Hey all. Got my baby up for sale. It's a 95 model r33 gts-t series 1.5 94,***k's on the clock. I purchased the vehicle stock standard as the first registered owner in Australia. It recently was tuned for street use at a driveable 184.2rwkw. My mechanic told me with a upgraded ecu and electronic boost controller i could get over 200rwkw easily.

Within the last 3 months i've replaced all the drive belts, spark plugs with cold rating 7 double platinum plugs, fuel filter & timing belt with gates tripple strength. Oil and filter was changed before every 5,000ks with mobile super s. The whole car has been very well looked after. The interior is immaculate and the exterior is very straight with a great paint job on it. Engine was compression tested during the tune and had very good compression. Engine overall is running very strong.

Mods include:

Gtr front bar and grill

Commodore side blinker indicators in the front bar instead of the caravan indicators

Monkey Wearhouse fmic

K&N pod filter

JJR adjustable exhuast cam gear

Bosch 040 fuel pump

3" dump pipe with 3" titanium cat back exhuast

3" exhaust insert to replace the cat for dyno or track work. (vehicle has never been on track but was planning on at one stage)

Apexi B.O.V

Apexi turbo timer

Turbosmart t-piece boost controller.

18" Shadow chrome rims with 2 brand new tyres & two 80% tread

KYB shocks all round

Lowering springs all round

Clarion touch screen tv

Eclipse 6.5" splits

JBL 6 Channel amplifier

12" Jl w1 sub in a fibreglass box

Dash inserts painted silver

Trust shift knob

Boost & air/fuel ratio guages on fibreglass a pillar mount

blue neons in foot wells (all guages and neons fused)

Mongoose immobiliser

Parker bulbs, licence plate bulbs & headlight bulbs all replaced with whiter bulbs.

The exhuast gives the car a very distinct note. I've been with other skylines and i'd have to say i much prefure the sound of my car. The best way i can describe it over the net is, it sounds very down to business.

Can also throw in a set of stocko r33 rims with two good tyres and two shagged ones. Only downfall with the car is since the car got tuned and running right the clutch has a hard time keeping up with the new power. It wont slip when your driving it even if you give it a little but theres to much power to launch the vehicle of the starting line. your better off taking off easy and hitting peak power hard, either that throw in a high performance button clutch :O

Reason for selling is i've had my fun and now i want to put my money somewhere more responsible. Pics can be found here

No joy riders please will only let you drive once you have the money as a final decider of purchase.

I'm located south brissie. asking price $20,000

Cheers

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
