which turbo's on R33 GTR?

[8thSIN]

Hi

am about to start shopping for a GTR this weekend

I understand GTR's come with T28 turbo's but not all models are ball bearing units.

Can anyone pls shed which which year models had the old school T28's and which ones came with the ball bearing versions of the T28?

Also, what sort of "flaws" should I look out for or common faults with the R33 models?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks and Happy New Year all.

Hi 8thSIN,

all I can say is "Good Luck" in finding a half decent GTR. The only thing I would reccomend is getting it checked out by "Someone who really knows" not just someone who thinks they know.

By the way, I think Gerald from ICE Performance is selling his Series 1 GTR Vspec.

I was of the opinion that 33GTR's came with the same ceramic bb turbos. The exception is the n1's which have steel wheel n1 turbos.

As for flaws, well the early 33's have been around for a while. Things like the rubber hoses & pipes in the engine bay get frail and brittle due to heat and age, as well i have seen AFM's become faulty and lean out one bank. Coils can become faulty as well as fuel pumps. Origional kilometers also becomes a problem as the japs love to wind back the clock. Remember this can happen to any and all cars that are becomming older. I dont think there is too many common flaws though, just basic maintenance and attention is required.

Gerald from ICE Performance has an absolute immaculate R33 GTR for sale. This was/is his personal car and is a real stunner. If you are serious about finding a good car at a great price call him on 9512-7591 or 0414-359-888

thanks RedR32. I was under the impression that some early model GTR's (maybe R32's??) came with non-bb turbo's then the later models were updated with ball bearing units. I know that the R32 GTS-T's came with ceramic wheels instead of steel making them frail with anything over 13-14psi.

pity about the "winding back the clock" issue.. yeh I know it's one of their favourite past times, but I hope in finding a late model GTR, it might be more "believable".

HKS GT25's? or TRUST BB Turbos

Call Gerald. Its midnight purple, stock (except for exhaust) origional kilometers and never crashed. That is guaranteed. Just take it for a spin and you will see im right

i don't think GTR's come from factory with hks or trust turbo's lol..

it's the standard GT28 turbo's.. but no one can tell if which models have the ball bearing ones

RedR32 - would u know what is his asking price?

cheers

[PurpleR32]
