Well after approx 5 months of trading my R32 Veilside Widebody GTR, I have sold my WRX and bought a R33 GTR. Its a 1996 Midnight Purple series 2 with a few mods. It has just come from japan, so I will be the first owner in OZ. The car has an immaculate interior and drives beautifully. Gearbox is smooth and quite and handles like all great GTRs should. I have owned 3 R32 GTRs over the years and this will be my first R33 GTR. The WRX was a nice car, but I have a massive soft spot for GTRs and cant wait to get back into the feeling of an RB26:)

The car has-

3inch Kakimoto Catback Exhaust.

18inch gold BBS rims with Brand New Pirelli P6000s.

320kmh Nismo white dash and centre gauges.

Carbon Fibre bonnet.

400R carbon fibre front bar.

Boost Controller.

Aftermarket radiator.

Blitz Intercooler.

Tein Coilovers.

Looking forward to showing you guys pics and getting back to being a member of the GTRs brigade!!

Yeh got full RWC and compliance with bonnet, Rego today at vic Roads and taking delivery tonight!!

I am pretty sure bonnet anfd front bar are fibre glass, not carbon fibre.

Give me a few days for pics.

Thanks Guys.

Hmmm, i thought you need to get an engineers approval for the bonnet or they are illegal.

Picked the car up last night and it drives like a dream!! It has full japanese log books and even has logged when Nismo 320kmh dash was put in. Looks like a great example of a well looked after GTR.

When the weather improves, I will upload pics for everyone ;)

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • 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.
