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 ;)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
