Selling My '97 R33 Gts-t "wreck"

Got called up by NRMA this morning telling me what they've settled on for my insurance. I get a sum of cash and the wreck of my car.

I would love to get it fixed up in my own time with my own parts, but unfortunately that isn't really an option :D

This being the case, I'm looking to sell the effective "shell" of an R33 to someone for a decent price. The car itself was slid up a gutter, not at a direct right-angle to the curb, with most of the impact seeming to be on the rear wheel. Other than suspension damage, wheel damage, possible diff damage, and a probably buggered clutch, the car should be in good condition.

I'd rather try to sell the car whole, than have to take parts off it and sell them separately, but will sell parts if someone needs something specific.

NRMA valued the wreck at $4k, but who knows what they're on.

Car is currently located out at Pickles in Fyshwick, down side of the block (last I saw it) on the left when facing the building from the road. Happy to come out and meet up to look over the car if you're interested.

FYI there's no panel damage on the car, other than gravel rash on the bumper, a scratch on the right corner of the front bumper, and a scratch on the right rear bumper corner. No dints, cracks, or missing pieces. Very few blemishes on the paintwork either.

Call/SMS me on 0431391359, or just PM me.

-Troy

74,000kms, only mods were turbo timer, lowered springs, and 18" wheels. Never been run above standard boost, everything else in the car is stock, except the battery (which has only been used to start the car about 10 times, about 2 months old. Came with 3 year warranty etc, can provide receipt :D)

That'd be a good idea, because once you see mine, if you have the motivation and access to a decent garage, you'll probably be keen as to make a single good car out of the wrecks (assuming you can get the needed parts out of yours)

call me if you want before you head to pickles and i'll come out and go over the car with ya, coz if you're interested in it we can at least talk a few things over. if not, hell there's probably a few things I still need to get off it before some scrubs steals em :down:

The car has now been sold. Thanks/sorry to those of you who expressed interest in parts of the car, but I'm sure you understand that I'd rather have sold it all in one go, rather than wreck it myself. The buyer was only looking for the engine in particular, so what he does is with the rest of it is up to him. If you'd like to know who bought it if you're still after a particular part, PM me and I'll tell you. That way you can at least get onto them to see if the part is available.

Thanks :P

(PS Shell, might as well lock this thread for the hell of it :down:)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
