Just thought I'd make a quick post about my new baby, been talking about it on here but haven't posted pics. These aren't great, will get some nice sunshine ones soon but this gives you an idea.

Allow me to introduce my 1996 Series II R33 GTR V-Spec in Midnight Purple!

It's got various mods but the specifics will remain undisclosed as I'm not into blurting it all out on a public forum. I've come from a Series II GTS25T with a Turbo back exhaust to this so it's a fair step up. Only had the last one, some of you may remember it - Bright Red with Deep Dish Impuls, for a bit over a year but this was up for sale and I couldn't say no.

Hope you all like!

I was told that you could option them on Series II, they're genuine Nissan items is all I can tell you and they look sexy ^_^

Are they straight bolt on? I guess the S2 R33 bonnet is different shape to that of a GTR hence why you cant fit projectors onto R33 S2. I think S3 and S1 and S2 bonnet shape is identical?

They couldn't look any better in my opinion, they're direct bolt in's nothing has been modified that I can see around the lights. AFAIK all GTR's have the same bonnet/light shapes.

Just need some blue parkers to match, the standard ones clash horribly with the Xenons :rant:

Hah, yeah I'm a bit intrigued myself actually but at the same time don't really wanna play around for risk of damaging them - have read about people changing a turbo seal and then having one let go 0_0

Side Bar: WTF is with your avatar... is that f#$king Power Rangers? Yes I bloody watched it as a kid =D

Mmmm,

The target would be 280-300rwkw's and have it be as streetable as possible. I'm keen on an oil relocation kit as well, a vented bonnet would be nice for engine bay temps (not rice). Some 18's would be nice too but I kind of like the Volk LE37's it has on it, shame they're 17's though. For now just enjoy it =D

Kushil - My Series II only had POD (enclosed, cold air feed and heat shielding foam) Turbo back exhaust and the factory dual stage boost bypassed so it would run 7psi all the time. At a guess, the car would've made 140-145rwkw's? It had Bilstien Shocks, King Springs, 265 rubber (rears 235 front) and a strut brace so it was fun to drive having come from an NA FWD Celica. The R makes my Series II feel like a stock NA silvia. The power and handling is not comparable. I friend of mine who drives a fairly modded 185awkw WRX explained that he didn't want to race me on the strip or track after going for a ride in it.

I was under the impression that moving into a GTR would just be a heavier, slightly better handling and more powerful Skyline but the difference between the two cars is much bigger than that. Drive one and you'll understand better, good luck on your purchase!

NB: To be fair, the R has more mods than my last car by the way.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
