Nearly finished the R33 series II sedan project, wondering what the general feelings on the car are, being something a little different from the usual 33 coupes getting around. Specs are:-

96 GTST Type M Sedan

King Springs

Bilstein Shocks

DBA 4000 series slotted rotors front and rear

Cusco Caster Rods, Front strut brace

Custom Oil Catch Can

Stock GTR exhaust

R33 GTR Rims

Apexi TT

Pretty stock, but this car is really growing on me, I like the shape. Just gotta fit the stereo and give it a bit of tint.

It was never meant to be anything wild. Just something nice to drive around as the GTR can be a bit much to drive full time.

Nah, not really. Just some camber correction at the rear, tunes, tint. Might do the exhaust later but the stock one off the GTR doesn't sound too bad and gave it a bit more go. Might do a bigger radiator and oil cooler, bit paranoid about the heat up here and I like to take the cars on the track every now and then.

Nice ive got a SII R33 Sedan, found any nice body kits? Im thinking of keeping mine fairly stock, no major mods apart from upgraded clutch and 3in straight through muffler? I see you have the coupe indicator assembly as well, do you have the fog lights hooked up? BTW where did you get the clear side indicators? Keep up the good work, the SII sedans are sweet and yours is real nice

I see you have the coupe indicator assembly as well, do you have the fog lights hooked up? BTW where did you get the clear side indicators?

Yeah, I lost the original indicator assembly during compliance, apparently they are not ADR compliant???? The fog lights are all hooked up, and I took the clear side indicators off the coupe before I sold it, amongst other things. I think I originally got them off UAS??

Do the GTR wheels fit OK on the front, what size tires do you have on their.

Thanks

They fit ok, really fill the guards out though as you can see from the pics. The fronts do rub a little at the front though on the inside on full lock. Tyres are standard GTR size at the moment, 245/45 R17. I have another set of 17x8 rims at home I will fit when these tyres are done, just want to use these tyres up, didn't want them in the first place but had to for compliance of the GTR :P .

Love it!

Best 4 door ive seen, ide love to do something similar to this in the future.

Have the GTR for yourself and the weekends, and the 4door for the nice get around family car :)

Who did you import the 4door through again jason?

    • This has been covered a bazillion times but google wet boiling point vs dry. Motul is only good when it's fresh, once it absorbs moisture it gets pretty average very quickly. So as above, make sure you change it if you're going racing. I run the Endless brake fluid in mind, but only because a mate is a distributor and it's cheap. It's not quite as good as SRF but I'm running 380mm rotors on a Skyline so it's not like they get hot.
    • That's the thing, they still add it and it makes fuel cheaper, implying adding 10% of it drops the cost of 91 by what, 5c a liter? I remember when it was barely half the price of 98. Because you know, 85% of what is in the fuel is way cheaper than 91 fuel is by volume.
    • Auto electricians that do repairs on automotive AC systems can source service kits. I don't know where they actually source them. I do know that there is one available for the R34 comp that I would need it for. If you have to pay someone to dismantle, clean and do needed repairs and fit kit contents, then you'd probably end up spending a good fraction of the cost of a new one. I would not be paying for that, because I would be doing it myself. My mechanic (bro-in-law) will happily source what is needed. Back in the day (like in the 80s and 90s), rebuilding an AC compressor was the standard approach, same as for starter motors, alternators, etc, because new replacements were v. expensive. After the China manufacturing boom and the rise of the disposable approach to everything, people just started throwing broken/worn stuff away and not rebuilding things.
    • Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.
    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
