With much sadness the 4 Door will be put up for sale to make way for another GTR. This car was originally built by Martin Donnon at Willall Racing as part of "Project 11's" featured in 11 issue's of zoom magazine. Funly enough they never acheived a 11 second quarter. I did however =) 11.8 at WSID. The car setup works extremmely well. It runs a rare 5 speed Auto Nissan trans which also has a lockup high stall which gives 6 ratios! As you can imaging this makes the car very responsive at any rpm and also give suprisingly good fuel economy. During the original Build the transmission was fitted with a modified value body and kevlar clutch discs by Mike at MV automatics here in Adelaide. It was a very nice setup ,but now is better still. I've had the trans fitted with high performance valves and new kevlar discs during an overhaul earlier in the year so the shifts are now instant. The 3500rpm stall ensures lag free launches and multiples the torque to the extent you can pretty much fry the tyres at will at most speeds. When cruising however the lockup kicks in and she cruises just like the factory wanted...it really is an absolute pleasure to drive. The motor was stock and was rebuilt with new bearings, rings, 33 crank and turbo's. Standard bore 86mm CP forged pistons have been fitted to ensure a very reliable package. The car is also fitted with a full GTR rear cradle, (diff,etc), GTR front support for the R33 GTR front bumper and r32 GTR brakes all round.

Other upgrades are as follows:

R33 GTR front seats

Triple gauge dash cluster (white nissan)

Series 2 tail lights and center garnish

Full hard pipe kit (turbo inlets, turbo outlets, smooth transition twin turbo merge pipe)

Apexi filters

R34 AFM's x2

Apexi PFC

Apexi N1 Dual and std exhaust

boost set at a lazy 14psi max

Momo Evo Millenium style steering wheel

HSD damper and height adjustable coilovers

18" ROH 3 piece Strada wheels x4 + R34 std wheels x4

I haven't put the car on the dyno since I got it, however the tune has been adjusted each time the engine has been modified. I have many different tunes and data log files to go with the car. The current summer tune was comlpeted in the last month, runs 12.6:1 AFR and no knock what so ever.

The car has had most of the performance upgrades completed after my run at WSID and is now considerably faster. I won't give you a estimate of power, but I'm sure you can work it out from the time it has run

The car is currenlty registered and cleared through Regency for the engine change(papers included) so no need to worry about getting a canary.

The car will be ready for sale in the next few weeks. I originally purchased this car at a steel for $15,000 a year ago. After the additional mods and adding up how much I could part the car out for: I will be looking for $15,000.

just wondering how good is the fuel economy on this?

Yeah it'd be fine as soon as you went into boost range. Then you could watch you fuel gague bungee jump. lol

The car is in storage and hasn't been driven since my Brother-in-law got his GTR. He has just bought a house so if you through him offers you may get a real bargin. It does need some attention

-real bumper is burnt from the N1 dual exhaust (new silver bumper supplied, just fit)

-A wire from one AFM to the PFC is intermittent, just needs the break to be found

-two of the ROH rims have been dented and require re-rolling.

-DVD/SAT NAV has been removed but will be supplied

The engine is extremmely fresh and very clean any test welcome(leak down, compression, turbo play, headgasket, etc)

Get in quick

in terms of fuel economy, for those interested. im pretty sure this car was used for an article that involved tuning specifically for economy, and they got it from mid 14's down into the 11's (litres per 100km).

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
