Hey guys.

My name's Aleks and I'm from adelaide :D

I'm an apprentice motor mechanic starting monday and I'm in the market for an R33 GTS-T.

I'm always hated skylines, always thought of them as a japanese commodore that is' nearly as common as the australian one :P

But since actually having driven one, and being in a GTR this has greatly, GREATLY changed my point of view. So much that I know want one :D with only $15,000 to spend sadly a GTR is out of sight for me but i'm gonna get myself a nice GTS-T and use it as my daily.

About me?

I'm a croatian kid :) 18 years old, a motor mechanic apprentice.

I currently drive an MZ20 but i'm selling it an upgrading to a 33 :D

Now I've been lurking here for a while reading up on nearly every thread I could. But I still have some questions!

First of all, this is the car I'm most likely looking to get. http://carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/de...1&silo=1011

Here is basically the run down

*TO3-4 turbo

*G-ready plenum

*Injectors

*Headers

*GTR intercooler

*GTR fuel pump

*Oil cooler

*Double plated clutch

*Up graded brakes

*3 1/2 inch exhaust system

1. Can anyone tell me what kind of power this would make? Owner has no dyno results.

2. What amount of boost is safe? On my MZ20 I never went past 7psi as that was stock and I didn't want to blow the engine up.

3. What oil? I've used penrite 20w 50 on my MZ20 but that's an old engine. From the guild on here I couldn't actually figure out an answer...

4. Recently went to a dealer who was selling a really nice stagea, but it was sold. he showed me two GTS-T's he had for sale. $10,000 for a S1 and $15,000 for an S2. Isn't the difference purely cosmetic + dual air bags on S2?

:D

I've got 2 buyers keen on buyin' my car now so I need to pick out a nice 33 fairly soon :(

Anyhoo that's it fellas, I'll probably be a lil' more spoken now and lurk a little less. My mechanical knowledge as current is minimal especially with an engine besides the 7M-GTE.

Cheerio,

Aleks

Ahhh so i'm not the only one :)

Speak it?

Aleks

To be perfectly honest not well at all. If you dont use it you forget it. That and the fact that my parents seperated when I was 5. So any Cro that I had rapidly began to deteriorate.I can understand most conversations to some degree, But if I try and speak back.....it all just comes out WRONG!!!!

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
