hey guys

So its been about 2 months since I bought my first car which is an NA 1995 r33 gts coupe, So its about time I finally introduce myself. My name is Jonah and Im 17 from QLD. I recently got my P plates and purchased my first car which is an R33 GTS Coupe.

It looked a bit rough when I first bought it as the paint was disgusting and fading. The car is completely stock with a slow RB20E. Since owning the car I have fully repainted it the original colour and have also managed to get an RB25DET exemption for work but we will discuss that later on. Whilst it was getting painted I also had my mate who is a panel beater help me repair all of the dents in the car left from the previous owner.

The finished results are amazing as the cars exterior looks pretty much brand new. Now onto my future plans. I have recently acquired an exemption for an rb25det skyline with help from one of my mates. And because of that im in the process of purchasing the new engine to put into the car. I have my mate who is a mechanic coming up early February to help me do the swap as he has done it himself twice now on his own skyline and on another persons. One other modification I will look to be doing in the near future is an auto to Manuel swap which I will most likely do at the same time as I swap the engine. I look forward to being a member of this community and would love to hear your thoughts on the project.

 

Cheers, Jonah

Welcome!

Smart moving doing a full rb25det swap, rather than +t to the de, manual swap at the same time definitely makes sense.

Are you similarly going to be upgrading the brakes to turbo or better version as well? I assume this would be required for engineering anyway.

A lot of p platers will be interested to know more about this if you care to divulge more info.

    • Hey y'all, Looking local to USA, for just side skirts and rear bumper or half bumper. Pics for reference below: Top is east bear style rear bumper, bottom is uras style rear half bumper. Side skirts are interchangeable.  Thanks y'all!
    • Damn, as someone who just glued the damn things in (very slightly askew but better) I wish I saw this, or someone made this. Would be worth linking this to Boosted International. They're always looking for product ideas and this is something they would likely make.
    • You know what, I'll double or nothing. Save your money, buy a V8 Manual Mustang in 2 years and have a more fun street car with better support and all that. I often tell people "if I could do it all again, I wouldn't". Sell your R34 GTT to someone, spend the 20k in difference between that and a 2018 Gen2 V8 Manual Mustang. I'll bet you will have the $ in your pocket by the time you spend the ~20K differential on mods and get them installed. Just planting this seed for future regrets. Blah blah, wisdom of people who would do it differently who are at the end of the road you are just starting on, etc. Car modding is often death by a thousand cuts as you wait to afford the next big mod. Imagine a 2 door Skyline with a 330KW N/A V8 Revving to 7500rpm like the RB25, with 315's all round.
    • Yes I'm going through a similar thing with my R33 with rust in seams due to dried out seam sealer cracking. After much research I settled on Penetrol. Read what it does and its done a bloody fantastic job for me. Pressure pack comes with a thin tube to get into hard to reach places.
