Hi all,

Due to some recent changes in my family / life - I have to make space in the garage for another car. As such, my daily is going - CHEAP!

* ~60,000km (genuine)

* Car is eligible for CLASSIC CAR REGISTRATION (over 34yrs old)

Extras - included with the sale:

* Couple of spare glass pieces

History -

* I bought this car in July 2008 as I needed a new daily driver

* Car was purchased for $2,300 from family in North Ryde

* Previously the car was last driven in 2002 (when last owner was alive)

* Between 2002-2008, the family just serviced & maintained it for memory-sake

* Fuel economy is great, the 1100cc motor is only a 3cylinder and will run on oily rags

* There is absolutely no dramas with the engine / any other operating items in the car

* Thermo fan has been hard-wired as during summer it did have cooling problems whilst sitting in heavy traffic - controlled via ON/OFF switch at the moment.

Thanks for all the interest but the car is no longer for sale for another 6 months - further changes in the family after talking to my dad last night.

Will keep record of your interest and be in touch 6 months later - of course the price I'll be after will reduce at that stage.

Thanks

Stan

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
