2 months ago I purchased a newly imported 1993 R33 GTS25T. I looked at it and negotiated with the importer for about a month before I finally caved and bought it. I was amazed by it because aside from the wheels and the stereo, it is completely stock. It has some faded paint and a worn interior but other than that it looks like it just came from the factory. I already finished the interior and I'll have exterior done in the next 2 months as soon as I finally get all the dmv paperwork back. I couldn't have completed the work that I've done so far without this forum and look forward to continuing to using all the information gathered here.

Looks like a great unit.

I believe its a Type S.

For that fatter look you can get the Type M front bar, side skirts and rear pods for that more aggressive look.

The Type S always looks like the slimmed down version when you see them side by side.

Also there is a small duck tail wing that fits between the rear wing and the boot lid that looks pretty cool as well.

Stock you say? Never heard of it! lol

It looks like a good buy. I'm a big fan of that wing type you have. 
I am really enjoying seeing all the cars hit the US (even though there's less for us). It's cool to see so many people so passionate about these cars still! 

Hope to read more about your car in the future.

    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
    • Good news mate, plenty of spares available 5:40
