you cant get a real 33 GTR for 14k for that it will have to be a 32 that's probably ~20 years old and needs lots of parts replaced.

If you do your homework you'll find a well maintained GTR for a good price. They're more reliable than people give them credit for I reckon. I've seen R33 GTRs for $18k at dealers! Mind you it was a short term thing to get rid of stock and they all sold but there are bargains out there if you can stretch it a little.

Good luck either way, the GTST looks quite nice. :(

From what i remember, the QLD mod plate is basically their version of a compliance plate. But if the mod plate says a certain size wheel on it and it happens to be the wheels on the car, I do believe it means the car was complied with them on it. Dont listen to anyone who says the modplate means nothing, without it you car CANT be registered as technically it hasnt been complied.

Also if the car is registered, you dont have to take it over the pits, as i do believe you dont have to get an ID check done as it is older then 15 years. But personally I would get a engineers cert as either you will have to get one if u get defected later down the track or get one now. It would probably be cheaper to remove all the mods in the car just to clear the defect or register it. You also get peice of mind aswell when driving into a road side vehicle checking station.

the mod plate isn't the compliance plate, it's like an engineer's cert. constantly stamped to your car under the bonnet from what i've gathered. Having said that, Dickson told me it's more or less meaningless to them, I'd more than likely need an engineers cert anyway. So I'm gonna end up taking it to Ray once I get it anyway, like you said, it will be worth it down the road when I hit a random inspection.

      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.

      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.
