So many treads on SAU about buying R33 GTR's, might want to do a search first

but you can start by reading this

Also i would recommend getting it checked by Import's workshop as they would know what to look for

Get the motor checked. Compression test & leak down and help identify the condition of the motor, don't want this item being tired as it can cost you a fortune. Avoid RAC checks, they are hopeless, get it checked over by a Japanese workshop.

Was happy with an R34. Pretty much agreed to buy it, pending inspection result. Even had my bank cheque in my pocket.

Took it to ASG for an inspection just to be safe. 160 105 155 160 110 100 on the cylinders :)

Best $200 ever spent.

God_speed is selling his very shortly.

Totally unmodified except exhaust & Tein adjustable coilovers (by remote).

Won best R33 GT-R at SnS April '09.

100,000km service done in full by Tune House just a little while ago > worth a look, unless you want lots of mods.

I used to have a M-P one a few years back, and had no problems with it.

Comp test + check front crank seal for oil (re: oil pump)

      Let's face it. 90s turbo 6 with 80s tech in it is not going to be the thing that runs as clean as a whistle.

      No. See below. No. In the specific case of Enthusiast, the wording in the PDS says, explicitly, " We will not pay any claim on a Vehicle with any Modifications not agreed by us and not listed in the Schedule. This includes any Modifications or the fitting of a device that contravenes the requirements of the Australian Design Rules [ADRs] or where allowed, the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules [AVSR]." The 2nd paragraph needs to be read in a different tone of voice from the 1st. The two concepts are connected, but they are two different concepts. The 1st says your mods must be listed and agreed with us. The 2nd effectively says "we won't pay if any mods are not legal". The way that it has been written in more general insurances for a long time has been that if the mod contributes to the accident then you're shit out of luck, but if the mod didn't contribute, then you'll probably get away with it. With "probably" being a very flexible term, and being an insurance company, better left untested than hoped on!

      I'm not surprised, I favour a bit of a richer tune which for sure isn't helping the emission numbers.

      Overboosting is more likely a function of whatever boost controller you are using than the actuator. "Overboosting" is a feature of cheap boost tee type control. If you don't want to see peaks of overboost, you have to set it to not produce them. And that then means you don't run as much boost as you might like elsewhere. That's just life. Electronic boost controllers can generally be set to do a much better job of managing the peak boost.

      Had a good chuckle because it is listing THC g/km. Though it is not tetrahydrocannabinol but total hydrocarbons. Interesting how the numbers seem so much worse compared to Greg's big V8.
