there was an R33 GTST in the for sale section with an RB26DETT conversion for around $20k i think. HR33 has RB20E engine (can be sedan OR coupe afaik as some 2 doors came with this engine) And ECR33 has RB25 series engine, and can be turbo (sedan + coupe) or non-turbo (type-s coupe). Correct me if I'm wrong. If you are looking on carsales this can be confusing as many sellers seem to put down the wrong model designation.

if its in your garage why do you have to worry about rain?

My headlights were yellow/foggy, so today when I was washing my car I tried some toothpaste on them. Came up good, they actually look clear now!
-
My car does this too. Kind've annoying but I'm too lazy to take the entire dash off to try and fix it.
-
Also check for sale section, might be able to find some there.

Some more sound files of my car, now with Blitz 'SUSPOWER Core Type LM' Pod Filter. I can't notice any induction noise from it though Do your AFM sit horizontally or vertically? Mine used to be vertical but the picture in the instructions for the pod filter showed it mounted horizontally so i made it horizontal now. I dont think it would make any difference which way it goes? And yes my exhaust drones inside. My mate from work said he pulled up beside me the other day just to hear my exhaust! upstreet_pod.wav launch_pod.wav

what foam are you guys talking about?
-
do a search. I think R32 GTSTs are legal in Vic but not R33 GTST. I dont think you could add weight to the vehicle to make its power weight ratio worse (and therefore legal) as they would go by stock power/weight figures I would imagine.

Hi Guys And Girls, Yep Im A Newbie!
cogs replied to oneday's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
R32 GTS-T and GTS-4 have RB20DET (2.0L turbo). GTS-T is RWD, GTS-4 is AWD like GTR. R32 GTR has RB26DETT (2.6L Twin Turbo) as does the R33 and R34 GTR. R33 GTS-T (aka GTS25T) have the RB25DET (2.5L Turbo). R33 also has a GTS-4 model which is AWD but it has RB25DE (NON-TURBO 2.5L). How much are you looking at spending? If you're chasing 400rwkw, you'd probably be best starting with an R32 GTR or an R32 GTS-T with an RB26DETT conversion. Moral of the story.. RB26DETT is the most powerful skyline engine -
R33, R34 CAI box & radiator panel
cogs replied to Maxx's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
How well do these CAI boxes keep engine heat away from the POD filter? I've just put a Blitz pod filter on my NA R33 and may need to order one of these depending on how badly I notice power loss by pod sucking in hot air. -
#6 in black and gold.. at least you're ricing your N/A up in style

I measured my old stock exhaust, it was around 2". My car sounded sh*t with stock exhaust, as my friend said when I put my new one on "now it sounds like a skyline!"

Thats awesome! Does anyone have any info on this car?

In my pics (see attachments) the bolt circled in red is the bolt which holds the power steering pump to the engine bracket. You need to remove this bolt. Circled in yellow are the 3 bolts holding the belt tensioner assembly. Two are on the left and the other is in the middle, directly below the bolt that holds the PS pump to the bracket (circled in red). Shown in blue is the adjuster at the end of the tensioner assembly. As you can see the previous owner had a nice washer and nut collection going on mine lol. This usually adjusts the tension of the belt but since you are taking the entire assembly off there is no need to adjust it to remove the belt. So you need to drain fluid (i removed the hose at the back of the pump), remove large bolt holding top hose. Remove pump by taking out 3 tensioner assembly bolts (shown in yellow) and remove long bolt holding ps pump to bracket (shown in red). Thanks Duncan, sorry guys but I did use a 15/16" socket and it still worked but then again I wasn't concerned about wrecking the bolt as one came with my new pump hehe, try to use the correct metric size. Also as Duncan mentioned it is probably easier to remove the big bolt (the one that holds the top hose on) with the PS pump still in place. Make sure when you put the new pump in you put all the bolts, hoses etc back on. If you have anymore questions just ask. Good luck.

Before you do this check your power steering belts tension and remember this. From memory the book states it should have 9-15mm of deflection at 10kg of pressure? So if you push it down with your finger it should roughly move about 1cm. I just undid the long bolt at the top which holds the PS pump to the engine bracket. I couldn't take this bolt right out at this stage as the pulley holes werent lined up with it. Then I ended up undoing the whole tensioner assembly (2 bolts on the left and one in the middle). Now you can pull the power steering pump down so it's closer to the engine side creating more slack in the belt so you can now remove the belt from the pulley. Rotate the pulley now (as it can turn freely) if need be to line a hole in the pulley up with the top bolt. Remove this long bolt and now you can remove the power steering pump from it's bracket as it's no longer held in by any bolts. I didn't know a good way to drain the power steering fluid so I just took off the hose at the back of the pump and just let the fluid drain out, this is pretty messy so I put lots of newspaper under the car as I didnt have a jack and I couldnt get a oil pan to fit under my car. Now for the part I had some trouble (took me 2 days because of this), the gold bolt that attaches the hose at the top of the power steering pump. I found this impossible to get off with a shifter but after purchasing a 15/16" socket the next day I was able to eventually get the c*nt off after a few goes. I'm not sure if they're all this hard to undo but I would suggest using a socket wrench as it worked for me! So after you undo this bolt (btw mine had a washer attached underneath the hosing) you can remove the hosing that it was holding and begin putting your new power steering pump in! Mine was already clean but if your new pump is looking a bit gritty it might be best to spray some degreaser on it and then give it a hose down before putting it in. Make sure you do the belt backup to the same tension. When you've put all the bolts back on (make sure you remember them all) and adjusted the belt tension correctly you can start filling up the resorvoir with PS Fluid. I used Valvoline Formula F Power Steering Fluid ($10 for 1L at Supercheap), it says it specially designed for Ford Falcons or something which had me worried but my mate said he uses it in his WRX and he hasn't had any problems so I went with it. Yeh so just topped the resorvoir up till it registered full then started the car (with the PS resorvoir cap off) and turned the steering wheel lock to lock (this apparently gets rid of air in the system). The car was making an awful sound that you do not want to hear your car make. I checked the fluid and it was down so I topped it up again (air loss and the fact that the hose lines would be empty I guess). Ran the car again and the awful noise was gone so I think the noise was just the pump running dry. Took the car for a test drive and it seemed fine and havent had any problems with it yet (touch wood). This is the first time I've done this and I probably made a few mistakes so dont take what I've written as gospel but it worked for me and might give some people a rough idea of what to do if they dont know.

I picked it up off Campbell on these forums. Send him a PM he might have more, he's always got R33 parts for sale. He's located in QLD.

cogs replied to hoffarama's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
what state are you in? can you put some pics up? -
i thought R32 GTR rims were still 16" like R32 GTST ones? R33 are 17" and R34 are 18"? Correct me if i'm wrong
-
You are of course assuming that the tyre place did them up correctly. There's every chance they didn't so it would be worth checking if R33fourdoor believes this could be the problem.
