Well there is another thread here:

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/33-gtst...4a-t174807.html

So he is gonna get the bias of both worlds, and have to filter it out :(

i'am a bit undicided at the moment, i dont wanna buy something then think later, what if i brought a ....... instead. i'am weighing up a few things between the two, like every day driveability, upgrade mods and so on. I was set on getting a 33, but i've seen a few people having trouble selling theres and i dont wanna get stuck with one forever. if the funds were available to me it would be 33 gtr for sure, hopefuly in a year or two, but till then its gtst or 200 for me.

S14a. I have an R33 and am looking at selling it to buy an S14. R33's are just to common, and the stigma attached to driving one is frustrating. Admittedly R33's have better specifications on paper, but they are both great cars. Looks wise S14a takes the cake, whereas an S14.5 is probably one of the hottest conversions possible. R33's seem to be dropping in value. People are selling these for much less than what they should be worth as the market is saturated. Good luck with whatever car you choose, but I feel you will probably be disapointed in the long run if you buy an R33.

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
