DRAG GTR 1000+HP OS Giken Race Engine, 6 Speed Holinger Sequential Gearbox. $120,000

Immaculate R33 GTR purchased in 2000 with only 13000km. Developed from standard road GTR into one of Australia's highest modified Drag GTRs. Numerous magazine articles including HPI magazine's 3 Litre Streeter. OS Giken RB30 race engine has HPC coated dry sump, ported race head with oversize valves, custom manifolds & plenum, GT42 Turbo, MSD coils, water to air intercooler, 12 x 1600cc injectors, Motec M800 & CDI with datalogging, huge magnaflow fuel pump & custom tank, Dedenbear water pump, OS Giken Quad plate clutch, Apexi hydraulic torque controller, Line locker, ATS 1.5 way front & rear diffs, HKS suspension, Carbon fibre brakes with Strange engineering aluminium calipers, Velo Carbon/Kevlar race seat, Momo steering wheel, custom dash with Autometer gauges, Custom lightened doors, Custom front bar, Deist parachute, Moly Roll cage, Willans harness, HP fittings & quality braided line used throughout car. ANDRA tech inspected.

GTR has had limited use due to no track in Adelaide. Best time so far is 9.45 153mph. Has been out of action for a number of years while undergoing further changes & current setup has fresh engine build, fresh Holinger gearbox, brand new paintjob, new intercooler & ignition setup, brand new turbo & wastegate, etc etc. Too many custom details to list. Over a quarter of a million dollars has been spent on this car over the last 7 years.

The car is now finished & was tested at Heathcote in mid April. Running only low boost & conservative tuning the GTR ran 9.9 145mph. This GTR is magnificent to drive & has been built by Willall Racing with the best of everything. It has the potential to run into the eights on radial tyres & any buyer with regular access to a track will have no problems doing so.

I am looking for an outright sale, but will consider a trade in. If the right sports car came up I may trade the GTR + cash balance for it.

A 4WD race car with almost 1hp per kilo & carbon fibre brakes that can almost lift the rear tyres off the ground is an amazing thrill to drive & will impress any hard core driver game to take the wheel.

Thanks Brett.

A number of reasons. Main one is fairly obvious - No track to race on in Adelaide.

Been waiting for years for them to get their act together & I have just had enough.

It is hugely expensive to race these cars interstate on a regular basis.

I am running a small business that is open 7 days a week.

I have a toddler & a new baby on the way.

Between business & family commitments it has just become all to hard &

I have lost interest.

Whoever does buy the car (unfortunately will probably go overseas) will get

one of the most highly developed & professionally finished GTRs around

at a fraction of the cost to actually build one to this level.

It has been awsome to own & drive - wish I got more use out of it but thats life.

Full boost has some good photos of it from Heathcote a couple of weeks ago

at the LS1 Drag Nationals.

Seriously the next person that posts anything other then genuine interest in buying Johns car will be banned, pm him if you have other question

John and Keir as far as I'm concerned are pioneers of drag/big hp skylines with the development and times they ran in Australia, many of us would even class them as legends

Please give John the respect he deserves or I will BAN you

Hi John, been a while mate.

Bradley Here.

Congrats on the new family members.

I remember the day you first bought it and going for a cruise oh how things change.

Even the colour is changed, looks sweet :D

Anyway i wasnt sure if you still had the footage of it in full flight, so i hope you dont mind me posting it here.

9 meg AVI - http://www.users.on.net/~danzig/Munro-9seconds.avi

Save it out to you Laptop if you don`t have it already.

Ill have to catch you up soon one day.

To anyone interested in this car, it is a machine that is worthy of ownership and has had tender loving care thru out its ownership, i was lucky enough to witness it being developed from stock and would be a worthy buy.

Good luck with the sale John, hope to catch you up soon.

Moderator dont ban me please we go way back and all, thanks.

Regards, Bradley, aka GTR King.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
