Some of you knows that I just bought this car for less than 4 months. The GTR is an awesome car to drive, and I have to admit, they are the BEST in its class (and maybe simply the best car from Japan).

The details are:

R33 GTR Vspec 1996 gun metal silver.

AVO fmic worth 1500$

17" Volk Racing TE37 rims worth 3500$ with RE540s Bridgestone semi slick tyres (70% thread left with Azenis semi slick spares -4 of them-) all worth 7000$ when new.

Brembo brakes with Apexi slot and drilled rotor worth 1000$

Tein suspension worth 2000$

3.5" Kakimoto style exhaust cat back with Apexi GT front pipe worth 2500$

GT35BB turbo worth 2000$

K&N Filters

Exeddy 3 puck clutch.

Grex gearknob

Grex oil cap

Momo racing steering wheels

Aftermarket front bar.

HKS SQV BOV.

and many more extras worth around 20.000$ plus.

Resprayed professionally before selling

However I would like to seek interest of anyone out there who willing to swap my car with WRX STi MY01 onwards (new shape) OR Lancer Evolution 5 OR 6.

Otherwise I am willing to re-sale the car again for 50.000$ with new Exeddy 3 puck clutch (less than 1500 kms), new HKS spark plugs, and oil change every 3500 kms. The car is serviced at BMT.

They are great cars to drive, however due to some problems with my dad forcing me to re-sale the car again.

Any other infos call 0415210220 or 0421531468 or email to [email protected].

I would maybe consider dong an outright swap wth my car, even though it is not specified in your list of WANTS...

It is a BNR32 GTR bought from MDORI in Japan. It has 650 Hp (528 RWHP) and has about twice the gear that is on your car.

I realise that you are probably selling your car because you would like something smaller or standard. If you are not interested i am completetly understanding, however i would love to swap your wheels if you are keen? I have BBS LM Evolution 245/4517, they are worth around $8500 new i have been told!

For ultra usability go for the Autech Stagea with R33 GTR running gear etc etc.

If you have to go for a 4 door then usuckpoo s on the money for sure! (saw one of these in Unique Cars a while ago for $65,000)

Youre other option is to go for an Evo VII, UniqueCars magazine has a few of these and you can get low volume compliance for the right ones if you wish to import it yourself...

:D

Then theres Evo 8s

Autech Stegea 260RS's would be the go, but they are rare here, but about to be compliable, and damn expensive... but piss off every HVS GTS driver....Beaten by a wagon, how embarassing

Guys,

Anyone considering importing their own car from japan should haf a look.

http://www.zele-international.com/

Needs a translator cos its in japanese

Its basically a specialized gtr dealer.

They have everything from N1 GTRS to Autech 4 doors.

I have yet to see or hear of one in Australia, but this is close to the rarest gtrs around.

usuckpoo, is ZELE an export site or is it sale for domestic japanese market only?

I find it hard to determine the prices of the cars but from what i can see they are BLOODY expensive. Over 3 million yen for a low kilometre BNR32 GTR is a rort!

For example, the link to that Autech version of the R33 GTR is about 4.2 million yen which is about 60 grand.... I know of some stes that are selling R-34 GTRs to the Australian market for the mid 3 million mark....

I just looked into that site some more, those prices that i thought were million yen ARE million yen. Those cars are rediculously expensive.... Most of those R-32 GTR's are around 50 + grand and the 33's are onwards of 55 grand not to mention the 34's...

Re: Autech 33 4 door: I think they adjusted the timing and fuel maps to get some more grunt due to extra body weight etc, but went a bit over the top and they are sposed to be noticably quicker than a normal 33. I know they have different diff ratios and softer saloon type sus. Rear seats are moulded like the front ones and the stereo is upgraded slightly as is the a/c systems and some other minor details....

I am sure if you look up the R33 Autech 4 door on the net you will find heaps more than i can eloborate on!

From what i am told (i may be wrong here):

yes they are a premium gtr dealer.

They have a uk branch which is where they export most of their cars to i think, but i dont have the uk website.

I was looking ard at the R34 GTRs, not cheap but there are some that come in the 3.5 million yen mark, which is close to the base bidding price at Japanese auctions....

I guess it wont be worth considering if you're just considering a regular gtr, but if you're looking for something that is hard to find at auctions (400R, 4dr gtr, N1 Nur Specs Etc)

This might be it.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
