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!

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! :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
