I wouldnt normally post, but I have watched this car progress from close to stock form to the state its at now and it is a stand out example of an R33 GTR and has been built, tuned and serviced by the best workshops in Sydney.

No corners have been cut on this thing and it will suit the fussiest buyer and is worth ever cent that is being asked.

Oh and Kabab, I wouldnt want to be in your shoes when Merli see's this thread :P

This particular car is my favourite R33 GTR in Sydney and has been since I first saw it a few years back. I have been in this car and looked over it in detail many times and you will not find another R33 this perfect. Looked after like a newborn by the last two owners which is what you want when you're buying a car like this.

Awesome car and sorry to see you selling it Kabab!

It will be sad to see her go :D

Hopefully in a few years i can get an even better GTR :O

(like everyone else) "I wouldn't normally post here", but I live couple of houses up from Kabab's place and occassionally see this magnificent vehicle drive past my house... beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to and I have no doubt it will be even better to drive it... The new owner would not be dissapointed.

Good luck with the sale Kabab. :)

shit that didn't take long. it's a lovely car. built with Andrew's "no expense spared" mentality.

are we allowed to ask who the lucky new owner is? :laugh:

Not on the forums... but he has owned many GTR's in the past so its going to good hands...

oh well, all's well that ends well.

still, i can't help but think andrew is going to have your balls for this! (assuming it wasn't him that bought it!) :thumbsup:

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
