Yeh ill be moving on soon aswell,

Such a hard predicament owning a 33 GTST.. :wassup:

Dont really wanna go back and get a 32GTR, But dont really want a 33GTR because the looks/interior etc are pretty much the same, dont have the money for a 34gtr and 34gtt has same performance anyway.

Kinda makes a late model 6sp RZ supra look nice

But then, ide still choose a late model 33gtr over that

ahhh!

mite wait for the next godzilla or evo9, then u get it brand new ;)

I was actually just kidding about "wanting" a skyline or Sil ute...I've never understood utes honestly, I mean if you need one to carry stuff in ok...but station wagons would do the same job anyway...and half the utes these days the owners would have a coronary if you put a toolbox in the back and scratched the paint.

Can someone who gets excited about utes explain it to me? Isn't it just a crutch to reinforce the outward image of heterosexuality for those who are confused deep-down inside? :D

I used to have a commodore ute, so I'll explain exactly what the appeal is. Basically, the large majority of the weight is in the front half, and pretty much any ute should be RWD, hence losing the rear end is as easy as putting the foot down, and a slight turn of the wheel :D Also, having 10 people sitting in the tray while you do donuts is cool, well, ppl always used to enjoy it in the back of mine :D

well a station wagon might be able to carry just as much as a ute in mass but not in weight why do you think utes use leaf springs so they can carry more weightand also its the ease of being able to grab anything when you want to.

But i also think there are alot of people who dont use there utes for carrying shit which is fine cause maybe they just like the look, i actually use mine for tool boxes and loads of shit.

That last comment is just stupid did you ever think that people just like the look of utes and also might just need them for work, just cause you dont like them there are alot of people out there that do

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.

      I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
