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

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.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
