G'day all at the SAU forums.

seems this is my first post here, il introduce myself

just bought a 1994 R33 GTS25.

met grey, dead stock (minus Blitz Nur Spec R zorst), Turbo front bar.

needs a few bits of work done to it, which il describe here

- CAI: Have already had a poke around the forums at this, shouldnt be too hard, looking to build a custom airbox for it aswell

- 5stud converstion (maybe?): How much benefit/what is requiered to perform this? im thinking if i get the GTS-T brakes then this will probly be neccesary, but correct me if im wrong

- Rims (dependant on the above): dished 5spoke of snowflake?

- GTS-T brakes: how hard would these be to track down, my brake atm are shocking. whether its just the fact they need new pads or they are too small, im still not sure. someone said that they were silvia-spec brakes, which makes me worried cos the 33 is a tad heavier...

- ABS (possible to retrofit?): would help alot with the lock ups that are way to easy to do atm. would compliment the T brakes nicely

- Full stereo system (to come much later): will discuss later

theres also other little bits and pieces like clear indicators and floormats etc, but all those things are possible wihtout much consultation, the above items i need some help on deciding on.

so yeah, thats my car, any help is appreciated :(

Welcome!! Your car reminds me of my old gun grey 33 gts, before I kitted it, added stereo, exhaust/extractors/ CAI and Bride copy seats went into it (which I miss) Stock s13 seat is a bitch lol =)

Just upgrade to the entire GTS-T breaking/Hub/stud assembly.

You'll have bigger breaks, wider choice of wheels. Check wreckers, fs threads etc.. Pretty cheap to do if you can do the labour yourself!

Just aim for lightweight rims with a flush offset! (No dinner plate chromies)

Not sure about ABS...

what he said!

get exhaust for it too, try the ones with big muffler rather than cannons, or it'll get too loud and drowny on na.

or just get r33 gtst exhausts for a cheap upgrade

abs is good but you'll need a lot of effort finding and installing it, maybe costly too

you'll at least need sensors on all 4 wheels, electric wiring and relay, abs assy, lines, and new brake master cyl...

probably not worth it in the end

just upgrade to gtst brakes and some nice progressive pads, and good tyres

iv already got a Blitz cat-back exhaust, 2.5" (i think) came like that. and it sounds tuff.

ABS sounds like way too much effort...GTS-T brakes along with the 5stud conversion seems to be the way to go. would i need spacers if i go with the 5stud, and go for something along the lines of 8/8.5" width tyres?

something that seems to be an issue, my aircon belt makes an intolerable scream when cold...i know this is common on older cars, but you know its kinda embarrassing when you start your car up in the main street and get that noise...

other than taking it to a service center, is there anyway of rectifying it otherwise?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
