I recently swapped my 200sx S14a for an R33 GTST so here it is...
Pics...
Spec... (copied from previous owners advert and edited a bit by me, missing bits like what ECU/map/chip it has and also he said something about a Nismo diff but I can't remember!)
Exterior
- Jun bodykit
- GTR spoiler
- 17" Kosei Evo Maxi wheels
- Matt black bonnet
- Rust proofed underside
- HIDs
- Tinted rear windows
Interior
- Sparco gearknob

Brakes
- Front 4 pot GTR brembos with drilled/grooved discs (big ones but not sure on size)
- Braided lines
- Red stuff pads all round
- Dot 5.1 fluid
- Rears I'm not sure about (to me they look like Z32 but I've never seen standard rear brakes on an R33 before so don't know what they are/look like and I haven't bothered searching)
Engine etc
- Garrett GT30 turbo internals fitted into standard housing
- Braided turbo lines
- Spit Fire coil packs (should that be Splitfire?)
- Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust
- Downpipe and decat
- Blitz super sonic induction kit
- 255lph Walbro fuel pump
- Front facing plenum (looks like someone modified and cleaned up a standard one?)
- Bailey BOV
- Custome made baffled sump
Issues found so far...
- It cuts out sometimes when either stopping at junctions/traffic lights or when 'coasting round' a corner (which thankfully doesn't ever seem to faze me but I reckon could be very bad for some, losing power steering etc whilst turning a corner).
- I didn't like the deep dish steering wheel it had originally so had the pictured one fitted, it sits almost right on the control stalks so needs spacing or a bigger boss fitted.
- I don't like the front bumper but can't figure out what bumper I should have fitted.
- I don't like the hole in the bonnet so am getting a bonnet without a hole in it (even the birds don't like it, they tried to shit in it but just missed!) and then having it sprayed blue like the rest of the car
- Original bonnet catch/mounting bar and cable have been removed so either need to fit catches to new bonnet or get a catch/bar etc.
- Aircon has been removed and just in the last few days am realising how much I rely on aircon to remove some of the pollen from the air!
- Dash insert bit is horrible in blue! Needs changing back to standard
- Leaking oil from rocker cover (prev owner changed this, maybe didn't change the semi circle/crescent bits as well?), front & rear crank seals and seeping through the sump (I presume where the welding was done to make it into a baffled sump)
- Car is so low I can't get in/out of my driveway without at best scraping the front bumper, at work it hits the beginning of the driveway quite badly (or the road surface)
- Coilovers on the front won't adjust hardness, little knob thing just keeps turning forever
Work done so far... (admittedly mostly by a mate as I couldn't spare the time)
- Fitted lockable aerocatches to the bonnet (it had cheapo non-lockable ring pull type catches before and with no standard bonnet catch meant it could be opened by anyone who fancied it)
- Changed oil/filters
- Cleaned idle control valve (to try and stop the cutting out)
- Fitted an ISO connector to end of stereo wiring (it was a butchered mess before) and fitted stereo
- Fitted japspeed decat silencer to exhaust
- Changed steering wheel
- Removed bonnet spacers as in my opinion a bonnet raised at the back just looks silly and ruins the look of the car
- Removed loads of stickers (still some to go as you can see in pics!)
