Gtr Problems

[jakegts]

Hey everyone,

I am looking to buy a R32GTR but it has a R33GTR engine in it.

I am very interested to know if the 33GTR engine suffered the same oil problems that the 32 GTR had.

If there is a link to all this information please send it to me as i am very serious about purchasing this GTR.

Also any possible warnings or tips upon what to look for in purchasing a GTR would be awesome!

If you have any advice on purchasing a GTR please let me know.

Car was built in Japan and probly used for track, strret and maybe drag racing (exact specs cannot be known but these are all suspected if not priven to e modified to the car)

Specs are below and any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Well given it no longer has an R32 RB26 in it any criticism of the early RB's is rather irrelevant.

Secondly, with all those mods I would have expected to see something relating to the oil pump & maybe an oil restrictor in the head. Maybe they just missed listing it.

Lastly, it doesn't read like a drag car. But you just don't know. Just make sure the thing is reasonably fresh. All the mods in the world won't help if it is flogged out. Good luck getting it complied...

sounds like it was built in australia to me? G4 suspension... catco cat... dirt garage rwd switch etc. so given all these mods done in aus, i'm assuming the car is in aus, which begs the question, why not just ask the owner these kind of questions? i'm not so keen on a pop riveted chassis, and not quite sure how they get two front strut braces on there...

Having usd T618Z on a few customer cars i would be wary as to what you want to use this car for, with T618Z's expect a fair bit of lag as they are designed for heavily modded 26's and are Trusts largest bolt on twins nearly equiv to twin TD06S-20g.

Average output is 440-520 odd rear wheel KW and trust recommend pretty extreme specs with these turbo (nothing under 272 10.5mm) with baby tomei 260's the above setup seems to be a little mis matched, have you driven it or got any power figures?

Have not driven car yet.

Wanting to drive this weekend and quite possibly buy if he will let me.

Car has been for sale for about 1 year and no one has snapped it up. That is why i thought i woudl ask for any assistance if the GTR fields that some people might know more about than me.

He has stated the car has 570 ps at the flywheels but i do not know what that converts to in kw or much else.

Also has it tuned by JEM at 300awkw on 1 bar and 360awkw at 20psi.

Does this all sound right.

Car has been in aus for a while and some mods have been done to it here but the majority of engine work was done in Japan. Just a few thigns done to it in Aus for compliance (prestige motorsport) and just owners own preference after compliance.

Any help would be appreciated.

So is it registered?

[jakegts]

It is registered and road worthy and is being driven as we speak.

Hence the reason i want to buy it.

Will either be my daily driver with a bit of power or my weekend warrior
