NISMO PROTO GTX-1 2500R

SO WHATS IT WORTH ??

IVE HAD SEVERAL ENQUIRIES ASKING JUST THAT !! - COULD BE TIME FOR A BIT OF FUN :D - IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT I HAD CAUSE RECENTLY TO HAVE IT PROPERLY VALUED FOR INSURANCE RESALE & INVESTMENT PURPOSES - THE FIGURE BASED ON ITS RARITY ALONE IS VERY INTERESTING !! - THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A BIT FURTHER DOWN THE TRACK SAY WHEN IT TURNS 25 YEARS OLD ITS GOING TO BE A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE MOTOR VEHICLE INDEED - IT WILL NEED TO STAY IN MINT CONDITION OF COURSE - SOMETHING THAT AS LONG AS I HAVE IT IS GUARANTEED.

SO HERES THE CHALLENGE ! - PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON AND REPLY POST WHAT YOU DETERMINE COULD/SHOULD BE ITS VALUE WHEN IT TURNS 25 IN THE YEAR 2018.

WHOEVER DETERMINES THE CLOSEST OR THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE FIGURE THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN CAN TAKE IT FOR THE DRIVE (WITH ME AS CO PILOT) UP THE F3 FREEWAY TO TERRY ASHWOODS "SKYLINE" RESTAURANT "LA PORCHETTA" IN GOSFORD FOR A PIZZA AND A DRINK - MY SHOUT ! - ONE REPLY POST PER PERSON AND ONLY DRIVERS WITH FULL "BLACK" LICENSES PLEASE !

ILL KEEP IT GOING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS SO NO NEED FOR A HASTY GUESS !!

BEST OF LUCK !!

SO.....

......ON YOUR MARKS - GET SET - GO ! :D

P.S. - MIGHT PUT THE DAY OF THE DRIVE TO GOOD USE AND GET A HEAP OF CARS TO COME ALONG - SAY 10 OR 20 BUCKS A HEAD AND DONATE THE DOSH TO CHARITY ! - LEAVE IT WITH ME AND ILL CHAT WITH DUNCAN AND GET A PLAN HAPPENING :O

Malcom, your car looks great.

Is this not the same R33 that you have had for years? Or did you have another one that looked identical.

HI THERE - I DID HAVE 2 GUNMETAL R33'S AT ONE STAGE BUT DOWNSIZED AND BOUGHT A MICRA AS MY DAILY IN 2005 - THE 2500R HAS ALWAYS BEEN MINT STORED AWAY AND DOESNT EVEN DO 1000KMS A YEAR THESE DAYS :D

and doesnt comes out in the rain :)

Nice Avatar Mal :)

it's a cool car. bit strange, but cool none the less. the only advice I'd have is that all the modifications done to it would definitely diminish it's value as a collectible. some of the claims seem a bit out there too. like GTR gearset? it's the same as a GTST gearset why would they do that? and with the 4.4:1 diff I'm not so confident of it reaching anything near 285km/h. still as far as 33 GTSTs go it's well up there with the nicer ones. :)

considering it's not really a collectible model as such (but it is a very rare model) I would say maybe $20-$25K with the right buyer. :P

Wow, impressive. I remember how much money you put into your old GTS-25T, and it looked identical to the '2500R'.

In fact I remember when you had the Trust turbo and the Greddy plenum fitted.

What are the odds of finding a 'Genuine' 2500R in Japan, let alone one that looked like your previous cars twin?

What a beautiful car this is! I was most fortunate to catch Malcolm and his 2500R out front of Autobarn in Maitland. Was kind of embarrassing having my R33 gts-t next to the 2500r as it put my car to shame haha!

The most mint r33's I have ever seen and most likely will ever see!

Hope to see you and your car around again some other time Malcolm!

i have seen this car and it is a very very nice vechile!!

I would say about $24-$26 at the end of the day its still a GTS-T

Im sure it maybe a special vechile but NISMO didnt make a big deal out of it like say a Z-tune and there were 20 of those made.

Really no-one has heard of it cause its not a vechile that lets say MADE THE CUT!!!

Never the less a very very nice car

Hrmm in 10yrs time I believe it will be worth less than an R35 GTR.

It is only valuable to those that are actually interested in that specific model rather than as an investment so whilst i'd like to say $10k i'll put a price tag of $45k on it.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
