Hi everyone, I'm a new owner of an r33 gtst 40th anniversary edition. 

 

I was recently cleaning the boot and spare wheel well and discovered a leak. I imported the car from japan 5months ago and there are signs of repair to rust and leaks in the spare wheel. I have searched forums and people keep pointing to the boot seals or rear light seals. Iv checked these and they seem good. I have attached pics so any help would be grateful. Thanks 20190928_181137.thumb.jpg.f224d92e9c3251f0186417ef217c160b.jpg

How's the taillights? It's the first thing I'd look for leaks followed by the panel where rear 1/4 meets the boot, mine leaked there on both sides and panel beaters has sealed these and now my LHS taillight leak. 

The joys of R33... 

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have checked the rear 1/4 where it meets the boot on both sides it looks like someone has already put sealant on it and painted it. I will need to check the rear lights again and I think best way is to climb in boot and have a friend jet wash the boot from outside to see where its coming in from ???

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
