umm i dont think the 94-95 r33gts25's had rb25de's i think they were just rb25e's

if u want twin cam get late 95 (build date around 11/95) or above

that is if im correct

i no one of my frendz sisters got a '96 r33 gts25t (which wasnt a 25t, just a gts m-spec (did the gts ever come out in m-spec?) with a gts25t sticker on it) in WA for around 15 if i remeber rightly (maybe even more)

very very nice car - very clean inside and out - looks really good

Ew, yeah, I'm staying right away from the SOHC engines... I'm pretty sure I've seen both a '94 and '95 rb25de though.

Will make triply sure next time I look, though :P

my car is a early 1994 model er33 gts rb25de ....... !!!hope that answers the question !!!

Certainly does :D

Now just find me a car of similar specs for sale nearby and it'll make me even happier :D

Hahahaha

I took it for a drive yesterday... That thing is a hell of a car!

It blew me away.

I'm going to look at a R33 tonight, but I'm really leaning towards that R32.

I'll need to fix it up a bit, though...

I'll be looking at it again tomorrow if it's there :D

God dammit lol, i'm so jealous :(

Hooray for me rushing into buying a car haha.. oh well... I'm happy I mean after all no need to really be picky until i get a turbo :O

Out of curiosity, what needs fixing up? Unless you mean asthetics..

Looked to me like it needed a good wheel alignment, needed to get the accellerator pedal tightened, but it had a new exhaust and air filter on it, and was nice inside. Drivers door looks like it had been taken off once or twice though, it was a bit loose too. Suspension needed a bit of a fix up, too, but as far as I know, the suspension was adjustable.

Other than that, it'd be a fantastic non-turbo track car, or a bit if a bumpy road car :(

Whats the Update? Did you end up buying it Veeedka. look forward to hearing from you.

I'm currently checking out one which is a bit more on the expensive side, but one that I'm negotiating on price with. This one is from an importers, he wants $14k with 3 months rego, and I don't want to pay that much... But he's kitted it very nicely, I think it's a '95 1.5 series. 2.5L non turbo, sounded like a new exhaust, 18" Marriott rims, new S2 kit on it, very very clean car. In midnight blue, too... also comes with 1 yr warranty.

So, now I'm looking for a car loan...

Price? more pics... what was your process

Heh... undisclosed amount :woot: haha.

It was a few grand more than I wanted to pay, though... But I think I got a pretty damn good deal.

More pictures at: http://members.ii.net/~veeedka/Victor's%20R33/

I don't think it looks too bad :blink:

Hmmm, process?

What do you mean?

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
