okay its time to let my car go and move on to other things in my life..

it is a genuine 1996 GTR R33 LM Vspec, one of the 98 ever made..mechanically there is not a lot of difference..but it is a special edition car..

i imported the car at the beginning of 2006 with genuine 68000ks on the clock. It was a grade 4 with interior grade B on the auction sheet.

i did a conpression test when i first got the car and it returned very good result-165 across every cynlider. it has always been serviced for every 5000ks or under, and it has been taken very good care of. ( any of you who know me would know i always wanted the best for this car)

I have done a few minor mods since...things i have now:

HKS cat back exhaust

Power FC

Tomei Cam Gears with aftermarket timing belt

GReedy Profec B Boost controller

GReedy Auto Timer

Apexi Induction kit

19 Row oil cooler with relocator

along with other little things

it was tuned by Gavin Wood/Matt Spry back last year, and on 12psi it had about 290awhp

all the mods were done while i had a big big plan for it as i always wanted to build a track/road car..but financially it is not possible for me at this stage so i have to move on from it..

now the car has about 88000ks on it, and i have all the receipts and paperwork from the day i imported it.

so this car has never ever seen the track/drag strip..and it has never been thrashed because i love this car.. ( a lot of you who know me know i dont thrash cars)

this is not the quickest GTR, but it has been taken very good care of and it has never broken down on me. if you want something reliable and to build it yourself, this is the car to buy

the price i am asking for is 38000 with a set of Nismo LM-GT1 wheels (newish 275/18/35)

or with stock R33 GTR wheels for 36000...ono

oh before you ask, the car is in its original colour..it has never been in any accidents so yeah. its definately not one of those dodgy resprays

i may be interested in trading for a post 2004 car.

yeah this is about it..making up my mind to sell it is the hardest bit really.

34000 with stock GTR wheels

Hi Frank,

Hope you aren't too disappointed in a replacement car. But $35K would make a good downpayment on a home - to be realistic.

However, I'm interested in the Nismo LM1 Wheels and I'm wondering if they'll fit a R34 GT-R since I may purchase them as a spare set.

Can you also take photos of each them incl. gutter rash on any and send them to [email protected] I'd appreciate that.

Thanks heaps,

Terry

been talking to someone who knows a bit more than me about the price of LMs, and realised that it was priced too low

however if you are genuinely interested we can talk about the price..

yeah 38000 is with LMGT1s

Guys this is very cheap for a genuwine LM GTR, one recently went nearly double this price. I would snap it up so it can sit next to my LM but i have no room.

Good luck Frank

Cheers Thraso

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
