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) ;)

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
