yummy! always loved the look of the old DR's, still not quite as hot as the peter gibson hr's but still quite sexual..... if i was rich i would be on that thing in a heartbeat.

hey they said their negotiable, drop em an offer :verymad:

will peter jackson pay you sponser ship money to drive it?

well i think thats the most ive eva seen someone asking for that model skyline.

shouldnt that be like in a museum somewhere? birdwood maybe, i mean picture writing that off, dont think insurance can replace it

i still think it looks like ass! lol my 33 pwns that over looks... ahaha

like no offence, but if u ever even tried to compared ur car with this ud just be wasting ur time.

f**king nice peice of work, but gotta say the price tag on it does seem a bit steep, even with the history behind it imo.

hopefully the buyer puts it where it belongs, in a museum somewhere.

would be sad to see some clown with more money the brains buy it and kill it, having said that, it would be awesome to see it launch around a track with someone decent behind the wheel.

u guys seriously think that looks good? im not saying the whole car is like ass just saying about the 'looks' i personally dont like it lol.. would you prefer the look of a 33 gtr or a dr30? lol

Edited by gtrkiet

i thought it was r33 you preferred?

for its day, it was an incredibly agressive looking car.

and in 'this day' i would still take the 30, even now it looks mean, and the history behind it adds to the appeal of course.

its mechanical genius and even by todays standard put a top notch driver in it and it would give the super V8s a run for there money

its not a show car thats not what we like about it, its because it was the underdog plus group A touring man

If it wasnt for cars like that the skyline wouldnt have its racing hisotry..... Really what has the R33 or R34 gone down for in history....sweet f/a it was the the 32 and previous that caused the ledgend of godzilla

The owner of this car also has the GIO GT-R. Ex-Gibson employee.

Lots of work done to bring this car back to "as raced" spec.

Actually got to see this car, the Winfield GT-R and one of the R31 T/Cars running around DECA in Shepp. at the Skyline Nationals. Very nice.

All 3 owners are some of the nicest guys you're likely too meet.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
