Thanks heaps guys, if only I had the money.

I was talking to somone in an Import shop (not giving away names) and they told me that the Autech R33 sedan was not able to be complied in Australia because controlled crashes have not been performed on them. Is this true???

HPI had a story on a black skyline 4 door that had a gtr conversion - this is probably the same. Still, if someone is keen, they should check it out - if its done properly it might still run well.

I'm pretty sure it was in speed magazine, not hpi though i could be wrong.. Pretty sure its the one out of the mag..

Its not real, thats the one Ernest Parry built a few years ago and yes it was in HPI. Its still missing the few touches that make a R33 GTR sedan different - ie series 3 xenon lights, interior etc. A propper Autech R33 4 door goes for much more than what he's asking.

there is a ture one up at mooloolabah I have seen it parked there a couple of times but never find the owner :D

is this what u are talking about.....

there is a proper impul version up here yes, had the plates 25.MAT on it, been for sale for ages, but its not a GTR its only a 4 door impul version. with a few tasteful mods.

he has been a member on this site ages ago but havent seen him around for a while.

now doesnt have the plates, only has standard ones on it, i see it most days going to work.

Ok he just got back to me. It has been made from an R33 V-spec GTR with Autech parts, flared rear quarters and door. Made by Skyline Imports QLD.

VIN is 6U9000ENR33005578

Booya,h yeah I was 99.9% sure it was his old one, used to see it a fair bit so knew the trim/wheels.

    • I'm with Kinkstaah on this one. Do it once, do it right. So much better for your mental health. The sneaky thing about the fuel pump wiring is that it will work perfectly fine for the longest time. Until that one moment when it decides to shit the bed. And it's not worth the paranoia from not trusting the car anymore. At least other mechanical issues announce themselves by developing some noise or other warning. If you have the funds, I'd suggest to go with a good kit like Frenchys and get the work done by a trustworthy shop. No regrets there. The only downside to the Frenchys kit on the Stagea/R32 GTR is that their fuel level sender is not on point. But looks like the R33 kit maintains the factory sender so should not be an issue. This is what the botched setup on my Stagea looked like before it stopped working. It had melted its way quite a distance down. Glad it didn't burn down the car.   Some links I came across when I looked for solutions: Radium sells a DIY wiring kit that looks promising. I didn't buy it though, I let my workshop decide on wiring. https://www.prospeedracing.com.au/products/radium-diy-fuel-pump-hard-wiring-kit-17-0031 https://www.radiumauto.com/DIY-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Kit-P368.aspx   You can also get cheap replacements for the locking ring depending on how mangled it looks: https://www.kudosmotorsports.com/Nissan-17343-79900-Fuel-Tank-Outlet-Locking-Ring-for-Nissan-S14-S15-BNR32-R33-R34-AWC34 There are tools for unscrewing it as well so you don't have to abuse it with a screwdriver and mallet. The Frenchys one is expensive but I'm sure there are cheaper ones.
    • Hopefully not shockproof. It does crappy things to good synchros.
    • Mark, please add to your shopping list a cask of wine.       For when the Hills Hoist is installed...
