NA 1996 R33 Question

Hey guys,

I'm currently considering buying this car:

http://www.autospeed.com/cms/usedcars/stat...34/vehicle.html

I'm going to look at it this weekend, and have already done some investigation into insurance (3rd party around $500 a year with Just Cars)

I saw the other insurance thread, but was just wondering if anyone knew if there are any insurance companies which I could register the car under my dads name for full comp, and have me listed as a second driver. A few of my mates have told me about it but I dunno who to goto to ask about it.

Also, I was just wondering what are the specifications for a NA Skyline (like kws, 0-100 etc) Any figures would be good!

Finally, do you guys think thats a good deal? The 'minor damage' would cost about 500$ to fix, and the car is well within my budget, which means I could get quite a few mods done to it.

Cheers!

Oh and by the way, the reason why I'm not getting a turbo is just due to the fact that I want to spend < 20k but still get an R33 with fairly low ks. I could get a recent turbo, but when you go over 20k I think its a bit risky for your first car! I might turbo it once I get more experienced in driving.

Hey Munky, welcome, and good reason for going NA.

Pretty much any insurance company will insure the car under your dad's name, as long as it's registered under his name, and isnt financed by someone else (eg, you)

As for being a nominated driver, that just means you will pay some more money, especially on any claims excess.

Again, attack the phones and ask, prices are always different depending on the circumstances <- a version of that sentence is in every insurance thread.

As for power, around 7s 0-100 stock, best normally mid 6s with many $$ spent.

Kws anything from 140 up at the flywheel, again depending on mods, wear, age etc

Final answer, and you didnt even ask the question, use the search button. Saves time, saves us all going over the same stuff everytime someone is buying a line. I know i asked all this stuff myself of the search page, and she didnt let me down once.

One day i dream of starting a new thread...

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
