's on the other hand....

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?

There is a valve in the (standard) 2nd exhaust outlet that opens above 4000rpm (not sure on that value - just what I've heard). Essentially frees up the exhaust a bit. Not sure if that accounts for all of the extra 7kw - the ECU mapping may be slightly different as well?

Yeh mine has one of those.

it makes this sik sound when it does open at bout 5000rpm .

and usually when i pull out of the drive way and take of on the street it does as well.

By revin it 2much wears the engine faster. i dont need that cause my clutch is stuffed and im on the way to buying one of them real soon.

I don't know exactly how much RPM i reach when i get out of my drive way.

i dont want 2 f**k the cltuch up.

My freind just brought a corolla. (lol. 4 cylinder)

EY

I AM ABOUT 2 SELL MY DIRT BIKE FOR $3700 AND I AM PLANING ON SPENDING $1200 ROUGLY ON SOME WHITE POWDER COATED RIMS, AND GETING THE CAR FULLY RESPRAYED OVER . WHITE(SAME COLOUR IT CAME WITH BUT CAR IS MISSING PAINT) WHICH MY MECHANIC TOLD ME WILL COST ME ROUGLY $2000 2 GET THE WHOLE CAR RESPRAYED.

I SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME LEFT OVER BANK AND WITH THIS MY CLUTCH IS NEARLY f**kED THANKS 2 THE ASIAN WHO HAD DRIVEN IT B4 ME.

THAT GONNA COST ME $700 BROUGHT AND FITTED.

AND THAT SHOULD B ALL I NEED FOR NOW OTHER THAN A EXHAUST SYSTEM.:D

BUT THAT CAN WAIT:p

Ey

I've been in the market 4 an exhaust system fitted.

Although i havetrouble finding them my freind has a 67 mini.

ive seen the price for the exhaust systems being sold for the 67' minis and it seems that the older the model the cheaper the price.

the systems i've seen at autobarn for Skylines seem to be costing me between $1000- $2000 g.

why is this so?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
