Yo, a few things to help you out: - It's a series 2 engine. You can tell by the fact it has 2 connectors on the throttle body instead of 1 and there's no igniter for the coil packs. - You're missing a bolt off your J-pipe coming straight off the turbo. You no doubt have a boost leak there, which may be causing you to run rich, which could explain the flame/s and rough sound. - A common leak, near where you pointed at the rear of the engine, is the crossover hard-line that feeds coolant to the turbo. Check that, it's a common area for a leak. - The hoses you pointed to that you thought were for your A/C are actually for your carbon canister (that is missing), you'll need to replace that. - It looks like you have something connected in line with the hose vacuum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator (towards the front of the engine, drivers side, end of the fuel rail). I'm not sure what that is but having anything connected to the FPR line is a bad idea, you should likely remove it. - You mentioned connecting the hoses off your two rocker covers. Do make sure you add a catch can at least so they can vent, or, even better, connect them back to the pipe that feeds air to the turbo, as that's where they should run (they're supposed to have vacuum) - The cable/plug that's just chillin near your air filter is for the stock boost solenoid (that looks like its missing). I don''t believe there's any harm with that given you run aftermarket boost control. - Your turbo is a standard 21U that comes with that engine. Hope this helps.

Didn't series 2 start in 1996? This one is a 1995

TaffPlays I said the engine is Series 2 and it definitely is. If the car is indeed a series 1 which might be the case it’s had an engine swap.

the water leak could be the heater valve bit on the fire wall, ive had a few crack the brittle plastic. replace with new or just put a brass barbed fitting to delete. But also had the turbo feed (which is what your talking about) leak on a RB20 also, again a barbed T piece worked here. if your doing all of this might be worth while replacing all the coolant hoses and oil filter heat exchange Oil seal. its anoying to do so enjoy. Apart from these thoughts this guy is on the money.

Sick car Zac can’t wait to see vid of you fixing it up
Always had a soft spot for the r33 i think the front end has a good aggressive look to it and theres heaps you can do to make it have a great stance to em, coil overs etc.. good vid mate! 👍😎
It's a Series 1 car, but its been swapped with Series 2 parts. The lights, hood and the interior (seats, door cards, etc) is all Series 1. The front bar, rear bar, skirts and rear boot lid (spoiler and the lock mechanism) are Series 2. Looks like a Series 2 engine as well. The Series "1.5" with the series 2 body came out in mid 1996, and full series 2 late 1996. I've had a few R33's and whining gearbox is **not** normal. The advice sounds spot on from listening to it, sounds like its low on fluid. I'd really drain it and replace the fluid asap to reduce the wear on it. From the sound of your idle, you might need to also check the IAC valve and make sure its clean, and check the BOV gasket/spring.

$3000 Wow.. And now for this condition and a manual they usually go for $18,000+ even if it has a few problems 💀 One of the best skyline finds I have seen for its price!!
It's sounding, running and drive much nicer now. Can't believe how quick it all took!
used to have an r33 gtst 96 model. Damn I love those cars! wish I have have kept it lol, who'd have known the value would sky rocket. Have to admit, they're bloody slow stock standard.
Woohoo so happy to see the new project! So much content can be made with this car 😁😁
I live in maryborough and I'm gonna miss seeing this thing cruise through town, good buy though!

Full detail? I look forward to seeing what you get out of it after you start by removing all the seats and floor carpet. Hell, I found a bit of factory foam still stuck in one of the under passenger seat vents in my car that pre-delivery missed back in 2003. lol. After that a good start is to change every single fluid.
auto license xD
s2 converted for sure s2 started in 96 as well as the s1 seats and s1 rear garnish also S1 RB25DET use an external ignitor rather connectors on the left hand side will be from the factory boost solenoid which has been deleted for the boost t
Soon as i saw that power/snow button 🤣🤣 gald you know its been swapped tho
This is going to be a really clean r33, I can tell 😍
You’ll want to do a Hicas delete bro! Look into it
Series 1.5 by the looks. It has a series 2 front bumper. Also you have a bolt missing from turbo out let pipe.
Yessssss, bring on the mods, keen for more videos
Rims, sound and good fitment will be mint
Hey can someone let me know where to buy some of these cars at a decent price in australia
Does it have a turbo?
Best way to learn, Everything I know is from working on my skyline.. because they break alot lol
have fun rebuilding since its got low comp lol, shouldve waited for somethimg better tbh and maybe even a newer model 96-97 well good luck :)
Does anyone know where to buy a cheap Skyline in Melb??
The cars s1, see the seats they’re the first model seats, I’ve got the same model but she ain’t stock anymore, 350hp and full gtr spec, good luck with the car it’ll be a very big love hate relationship I can tell you that
Could be head gasket mine needs replacing and all cylinders read around 120psi
If the car doesn't exhibit any other signs of headgasket failure (water/oil mixing, running hot etc) than it more likely issues with valves sealing. Dont listen to people who tell you the pistons are trash, generally its people winding boost in on stock ECU and stock turbo. Japan had far better quality fuel in general in the 90's. The stock tunes on these ECU's generally are for better fuel to start with, then when people start pumping boost in from the stock t28 cause big IAT's they detonate like crap and crack ringlands. If the tune is good the pistons will be fine. My opinion from what you have said in this vid is valves. Do a leakdown test and you will know for sure. Good price though! very jealous!
Pull the head off. Have it machined flat, valves seats redone and fit a tripple layer metal headgasket and arp head studs. Then do the gates timing belt and a water pump and new thermostat. Front facing plenumn and spit fire coils. Then a 3 inch dump pipe, 100 cell cat, resonator and straight through muffler. Will sound good and be reliable.
I love that you watch CKJ aswell!
Is it tuned for 2step
How much?
Pretty clean cheap r33 zak, big 👍👍
I have that same sparco gear knob on my Ford Probe GT!
U live in north lakes so do I should meet up with me subi sti swapped twin turbo
You need to get your block resleeved which means the engine is blown so it will need to go through a machine or a replacement
easiest way to tell if its a series 2 or not is the series 2 has a passenger airbag and the series 1 does not. the 95 model is a funny year as some series 1s came with series 2 parts. i own a series 1 skyline that came factory with a series 2 engine which is considered the series 1.5
Hey man well done on the find. Hope it goes well but look up yashio factory gear knobs with a nismo or cube short shifter. Does look epic
doing regular oil changes and actually looking after your car is what help the longevity, Also RB engines need to breath so 100% on a proper catch can setup.

Where do you work Zac
Zac, you wanna go a 100 cell cat, put a hotdog resonator in the mid pipe, and then go with a phat rear cannon like a hks hi power or something. Then you'll get your sound.
Skylines are what made me fall in love with cars.. I just hope you’re not in over your head. On a side note: Turbo Barra swapping an R33 would possibly be the coolest thing anyone could build on KZread. Plus keeping it relevant to most of your core subscribers. Just a thought.

Be sure to remember it's a drift car! They're bound to eventually getting damaged when pulling skids or tandem among narrow courses. I recommend not throwing a heap of cash, as bumpers and parts do come and go by the bucket load. **only writing this comment because I made the mistake of kitting out my 240sx that got totalled in a tandem :/
3k! Jealous. Nah good stuff man, keen to see the progress 🙃
