Hey Everyone, And 33 Gtr Question

[dougie]

hey everyone, im dougie and im new here. i am wanting to buy a R33 GTR. V Spec, looking towards series 2 97-98. waiting on a nice tidy low k car. looking for some advice on what i am to expect in buying this car, i do work full time, but im no millonaire. and alittle worried about expenses of a GTR . i just dont want to jump into the deep end without some experienced advice. cheers guys.

mostly interested in parts availability, costs of regular parts, and any known common problems with the 33 v spec. any advice is much appreciated.

first of all go for a series 3 if you can and as long as you dont abuse it and service it regular your upkeep wont be any more than any other car

[dougie]

cheers mate, is your GTR a daily driver? if so whats fuel costs like, are they really thirsty?

[UWISSH!]

mate if its a standard car with just a few bolt ons petrol wont be too bad, as long as you dont constantly boot it around it should be no different to any other car.

but if you start modifying it alot then expect petrol to get sucked down quick

thanks mate.

i daily mine. got bigger turbos but still running standard boost, i get around 13-15L/100km

[dougie]

have u got dyno bhp reading with upgrade turbos? what is the stock boost psi? 7 -8ish?

[pistol-pete]

stock boost is around 11psi and atm mine makes 255rwkw. once ive got my bigger injectors in though ill be turning the boost up

[dougie]

nice. should be enough to hit high 11 sec 1/4's, wat u think? wat boost u plan to run with the injector upgrade? hows the box strength at that kinda power?

[pistol-pete]

idk really maybe around 18-20psi
