I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread, even though it took me a good part of 2 hours! lol

From my understanding, this car would have potentially been the real deal, but for some reason or another, Nissan/Nismo decided to can the development, which is ashame. But Malcolm envisaged an idea to see what would have happened if the initial project came into fruition, so hence, we see what he has done to the car.

Sure, he has used a GReddy plenum and other non-Nissan parts. So how do we all know if the factory would have done the same thing? The answer is, we would never ever know.

Malcolm has made educated guesses and his imagination to develop what he believes Nissan/Nismo have dome back in those days. And another point to add. Nismo would not have sent him all those nice goodies if they didn't believe this was the real car.

I have a question if Malcolm ever comes back to read this. Was there any part of the car that Nismo developed and left it intact? Has the motor ever been dynoed to see if there's some special fruit in there?

given his warm welcome at the start of this thread id be suprised if he would bother .. :dry:

ps. great car either way.. :P

If you copped BS all the time off something you believe...you wouldnt be so warm either!

Nice revival Weevils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Malcolm is a lovely guy the car is exquiste and that's all there is too it really..

Each to there own :)

That's pretty much my view on it, and it is indeed a great car! The car itself is pumping out just shy of 300kws if I remember correctly... I've driven with it on the road, and it was a shit load faster then my car, and only a touch slower then a purple R33 known as 'R33GTR'.

Definately a nice clean vehicle :dry:

I beleive the car is really unique. Simply by the fact that it was tampered by Nismo makes it special. The badges and the decal's are made and applied by Nissan. Just because it wasn't brought into production does not mean the car is a failure. Several factors would have gone into that like; it's too costly or the series 2 is out now, lets work on that one instead etc. There was some wierd red VL commodore that Peter Brock made one of and it never went to production - I am sure that car is worth heaps!

Man this thread was so long I almost felt to sleep while reading it

But yeah it is a nice looking car, yeah it has it pros and cons

The car future value in 2018, could be around $112,000.00

I saw this at Ahsfield BP one night a few weeks ago. Was parked in the red rodeo ute next to it for a bit trying to work out what it was.

It looks like a gtr, but its clearly not with the 2500R decal.... hmmmm

Nice ride mate! I look forward to seeing more of it sometime!

[sure, he has used a GReddy plenum and other non-Nissan parts.]

... WOW ! ... where did this thread come back from ? ... the Greddy plenum in question was "chosen" & "listed" for use as a prototype part by the project manager in 1994 ...

post-9783-1259071487_thumb.jpg ... somewhere there where is sais (11A) it specifies the use of the Greddy plenum ... there wasnt a GT-R style plenum ever made for the GTS-t by Nissan or Nismo ...

cheers malcolm :P

funny how nismo made a Japanese mistake in their list of mods...

exhaust is エキゾースト (ekizo-suto) 

not エグゾースト (eguzo-suto)

11A refers to internal components, don't think plenum's internal?

and out of curiousity, what's an N1 water oil pan assembly?

it is still a real nice ECR33 though

Hi & thankyou for your input it is always much appreciated :)

There is no indication that this document originated from NISMO - it may have been transcribed from another list that did - resulting in the "exhaust typo" :)

The (11A) does refer to the "combustion" component of the car - the component where the "plenum" is fitted & where it directly interacts :)

The N1 oil water pan assembly refers to to use of an N1 oil pump & an N1 water pump & an N1 oil pan baffle plate :)

Details:

The N1 water pump is designed to limit the cavitation produced through sustained high engine revolution. This doesn't make the pump superior to the regular Nissan item, simply that it is more suited to a race/track oriented vehicle.It has 6 larger blades than the usual 8 smaller blades of the standard OEM water pump.

Applications:

•Nissan Skyline, R32 GTR

•Nissan Skyline, R33 GTS25-t

•Nissan Skyline, R33 GTR

•Nissan Skyline, R34 25GT-t

•Nissan Skyline, R34 GTR

•Nissan Stagea, WGNC34 RS-4

•Nissan Stagea, WGNC34 260RS

The N1 Oil Pump is designed for the RB series Nissan Engines. This item will work on the RB26DETT, RB25DE(T), RB30(D)E(T), and RB20DE(T) engines. This item is a great replacement for the `achilles tendon' of the RB series engines, the OEM unit is notoriously known to starve tuned RB engines of oil at high RPM`s.The Nissan N1 oil pump provides increased oil flow to cope with the demands of making power.

The N1 baffle plate - NISMO designed this part for the Professional N1 Races in Japan. After extensive use on the street and in the extremes of race & track NISMO found the added benefits undeniable and made it readily available for all GTR BNR32 & BCNR33 owners with a modified version for the GTS ECR33.Providing stable oil pressure by preventing oil from pooling due to the front-rear or lateral G forces often experienced in circuit racing. This prevents metal damage and other engine trouble from occurring.

Applications:

- Nissan Skyline GTR BNR32

- Nissan Skyline GTR BCNR33

- Nissan Skyline GTS ECR33 (modified version)

... many thanks again for your kind input ... cheers malcolm :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
