R32 = Hotcakes

R33 = Rolling tumbleweed

Probably due to the fact r33s are so common and now you can get compliance for $1200 the market is flooded.

We don’t like to touch 33s for this reason unless it’s a nice colour, manual and overall in very good condition

On the other hand the 32s looks like people can’t get enough. We still get calls for 32s that we sold a month prior.

And it is this reason you can buy a 33gtst for 14k and cheaper and 32 gtst for about the same price.

$1200 compliance? wtf?

Yep, there is something like 80+ workshops doing 33s at the moment. So add another $300 for tyres and you have a full compliance.

Sorry I don’t know all my 33 info off by heart, we don’t do that many of them (we do mainly euro stuff).

But the $1200 price is a definate.

True but I think you may need a separate certificate to comply them.

You nee a separate certificate for 2 door, 4 door, gtr etc except for non turbos which can be brought it.

roflafagus... $1200 for R33 compliance... $1200 for a 15 year old R32 maybe. And wtf different price for S1 and S2... that's a new one. You don't do many of them, yet you charge half the going price anywhere in Australia? That dosen't add up.

I'd like some concrete evidence of this to believe it, and if its true then this compliancer will be getting a shit load of work.

OK,

Well I got some more info; compliance doesn’t matter if it’s S1 or S2.

We can DEFINATLY get it done for $2200 + tires so even in this case it can be done cheaper.

And I have been told from a VERY reliable sources that it can now be done for $1250 (not $1200 like I previously said) + tires, but I guess this price is not 100% confirmed as we have not had the chance to bring in a 33 and get it complied there.

Either way if someone was to import a 33 through us we would defiantly follow this $1250 price up. Worst case scenario you can get it done for $2200.

Still a saving.

So how much would it cost to get a 1998 R33 Series 2 GTS25t though you guys from start to finish?

lol, im not offended, i just think its stupid to say that they are the least desireable, and everyone has them, in the same sentence no less..

Maybe he means less desireable in terms of looks?

Most people don't necessarily buy R33s because they think they look better, you'll find most people like the look of R32s and R34s. But when talking about the GTST/GT-T market, its hard to go past the R33. Unlike the R32, its RB25 equiped, more spacious also its almost as good as an R34 and much cheaper. So the most pracitcal/cost efficient choice becomes the R33, hence their popularity.

Also compliance for $2200 is cheap. I had my old 33 done for $2500 w/o tyres, about a year ago.....the workshop wouldn't do R34s by any chance Mecha? I'm thinking about importing one soon....

Also $1250? wow. that would be cheap, but i don't think it can be done, 15yo compliance is at least 1000 bux these days.

    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
    • Yes, ther are plenty of [racist statement alert] terrifying 50+ yr old ladies of a certain ethnic origin who have no demerits yet still manage to park their cars on top of roundabouts, hanging out of multistory car parking structures and other wild shenanigans. Somehow they puddle through years of driving without ever attracting the attention of the cops, yet the whole time, they are an instant away from doing something spectactularly stupid.
