G'day feller's, I finally got my R33 last night...havent taken any pics of it yet, so ill post the ones that were on carsales...:)

Whats the specs on that R33? It looks to be a series 1... but series 2 headlights?

Why fellas, here's my beast... nicknamed Nissie Nismo , making 265 kW's at the wheels and haven't lost a battle yet.

yeah 265kw are u sure, i fitted the cooler in that car, but i've left now cos they like to take everyones cash and use second hand shit and charge it out new way overpricing ppl and then dont pay the staff, cos they are f**kheads who rip your arse, i suggest you remove the sticker of the rear window to save yourself from embarrasment, that lil orange brothel of a workshop on mcintyre rd is a disease and should be burnt to the ground, they are scum and should be shut down, only place on mcintyre rd thats decent is james at O.H, don't go nextdoor to the muppets, notice how it's always the same cars at the front just rearranged, it's cos noone can afford the bill, you were charged a thousand bucks to supply and fit that cooler yeah?, it took me 2.5 hours to fit it and it came from gkteck, so the kit was $450, so u got charged $550 bucks labour to fit a cooler thats $220 bucks and hour bro, dammmnnn. just a warning to anyone who is going over that way, don't get sucked in, with the likes of an x force exhaust system fitted for like $1600 cos they say they are epa approved, well they arent, so once again, rip that damn sticker of it makes me feel ill.

that's a really nice/unique colour you got there

though the twin colour scheme looks weird without the front bar

Yeah the two tone has a real nice funky look to it... just needs a s2 or gtr spoiler, standard s2 type m rear pods and sideskirts and s2 front bar with a lip of some sort on it... with that colour scheme :(

Some new pics I took today, sporting new plates :D

the following pics were taken on the weekend on GODZLR's VERY FIRST driver training day on Saturday. A great day it was, and can't wait to get out there again and learn more about how the car handles etc.

7k launches on a slipping twin plate..why not?

it still smoked all 4s though :S

Notice something unusual......

As some may have noticed in one photo, my happy snap camera was attached to my rear numberplate just to see how it went. I tried the front and back plates, and passenger window using my Ixus 65 camera on a Manfrotto window mount (not suction cup)

The videos taken can be viewed here:

Mate, nice car bro.... glad you're enjoying it... just 2 suggestions though... 1) get rid of the towbar as it looks out of place on a Sports car - it's Godzilla not a station wagon.... 2) dump the car down a bit as it looks a bit high...

and oh, I must ask - the front bar doesn't look original genuine GT-R... is this right?

However, no doubt it is a GT-R of course.

dude, what % are those tints. they look good. any trouble seeing out of them at night?

I think they're 15%, I got mine 15% as well with 30 or 35% for the front

it's not as dark looking out from the inside as it looks from the outside

but you'll need those LED ceiling lights that 666DAN is selling

that is if you want to find something in the cabin at night

1) As someone mentioned, it was the happy snap camera attached to the number plate

2) I was waiting for someone to say that.

The car came lowered (on Cusco coilovers), however the dump pipes were like 2 inches off the ground. I use the car for work purposes (when I get the opportunity) and travel through some country areas where pot holes / big deep ditches can be found.

I raised the car to get over the pits first, however after using it at its current raised height for the past few weeks I absolutely love it!! It's not crashing over anything and I don't have to drive on a 45degree angle in car parks or to get up steep driveways. I plan to paint and repair the front lip (couple joins broken), so the raised height will also come in handy in keeping that in good condition.

Sure lowered looks hot, but meh I'm over the whole looks thing. My mum says it sounds like a truck, and now I can say it looks like one too :)

3) The front bar is genuine GT-R, and yes you are correct its a GTR (V-Spec) as well lol. Everything exterior wise is original, except for the Nismo bonnet lip & smoked lenses.

MattyP: Love the car, and the action shots.

But in the still shots, the background is far to busy for my liking (esp. the deli shots). It hides the car too much as the background is such a mix of colours, your car just shaddows in contrast to them.

A nice plain light colourd background would make car stand out :)

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
