while looking for coolers i came across an R33 GTR and the dude that owns it says that he wants an R32 GTR and if would consider a swap, we can work it out. so what does everyone reckon? trade or not trade? i would imagine though that i have to pay a bit extra... but it shouldnt be much.

R33 mods - white, cat back exhaust, mines ecu, profec b boost cont., twin GT2530 turbos, rebuilt engine to std specs, volk 3 piece 18" racing rims. interior and exterior is clean as, except for some dust and cobwebs.

?????????????

yeah thats the prob meggala... i dont really wanna let go of my car coz its got a history and such...and apparently becoming more collectable (sorta)... and...... well im 50/50 at the moment...

thinking........ i guess the biggest drawcard for the 33 is the gt2530's.......

no they arent!! they arent a draw card... u have a pristine R32 GTR!! something that is no longer available for import under the new schemes are they??

thought 32s were no longer allowed in once the SEVS hits town... or is that just GTS/Ts?

regardless... its the original GODZILLA!!!!

lmao sif... u know the 32 GTR is faster stock for stock... so by spending a few grand on the same turbos as the 33 GTR and it will WHOOP ITS ASS!!

:)

PS. ULA if u want me to find out how much it will cost for those turbos to be sent from japan email me as im getting my FMIC sent over next week and he wanted to know if there was anything else i wanted put in at the same time.

PPS. could be some good news on the aftermarket parts front... he has built up a few contacts recently and is going to send me a list of all the parts that he can get his hands on... will keep all posted (its taken a while)

prices sounds good inark. although my current position prevents me from modding the car until about april/may.

as of now im prolly leaning more towards keeping the car as i'll eventually get the turbos that i want anyway. and i know what my cars been through and i know for sure that im gonna have to fork out and extra ~ $4000 - $5000 to do the swap. i reckon i get about the same performance for my car with that amount?!??!

newer car also sounds good though... eh......

when ppl offer to swap their cars i usually say that i will offer my colt for the swap, but my colt is stuck somewhere in the northern suburbs broken down and buggered :D

do what steve said and just upgrade the turbo's

    • 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 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
