  1. A 32 would be more problems lol, and I wouldn't want to own one. Honestly I'd be crazy to go another Skyline - going backwards to a 32 is just that: backwards; A 33 GT-R will still end up costing me more money which is why I'm tired of this car and want to sell it; and a 34 is way out of my budget.
  2. If someone wants to offer me a much tidier vehicle like a 33 GT-R (with minor cash adjustment their way) then yeah, otherwise I'd be dreaming to go for another car in swaps...not to mention insane to spend more money when the idea of me selling this one is so I STOP spending money lol
  3. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/417408-eoifor-sale-midnight-purple-r33-gts-t-s1-with-factory-sunroof-295rwkw/ Yew.
  4. As the title states. R33 GTS-T series 1, midnight purple. 173,000km. FACTORY SUNROOF!! Previous owner suspected engine had been rebuilt at some stage, compression test results back this theory up fairly well - 148-155psi across all cylinders. The car is FULL ENGINEERED by Canberra Motor Works (Ray Spence) for ALL MODIFICATIONS (except for exhaust volume and atmospheric BOV, duh). All work carried out by either myself, Canberra Motor Works, Autotech, or ESP. I have receipts and records for just about every purchase and bit of work done on this car. Car always serviced with high quality oils (Motul 8100 engine oil, Penrite Syn75 gear oil) Major engine mods and tuning done by ESP, have dyno sheets to show 295rwkw @16psi. Modifications/non-standard parts (off the top of my head): Body: 400R Fibreglass copy front bar (left corner decently damaged from gutter, though repairable) Genuine GT-R adjustable rear spoiler Side skirts of some description... Rear pods of some description... HID headlights Interior: FRONT AND REAR GT-R SEATS, IMMACULATE CONDITION!! Autotechnica deep-dish steering wheel Short shifter with NISMO gear knob Dash mounted gauges (Oil temp, boost, water temp) Aftermarket clutch/brake/throttle pedals Sony CD headunit Front and rear speakers are aftermarket items of some kind. 12" Clarion sub in box, running of a Pioneer amp of some kind. Wheels/braking/suspension: R33 GT-R 17x9" +30 forged alloy wheels with Bridgestone Adrenaline RE-001 tyres, plenty of tread. ISC N1 fully adjustable coilovers Front camber kit (adjustable bush) Rear upper adjustable camber arms Rear adjustable traction rods HICAS lock bar Front and rear near-new DBA4000 slotted rotors Front and rear HEL braided brake lines Near-new QFM pads up front, will also come with QFM pads for the rear I have front and rear Whiteline 27mm adjustable swaybars with upgraded end links that haven't been fitted yet, will come with car for the right price (cost $735 from memory) Engine/drivetrain: ViPEC v44 plug n play ECU running on MAP sensor, controlling stock boost solenoid. Hypergear ATR43G3 turbocharger w/ beanie and 3" metal intake pipe. Nismo 740cc side-feed injectors Splitfire coilpacks with brand new plugs FMIC (sprayed black) Trust foam mushroom type pod filter in fibreglass cold air box 3" turbo back exhaust to 4" cannon Custom made oil catch can venting back into intake (legal) Exceedy HD organic clutch with upgraded pressure plate (never launched as long as I've owned it) Bosch 044 fuel pump Greddy type RS atmospheric BOV. THE BAD: Gearbox is a bit notchy, though I'm sure this is just the oil as it's fine once it's warmed up. Changing to Redline Shockproof will make a world of difference. Rims have plenty of gutter rash, though not horrifically bad. Just aesthetic really. Taco occasionally plays up and points straight down. This has no bearing whatsoever on the car's operation. The paint, particularly on the roof, is quite faded. As proven by my housemate, all it needs is a cut n polish. Aircon is completely out of gas, coz I never used it lol. Scratches here and there all over the place. This car isn't the best example of a clean and tidy R33, I can assure you of that. However mechanically this car has had a lot of money spent on it and goes bloody well (now that I've ironed various issues out). It would make a bloody awesome street weapon if some cash was spent on the looks, or fantastic weekend track car as it is now. I actually really wish I could afford taking it to the track and giving it a real run to see its potential, however I just can't afford another hobby right now lol I absolutely love driving this car most of the time, except for when silly shit happens like damaging the bumper or the unfortunate misfire issue I finally just resolved. In the cooler weather this thing still scares the shit out of me, and it's not even tuned to its true potential!! I'm not gonna lie and say it hasn't been thrashed - coz I enjoy driving it for what it's built for. I WILL assure you that I have never mistreated this car, so even while thrashing it I'm always mindful of not limiter bashing, watching all the temp/pressure gauges, and letting it cool down appropriately. The turbo is good for at least another 4psi, and everything else is there to support a tune on e85. You should see a happy 330rwkw easily! I just can't justify spending any more money on this thing, especially if it's only for aesthetic stuff...it owes me somewhere around $40,000 including purchase price. CHASING $14,000 ono!!! Will consider swaps for the right dirt bike with cash adjustments. RWC will not be provided, however all engineer's certification documents obviously will be - so all you need to do in order to pass Dickson is put a legal muffler on it (quoted $250 by Powertune in Fyshwick to have one fabricated) and remove and block the BOV outlet. I am however happy to sell it with however much rego you want to pay for to give you plenty of time to do this, however you should have no issues passing Dickson after the above since I've already gone through that whole shitstorm lol I know there are cheaper R33s around, believe me I've looked! However the ONLY shit they have on this car is that they have straighter bodies. None of them will have a list of mods and money spent on them as comprehensive as this one does, unless there's either something seriously wrong with the car or the owner is in a really bad financial situation. PM me, or SMS on 0431391359. If there is actually any serious interest in this car, I will go to the effort of getting some good pictures as soon as I can. Please don't tell me I'm dreaming or throw negative comments in this thread. If you disagree with anything here, just let the thread die. To me, this car is worth well more than what I'm asking - I expect it will be to the smart buyer too. Questions are more than welcome.
  5. Pics/thread/details like location? lol
  6. Nah thanks Shell just entirely not keen at all
  7. R33 GTS-T series 1 front bumper. PLASTIC. Don't care what colour it is, or what condition the PAINT is in. I just want a straight plastic bumper to suit a series 1.
  8. As title, looking to buy a PLASTIC front bumper to suit R33 GTS-T series 1. I don't care what colour it is, and I don't really care what condition the paint is in (within reason). No physically damaged bumpers please.
  9. Now that I've gone and mangled my front bumper, I have very little interest in driving the car...so I'll almost certainly not be out. Also can't stand driving the thing in warm weather, the MASSIVE drop in power really makes me hate driving it.
  10. Also NEVER going a fibreglass bar ever again. WTB plastic front bumper to suit series 1 R33 GTS-T What the f**k is the difference between S1 and S2 bars? And will a GT-R bar fit?
  11. Thanks man, but like I said earlier - I'm not painting. Ever. Enough bad experiences with paintwork to conclude it's a terrible solution. I'll sooner sticker-bomb the f**k out of it than paint it. And I'll sooner douse it in petrol and burn it than that.
  12. PRIME EXAMPLE AS TO WHY I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH EVER FIXING THE BODYWORK OF MY CAR: Just f**king ruined the front bumper on a gutter trying to turn around in a street near my work coz of some impatient flamin mongrel in a van. Completely forgot how f**king atrocious the turning circle in the skyline is... The damage is significantly worse than the pictures make it appear.
  13. Since the shitheap is up and running again, I'll give it some thought....depends on gym and possibly poker however.
  14. Just got myself a PS3 and Black Ops 2 last week...I'm still really shit with FPS games using a controller as opposed to the mouse I'm used to, but it's still great fun. Add me on PSN: Trozzle (lol yeah original huh?)
  15. Yes and no. Bar doesn't have much movement in it at all however it took damage when I aquaplaned across a lane and up onto a median strip still, had continued to get worse since then....either way, I have 0 interest in going down the route of using paint again unless I found a cheap PLASTIC bar.
  16. It's aftermarket fibreglass. Had it painted recently. Looked like ass within a month. Bar flexes and the paint cracks and flakes.
  17. I know have been considering having it vinyl wrapped in a slightly lighter matte purple though, considering the cracked/flaking condition of the paint on the front bar.
  18. f**k yeah that's gold Charlie!
  19. I'm not sure you actually realise just HOW BAD the paintwork on it is lol, I honestly don't consider it worth any kind of attention whatsoever. I've long given up caring how the car looks, and now only care how it runs. However if it won't require a wax more than once a month, then I'm happy to give it that attention. hahaha yeah I reckon! I left them there (in order if cyl.1 - 6 from edge of table) to get your opinion lol....concerning though, looks like the coilpacks weren't properly sealing against the head and water was getting in there. They weren't hard to remove, but f**k there was some serious rust/oxidisation going on. When I pulled cyl.1 out the thread was wet with oil/fuel residue and my god it stunk. The rest were pretty shithouse too. So much for Glenn's advice of "those plugs are expensive, don't replace them until it stops running properly" LOL Now it seems my alternator belt is on its way out. Stupid thing is squeaking ever so quietly while engine is idling, and the belt itself feels a bit average. Le sigh.
  20. But I'm right handed....? lol nah, since the car is outside 100% of the time, I'm leaving the little bit that Richard tested out for a few weeks to see how long it lasts when completely exposed to the elements. Just to get an idea of whether I think it's worth doing the whole car or not, since I'll know how frequently it needs to be waxed.
  21. WOOHOO!! She f**king runs again! Roars like the beast it is once more! Finally...
  22. Not game to take it out, coz if it's still f**ked I'll run it into a tree.
  23. I'm interested in buying the Evo, test drive? (not really, just wanna drive it LOL)
  24. Finally changed the plugs lol, WAY too much f**king around for something so bloody simple. Plugs should be the easiest part to service on a f**king engine! lol
  25. You're only 19?! Farken. Now I feel old (even though most ppl here are still older than me lol)
