Sorry to bring this up again guys, i sure theres a tread about his, but i can't find it unless its about the GTS-t . I know all the turbo version uses Premium Unleaded, but wat about the N/A model? I got the 1993 R33 GTS25 (Non-Turbo!) So wat fuel do u guys use and recommend? Without harming the oxy sensor.

Thanx in advance...

Thanks, so i'm assuming that when you guys said premium unleaded you mean ones like BP Ultimate, Shell Optimax, Caltex Vortex etc... Cause BP for instance, aren't there like the BP Ultimate with 98 RON and the Premium Unleaded with i think 95 RON?

Someone clear this up for me please

Thanx again.

ultimate is the stuff man, never heard of premium unleaded from BP, thats just the normal stuff. Ive got a user handbook which says anything over 95 however because they are run on 100 in japan its reccommended to use hihger octane fuel like shell, BP, which are 98 (from memory) caltex (97) and errm the others lol.

nah the handbook i got was an 8 page nuthing really, just had sum general things about the car, nuthin special really. I suggest u go to that website that skyla put on cos they are pretty cheap the workshop manuals, i would get one if i had the money to get it :D everything about the line would be simplified then at least!

Yea i won't spend $250 for the workshop manual but may be $50 just for the owners manual. Is that the one you got nismoman18?

And skyla for this one http://www.jpnz.co.nz/xcart/customer/produ...12&cat=8&page=3 how much is it in aus dollar plus postage and handling, do you know? It would be good if aust has got one here. :D

ight thanx guys...:burnout:

I think the exchange rate at the moment is about $1NZ = 0.87c AU so you would be looking $43.50 AU. Sorry don't have a clue on what postage would cost.

I do have a R33 owners hand book, but it's in Japanese. But it still comes in handy now and then.

Bp sell their "BP ultimate 98 octane" and a few BP places also sell "premium unleaded" which is 95 octane, instead of ultimate.

My old R33 GTS ran on regular unleaded, which is what was recommended in the Japanese Handbook. The handbook for my GT-V (RB25DE) recommends nothing but "Hi Oku", or premium unleaded.

Incidently, it's commonly believed that the Japanese use 100 octane (RON) fuel over here. So far, I have yet to find a gas station that listed the ratings of the various fuels available, so it's hard to say for sure exactly what octane Japanese pump gas really is!

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
