Hi Malcom, ive met you before and commented to you about your car, i feel somewhat betrayed by what you have led people to believe the car is. Can you please show some sort of documentation or the like from Nissan to varify your claims about this car. Id love you to prove to me what you have is authentic so i can apoligise to you for doubting your credibility. Id love more than anyone to see this car as an authentic piece as at the moment its looking like some sort of "mock-up".

HI THERE :D - I LIKE IT TOO - THE FACT THAT A GTS-T WAS PULLED OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE IN 1993 AND USED A BASE MODEL FOR DEVELOPMENT HAS NEVER BEEN A SECRET - I MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO HPI THAT IF THIS INFO WASNT MADE CLEAR IN THE ARTICLE THAT I WOULDNT LET THEM RUN THE STORY - FRONT COVER OF HPI ISSUE STATES "SUPER RARE 2500R GTST" ALSO TEXT ON PAGE 78 STATES "THIS PARTICULAR GTST WAS PULLED OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE IN DEC. 1993" ALSO ON PAGE 79 IT STATES "THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT TO MALCOLM IS THAT FACTORY SPECIFICATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE APPEAL AND MOTIVATION BEHIND THE BUILD" - SO WHEN SOURCING PARTS LIKE STRUT BRACES BRAKE CALIPERS PLENUMS FUEL RAILS IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME TO USE PARTS THAT WOULD HAVE NATURALLY "FITTED IN" AND BEEN "RIGHT" - WHY USE AN AFTER MARKET STRUT BRACE WHEN A FACTORY NISSAN ONE DOES THE SAME JOB ? - IT ALSO STATES ON PAGE 79 "PIECES FROM THE CAR WERE MISSING FROM THE CAR WHEN IT WAS RECEIVED AND MALCOM HAD TO SOURCE THE EXACT PARTS FROM THE ORIGINAL BRIEF (FACTORY) TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER SOME PARTS HAD TO BE MADE AND OTHERS COULD ONLY BE AS CLOSE TO FACTORY AS IS AVAILABLE" - I WOULD SAY THAT THE PLENUM FITS THAT BILL PERFECTLY AS ONE WAS NEVER MADE FOR THE GTST - HAVING AN "RB-X GT 1" BADGE ON IT IS NOT SAYING THAT ITS A NISSAN OR NISMO PART - IT ALSO STATES ON PAGE 80 "MALCOLM WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES WITHOUT WHOM THE BUILD COULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE ADVAN JUST JAP KOZO WATANABE NATE TUNE NISSAN AUSTRALIA NISSAN JAPAN NISSAN NTH AMERICA OMORI FACTORY JAPAN PERFORMANCE METAL CRAFT POWERPLAY IMPORTS RACE BRAKES SPECIALISED BRAKE AND CLUTCH UNIQUE AUTOSPORTS XCLUSIVE COLOURS - WITH ALL THESE COMPANIES HELPING ME OUT "WHATS THERE TO HIDE" - THE CAR STARTED OFF LIFE IN AN INTERESTING WAY AND ALL IVE EVER TRIED TO DO IS CONTINUE ITS JOURNEY BASED ON WHAT IVE LEARNT ABOUT ITS HISTORY - THE OPENING PARAGRAPH OF THIS THREAD STATES "HERE IS NISSANS NISMOS OMORI FACTORIES (WELL MINE ACTUALLY)..... - CHEERS MALCOLM - :D

OK. WELL ITS A NICE CAR NON THE LESS, EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODDED GTST.

DIRT,

He's pretty much said that the car in no way is any sort of special/limited/proto edition from Nissan/Nismo or anyone else. But more his vision of what such a car would have been.

And agree as nice as the car is, to come on here and in magazines and claim that it is something that it isn't is very disapointing.

Actually I think he said that back in the day, it was 1 of 3 taken off the production line and used by Nissan or Nismo for whatever reason they saw fit... while technically I don't think it would be any different to any other 33 (back then), I think if they had of seen this car back then as it is now, that is probably the direction they would have headed in :(

Not even close

Actually, I think if the staff at Omori Factory saw this thread, their first remark would be, 'baka gaijin'

This is some crazy skyline delorean hybrid? Built in 1993 with a truck load of 1995 - 1998 parts on it.

Man I would have thought it made 1.21 gigawatts not just a measily 460ps.

i think your onto something there...that may account for the 2 years it disappeared between 1993 and 1995. I wonder if the flux capacitor has a Nismo GTX-1 2500R sticker on it too?

Why do you all care so much about picking the car apart..

Malcolm has stated what it is and there shouldnt be a problem....

It's a nice specimen of a R33 and has done well , It might be a prototype it might not...

What's the point of all your BS posts...

He has put alot of time and work into his car like the alot of you guys have and you come in here and do this to him..

That's a awesome welcome guys you should be so proud of yourselves!! :(

well done (NOT) ;)

word. You got his e-back!

I completely agree with Jess - This car is Malcolm's life. He has spent alot of time, money and effort on it to get it to where it is today.

I do know that in 1993, 3 R33 GTST's were taken off the production line to be made into prototypes. 2 of those cars are either in bits and pieces or have been crushed into cubes.

Malcolm's car is a GENUINE Nismo GTX-1 2500r Prototype.

It is the only one left in the world - so i'm guessing its $$$ value would be close to $100,000 if not more, but what its worth to Malcolm is undescribable!

Its like his child - and you can't put a price on something that means that much to you!

If you have nothing nice to say, please don't say it. As i said, this car is like Malcolm's loved one.

WHETHER YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND/HUSBAND/WIFE, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THEM LIKE THIS!

Guys I don't think anyone is saying that there hasn't been a lot of work put into the car, or that the car is not a great example of an R33 GTS25T.

Personally i am simply extremely curious as to whether the car is a genuine Nissan/Nismo prototype. For no other reason other than the fact that I'm a massive Skyline fanboy and want to know everything I can about the cars.

I can also see why people are having a go at him, as if it's it not a proto anything and just a car with some badges and stickers, then that's like me buying an R33 GTR, throwing on some stickers, badges a bodykit, upping the power and calling it a 400R.

Or doing the same with an R34 calling it a Z-Tune

i agree with what you are saying...id love for this car to be proven to be what it has been stated it is. No problem, read one of my earlier posts up the page. But there must be some sort of documentation from Nissan/Nismo to prove its worth, its now one of the most contraversial Nissan vehicles on our shores. Without such proof, people are slicing holes in Malcoms and the cars credibility and some of his conflicting statements are making the fact even worse. Not withstanding this car is an awesome piece of machinery and a credit to him, no ones for a moment doubting that, it seems a little sus thats all.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
