Hey everyone, it's nice to have joined your forum.

As the topic say's i am keen to purchase an R33 GST-T Series II in the very near future and just thought id ask a few basic questions since you guys drive this sort of car.

Also im not some red p plater who is 17 and is having mummy and daddy buy this for him :( if only i was that lucky, im 21 and have yet to lose a point on my licence ( thought id state this coz i know what it's like having some noob come onto a forum and say yeah bro im getting a skyline and then you find out they dont even have their licence yet )

Just wondering if there is anything i should look out for while looking for a Skyline to buy? im assuming check for oil leaks and shaft play in the turbo etc? ive heard cigarette burns are common with imports but that's the least of my worries.

Any common problems with Series II GTS-T's?

And finally any hassles from police? I drive sensibly and dont plan to put 19 inch chromes on it so i should be fine but just thought id ask if you guys have minded your own business and had run-ins with the law.

Thanks guys and quite possibly some girls too B)

p.s i also apoligise if my answer could have been answered with a search

Well, i suppose the most obvious would be not to form an opinion based on the odometer reading. they're almost all wound back. cig burns arent that common, my S2 doesnt have any - only a tiny 1cm rip in the driver side seat.

you shouldnt have any hassles from cops either.

Thank's for all the help guys.

Actually Dezz my first choice was an S14a actually but due to the fact that back seat passengers are almost non-existent or would whinge alot and that insurance for me would be a good $1000-1500 cheaper on a Skyline than with a 200sx, ive opted to go for a S2 GTS-T.

They just seem more practical for me in my current situation. Last time i sat in the back of a skyline i had plenty of leg room unlike my friends bro in the backseat of my friends 180sx, he was so squashed :P

Oh and like the pic of the ladies :(, well same chick x 4 but either way very pleasant on the eyes :)

when i sat in the back of an R33 i had neck pains lol

lol Ive only been in Skyline's briefly, 1 R33 GTS-T and 1 R33 GTR with the same owner at different times ( only went around the block pretty much). All i can say is that 1 time he launched that GTR ive never felt so many g forces :P more than any 180sx or HSV ive been in.

My skyline is my daily driver too, never get any hassle from the cops, helps that its stock as can be, no kits or wings etc, even out cruising I rarely get a 2nd look from them.

That's comforting to know.

Luckily im not on my P's either.

My dad said he saw a police woman give this 180sx driver dirty looks ( he was on his P's ) and the poor guy done nothing wrong lol I've seen it before also.

it was my idea kind of, but everyone else was eligible for 1...they took em off to fix how they work :unsure:

im about 5ft 10...i think the problem is i was in the middle seat in the back, which is raised a fair bit...and i had to like squash my neck to stop my head hittin the rear window/roof.

lol yeah Dezz i think the back is more designed for 2 people lol no way id sit in the middle :angry: didnt even think there was a seatbelt for the middle?

Thanks for the extra tips and web links also!

true mate, i wouldnt sit there by choice

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
