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.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
