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

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?

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
