Hey I just bought a r33 gtr 97 100xxxks from the auctions and very happy with it

Upgradding from a 33 gtst couldn't believe how much better it handles :touch:

But one problem at low revs there's some vibration ( between 800-1500 rpm)

Was thinking a engine mount or somthing?

It's not a bad vibration I can feel it on the peddles and steering wheel, takingit to the

Workshopthis week for a service just wanna know before I take the car in

And also what's thebest grade oil for it

Cheers :D

Not much can be said about your vibration mate, you will need to get the car looked at to identify what could be causing it. Based off the info youve given it could be anything.

As for oil, follow manufacturer spec of make your own decision. Generally a 10w40 would be fine, I like to use a thicker oil such as a 20w50. Quality should be your focus, dont skimp out on it.

If you owned a skyline previously you can continue to use the same oils you were using previously (Theres no special requirement for an RB26 over an RB25).

Also, the handling difference between your GTST and your GTR would be based on condition and mods :D Essentially they are the same car, just the GTR is alot heavier. Sorry to break your heart :rant: lol.

Haha ohh k its a vribtation coming into the cabin between 800 and 1500rpm

When I put the clutch in and take off from the lights its not that noticeable but if I'm at stand still and rev it slightly to 1300rpm this vibration comes into the cabin I can feel it through my door trim steering wheel and the accelerator

Hope that's more info

Talked to the local mechanic and he recons it's probly the engine mount

I'm waiting for yavuz from ue engineering to have a looksy :D

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
