hi guys just sold my sil and is now looking for a ECR33 gtst i just have a few questions before buying one....

1. i hate the series 1 wing and was wondering how easy it was to aquire a s2 wing and swap.. is it a straight swap????

2. does the 4ws effect yhe handling in a negative way?

how is the cheapest/easiest way to lock it?

3. except from exterior styling what is the main differences between series1 and 2

any help is welcome and i hope to be a skyline owner soon :)

1. Not sure if this would be a straight swap...the mounting holes may be different.

2. HICAS is fine for road use, but can slow you down on lap times at the track. Cheapest way is to buy a lock bar.

3. Series 2 came with ABS and drivers airbag. I think the front seats are also different. Different ECU and ignition system. Not sure what else.

Yeah I would also recommend letting us all know when you are ready to buy..... I have been umming and ahhing about selling My R33 to move over to a stagea and I think I could be persuaded to part with mine... I am looking for around 20k .... again not a stock R33 its got a few goodies and has 300rwhp...

So yeah let us know cause you could quite possible pick up a gem of a car here... the advantage you have here is that most of our cars are well known around here :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
