Hey guys,

Time for a change - so selling my R33.

Its a 1993 S1 GTS-T two door in black (well most of it is black).

Odo reads 170k (but its probably been wound back like the rest of them).

Mechanically its outstanding for a car of its age - the whole reason I bought this thing. It pulls cleanly and has always been serviced and looked after. I'm the second owner in Australia - my mate was the first and he drove this for 7ish years, like my nanna. Seriously, he is a top bloke but why he owned a skyline I don't know. We lived in Wagga so its done a lot of long range work and highway kms. I used to drive to to Sydney and back every fortnight for a few months (return trip of 1000+ kays), plus it did two trips from Wagga (4000+ kms). Been serviced heaps - I would say every 4000 odd kms.

Interior is typical of a car of this age - good condition overall (its had mats and seat covers in the front). It did have some epic freaking soft drink explosion which has been steam cleaned - but there are still some marks to help add character. Dash in in good shape, trims are all there. Seats still bolted in. Fully hektik drift steering wheel. I've got the stocker somewhere which would be ok with a cover. Its been fitted with an alpine ipod head unit (which works great) and some pioneer 6 inch speakers.

The A/c has been removed to add both street cred and aid in cooling - the parts are all there and if you really wanted to you could put it back in (or you could harden up a bit).

Its sitting on R32 GTS-T stock rims with decent rubber (two of them almost new).

Mods include all the usual lower end stuff - front mount intercooler, boost controller, full 3 inch exhaust (turbo back) with a hi flow cat. Its not too loud (I'm old) but still sounds good on boost.

It's also got a Nismo 2 way diff and Jim Berry full monty clutch.

King springs with some aftermarket shockies - rides and handles pretty well.

The paint is pretty rough. Its lived outside for a fair chuck of its life in aussie - and at some point the horizontal surfaces were re sprayed with an acrylic. The roof it especially bad. The bonnet has been resprayed in rattle can black mat which was an upgrade from how bad it was, Not the greatest job. The body as reasonably straight with a few minor blemishes. So you could paint it, or get over it and just enjoy it the way I have been.

Its got 4 months rego still on it - however you'll need to get your own safety cert. It did pass one late last year (to get regoed up here) so there isn't anything "wrong" with it. Plates are not included - it'll just have stockers on pickup.

$5.5k obo. I think the price is pretty fair for a running, regoed GTS-T. Just needs some paint.

Please don't bother texting, or messaging me here. Real buyers make calls 0418 six six six 332. 56

      Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob

      Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!

      Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob
