Hey guys

SOLD SOLD SOLD! CONGRATS TO THE NEW OWNER

Price Drop!

I have a rare 1997 Series III R33 GTR VSpec for sale in Sonic Silver (colour only available for series 3). 2nd owner in Australia and the car is in immaculate and near standard condition. The odometer reads 63000ish kms and the condition suggest that it is consistent with the km’s. I am after $36000 ONO for it. Rego till March 08. no low ball offers or time wasters please. But reasonable offers will be considered :D Car is located in Newcastle.

I bought the car in stock standard condition. All the mods on the car I have receipts for and all are brand new. The mods include (all only a few weeks old):

Engine:

-Trust Power Extreme II Cat back exhaust (3 inch)

-3 inch Catco metal cat (5 inch body)

-3 inch Trust front pipe

-Greddy Profec B Spec 2 boost controller

-Apexi panel filter

-Apexi Power FC + HC

Exterior:

-Brand new Rays Engineering Gram Lights 57F Pro. 18 x 10 + 15 with Dunlop Direzza 245/40/18 tyres brand new with over 95% tread left. The rims have absolutley no scratches or any rash on them. Cost me over $4600 for these babies.

-Rays engineering light weight lugs nuts worth $180.

Other:

-Mongoose alarm and immobiliser

-Kenwood Head unit, plays MP3s. But cannot pick up Australian radio

Tuned by Jim on the Dyno at Croydon several weeks ago, made 222.1awkw or 240ish rwkw @ 1bar boost. Air fuel mix was around the 11.7 mark so it is very safe tune as well. Very good result considering i only have an exhaust and a bit more boost :( Can also be run on stock boost too. Dyno sheet available

Everything else on the car is stock standard. Its also got a few factory options from Nissan like the Momo steering wheel, N1 slots, larger from lip, rear fog light (only on series 3) and red stitching interior, Xenon headlights and dual air bags. Interior condition is like new with no rips or scuffs. The front lip has a few scrapes on it but an easy fix.

The car runs very smooth and has no leaks of any kind, no oil burning, no starting/stalling issues, no fuel consumption issues and A/C works perfectly too. I get around 400km’s per tank in the city. It had a major service about 3500kms ago, with new NGK platinum spark plugs, fuel filter, oil filter and Motul engine oil and also gear box oil changed. Also the car has never been raced and it is not thrashed either, always babied and washed weekly! Will make an excellent base for modifying or keeping as is!

Thanks buddy! What car did you have?

well I certainly know Phil is very picky about his car as he bought my 33 GTR vpec (which was then stolen before he could take delivery) so I can imagine he was just as picky when he bought this car. Late model 33s really are just that bit nicer than the early models and this one looks pretty good. I hope you get a good price for it. :)

Thanks guys!

Yea Richard this one is immaculate like the one you had :( I still would of liked yours, then I wouldnt have had to buy the parts myself to fit them!

  • 1 month later...
How often are you in Sydney? ;)

Occasionally! Depends really, but i would say maybe once 1 month and most of the times i dont drive my car unless if its for a dyno or a good reason! :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
