    @TXSquirrel buddy, this is exactly what i needed. thanks!!! @joshuaho96 i found a manual that they sell out of NZ, that is supposed to have everything (engine, chassis, and some other stuff) and it sells for a decent price, but i don't know anyone that has purchased it. what i don't want to do is pay for the engine only file that everyone has been sharing. @Duncan always chiming in with the excellent advice! thanks all of you!

    hello! does anyone have the correct torque specs for the filler and drain plugs for: transmission: front diff: rear diff: transfer case: I have the service manual, but it only covers the engine, not the rest. I'm looking for specs on an r33 gtr, if it makes a difference. thanks in advance, you absolute legends!

    @Duncan thanks very, very much! when i do the first oil change i’ll take a look.

    @Duncancan you tell me if this is the spot you're referencing?

    that seems really low! do you have a picture of what this looks like?

    hello! if any of you have an r33 gtr and have an oil relocation kit installed, i would be grateful if you shared with me what you used as a mount point. i don't have the oil cooler, i think i will be purchasing an HKS (15004-AN004) kit down the road, but for now i have a greddy relocation kit. this thing doesn't exactly come with any kind of real instruction, just theoretical on how it should work. is there an existing bracket that i should be leveraging, or did you need to drill new holes in the engine bay to get the position correct? is there anything i should know before taking this on? i figured i'd put the adapter plate on the block and then bolt the relocation kit in an easy to access spot on the driver's side, cut the AN hosing to correct lengths and then make the connections. thanks in advance for the recommendations and help!

    thanks, the oil was not much more than the others, so i went ahead and got 3 liters of it. perhaps the shitful clunking will be minimized.

    thanks, mine are aluminum. i was advised to carefully remove mine and re-use it, but i am not really sure how i would re-use a seal like this. i think i will just go with a fresh bead of rtv. thanks for the help!

    hello! i just pulled the valve covers, valley cover, and timing belt cover off. i am going to get them painted, as well as install a mines triple baffle plate. i noticed that the valley cover and timing belt covers have a rubber gasket attached to them, but i do not see part numbers for any of those, nor have i found any results for people replacing these. i am assuming you have to remove them when you get them powder coated. the valley cover gasket isn't even properly attached, so that needs to get replaced anyway. please let me know what the usual manner of doing this is, because i am stumped.

    hello! i finally got my r33 gtr, and the first thing i would like to do is a fluid change. i was doing a little research and was wondering if anyone has tried using the cusco lsd oil? the fluids meet the gl5 80-90 spec, so i am assuming it should work. i've had good experiences with cusco in the past, but wondered if anyone here had tried this specific fluid, and if so, what was the experience like? cheers!

    in the event that anyone in the future is looking to replace the caliper pistons, i found them for sale from one site. they have the rear caliper pistons, the front upper caliper pistons, and the front lower caliper pistons. no specs are given on the page for these pistons.

    @joshuaho96 i'd never seen this site before. a true treasure chest of knowledge. thanks again for all of your help!!
  15. itsforandres
    @joshuaho96 that is the type of data i am looking for! where is that diagram from? i was looking at the Skyline Full Workshop Manual but i was worried that it would just be the same exact stuff that everyone is posting online, which only references the engine, electrical, and spare parts diagrams. i suppose they don't add the torque specs because they source those out from a third party, brembo in this case, and don't have the rights to give out that information. anyway, thanks for the diagram and the advice, they were both really useful! ☺️

    @Shoota_77 yeah, i had watched that video. it's really well made, save for him not really giving any details (part numbers, torque specs, etc.). since he changed out the pistons, i thought it might be a good idea to do the same, but like i said: i have no idea how to order replacement pistons for these calipers. i have the seals ready to go, just was wondering about the pistons. thanks for the torque specs (30-35 Nm)! @joshuaho96 - are you referring to bolts to the hub assembly? i am looking for the specs for putting the actual calipers together, independent of mounting them to the vehicle. i do appreciate the response regardless!

    hello! i have been looking for information on how to rebuild the brakes on a 1995 r33 gtr. i would like to rebuild them myself, but i am having a heck of a time finding anything other than replacement seals. i am looking for replacement/ upgraded pistons, torque specs, the gasket that goes between the caliper halves, if any. i have searched for any kind of documentation on this, but i don't seem to find anything other than engine manuals. on the bremboparts.com site, they only offer replacement pads. no pins, shims, or anything else. does anyone have, or know of, a walkthrough of how to rebuild the calipers? does anyone know of a place to order replacement parts? as these are brembos that were widely used, i really thought all this stuff would be more readily available.

    thanks! i ended up buying a few of these, and they both worked. i don't know of a way to close a thread on here.

    i am looking for the OEM cassette head unit that came in the R33. i'm in north america, please let me know if you have one to sell that is in proper working order. cheers.

    just found your forum and it's filled to the brim with amazing information and great advice. i currently own an r35 and i am looking to pick up an r33 gt-r in the immediate future. cheers!
