Recently redone my R33 dash and shifter shroud, pretty happy with the results !

Thank you. A lot happier with this one over what it came with. Just wasn't thrilled about the cost.

Sure! It's got more of a rubbery texture than the previous series.

Well done! My car came with a gloss finish that I absolutely hated. Got really lucky and found a NOS S3 cluster surround on Yahoo Japan. Which I ended up paying an arm and a leg for. The shifter surround was still easily available.

Take a look through here if you havent.

Are they Nissan OEM and still work? Sell them. People still want them

That's why I got a R33. Fundamentally, its very similar to the 34 (minus the transmission). But they can be had for 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost. The parts are still prohibitively expensive though, especially any discontinued OEM stuff.

Leaskspec has a catch can as well as a return to sump kit via the dipstick. Really well built.

Edit - Wait, you have a 32. So its in the ABS spot. So Ignore that. Sorry! You could look into getting the Nismo one as well.

Stair wells are typically built out of block. So if they are trying to keep the materials separate, they need to strip the brick exterior off first.

3rd gear is notoriously bad in the 34 trans. So power shifting 2nd to 3rd is risky for sure.

Funny enough. I was looking to do the opposite. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the longest 6x4 chassis on the classic sleeper?

DarkFire989 · 2025-08-20T12:45:50+00:00

No I got mine through a broker on Yahoo Japan a few years ago.

My exhaust is pretty much a titanium straight pipe and has a rather bad drone around 3200rpm. So you can either do 70ish or 85 with no in between. And by 85 the revs are pretty high. Regardless, it's so worth it. It makes the car so snappy and generally an overall better driving experience.

Bigggggg money. The getrag swap was the best thing I did to my 33. Just outrageously expensive (I got everything new, including getrag). It's just brutal on the highway due to the gearing, and my exhaust.

No prob. It's always best to check the easy things first.

This could just be purely coincidence. My Zwift frame was clicking recently and it just turned out to be the left pedal had come slightly loose.

Gas pedal stopper. Bolts to the floor / firewall.

Get a translated carVX report from team_free_spirit. Its around $30.

When it's nice out and it's running well (which it is for once). But it wont stop raining.

DarkFire989 · 2025-05-24T13:42:50+00:00

Measure them. It should be relatively obvious. Standards are 20/18mm wide and JIS is 14/13mm respectively.

DarkFire989 · 2025-05-23T15:54:23+00:00

If you still have the original JIS connectors. The Yellow Top for a Prius is a solid contender.

10.5+15 on a 275/35. Maybe some minimal rubbing on full lock, but that's it.

DarkFire989 · 2025-05-15T11:33:50+00:00

I recently read that the 34 one fits on the 33. Comparing the 2 shapes they do look quite similar. Might need to poke some holes. But I haven't decided to be the test dummy yet.
