Due to a change of financial circumstances I now need to sell my car fairly soon, I have droppped the price by $3,000 from what it was. I am not going to give the car away so the price of $26,000 is firm. It hurts to sell it at this price but unfortunatly I need the money. Please don't offer any less than this because I would rather be in debt than sell it for any cheaper. My loss will be your gain. I have just spent over $2,000 getting it to run nicely and it will be a great shame to see it go. It will be going in the Trading Post next week so I think it will definatly sell. If your in the market for one don't miss out on the best opportunity you will get.

It is a 1995 R33 GTR with 97,000kms on the clock. It has just had a major service and inspection done which cost me $1400 (with receipts). Everything was replaced including all belts (Earls racing timing belt) and water pump. Platinum tipped spark plugs and Motul Turbolight synthetic oil were used. Overall the car is in very good condition and other than 2 dents in the bonnet nothing needs to be spent. The extras are as follows:-

* 3" turbo back exhaust (Mandrel Bent and Tig welded)

* 2 brand new K&N pod filters

* OS Giken adjustable cam gears

* Greddy turbo timer

* twin plate clutch

* Alpine CD/MP3 player with remote worth $700

* Quictrac alarm worth $1000 with 12 month tracing paid for

* Genuine NISMO clear side indicators

* Genuine factory GTR carpet mats front + rear

* Autometer boost gauge

The car has recently being dyno tuned at Croydon Racing Developments with a result of 216KW ATW on just 13.5psi. The car was tuned for drivability rather than outright power. The turbos come on boost nice and early and the car has a fat torque band. Drives much better than a standard car. This is the best value R33 GTR in Sydney. So if your in the market for one don't miss out. PICS ADDED, BOTTOM OF PAGE

Thanks,

Omar

I would presume it is at 4 wheels but I'm not 100% sure, I did not do a compression test from the service. The engine is very healthy I presume or it wouldn't have spun 216KW ATW with such minor mods.

I took out the boost restrictor to achieve the boost levels which as you probably know is a very safe and economical way to up the boost a little. On the dyno graph it shows a very consistant boost level at about 13.5 psi. I usually keep the restrictor in though which keeps boost down to about 8psi

Yes I would consider a Gti-R, thats what I had before the GTR. Can you please PM me some info and pics on your car and roughly what sort of cash adjustment you were thinking.

Thanks,

Omar

Would you consider a very clean GTIR? Cash on top of course. :dry:

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
