The BCNR33 4door Autech version was released as a 40th anniversary model of the Skyline GT-R.

It was developed by Autech Japan, a Nissan affiliate engaged in the development, production and sales of limited-edition vehicles.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the debut of the legendary Skyline this special model was built.

Some of these vehicles eventually found their way to Australia.

good luck finding someone who wants to part with one of these babies. Yes I do believe there are only a few in Aus, and I would think they would fetch a pretty price. I am currently trying to buy and comply a RS 260 Autech Stagea which Canberra is not making an easy task. Supposed to be allowed to comply Aug 03 now looking like Jan 04, bastards. Who has the compliance tags for the 4 door GTR or are they private Imports that have been brought in and re sold?

Cheers

if you see the white 33 gtr 4 door 4 sale (the one that was at capalaba, i live near there) beware.

I know the guy who imported it and repaired it. It had hit a pole dead centre in the front and the pole had fallen on the roof and crushed it. it has had a new roof and front put on it.

Do not get me wrong, the company that fixed it do a go job and i looked at the car about 2 days after it was finished and it looked pretty good.

I was told by the guy that did it, he said that were 100 made in japan, and you can buy all the parts to build your own. Mainly rear door skins and rear quater panels.

He also told me that a melbourne import company had a staright one arriving which would owe them about $100,000. this was about 12 months ago.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
