Hi all im looking at getting a r33 down the track, still saving etc.

I was wondering what usually needs replacing with a car having 60- 90k's on it, like bushes O2 sensor brake pads, shocks, etc, or are these things usually in good order due to japanese servicing etc. Also when getting a newly imported stock car, will i need to get a piggy back pc etc, to make sure i can run 98 octane or will i still need to mix fuels?

Thanks alot

any other tips on what to do look for, and what usually needs the once over with a second hand stock r33 gtst would be great,

You'll need to keep an eye out for rust as in japan when it is snowing they throw salt on the road...which can cause rust. Also check all the suspension components.

Oh and yes make sure you read that link above..its very handy and a good read too

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
