Well due to the fact that I am no longer working I cannot really afford to keep the car insured and on the road so it is up for sale. Will consider trades.

1995 R33 GTST Silver

45000klms

dual airbag

5sp Manual

Nismo dash with white backed gauges

Nismo leather gear knob

Apexi SAFC (not fitted, supplied in original box with manuals etc, never got round to fitting it and tuning it all up)

Apexi front mount intercooler

Turbosmart dual stage gated boost control with illuminated in cabin switch

Apexi N1 cat back exhaust (the hot dog style muffler comes out on an angle, not too loud)

Original exhaust also supplied

Speco Boost Gauge

Has 5 piece genuine Skyline floor mats with metal plate

Has light up rear "skyline" logo

17" CSA mags with 235 front and 255 rear tyres heaps of tread

$22000 ono in Brisbane

Also have some really good stereo gear, and custom mountings etc that I had made for the skyline which I would throw in at the right price.

Orion XTRPRO10D 10" subwoofer, in custom sealed enclosure mounted under parcel shelf, trim panel and mounting boards for amplifiers to go in the boot (could be adapted to suit any amps).

Will consider a small cheap car as trade and maybe even an NA 180SX or Silvia.

I will have some pics up on the weekend. If interested you can email me at [email protected]

edit: Forgot, it also has an expensive alarm and immobiliser.

edit2: Had new EBC greenstuff brake pads fitted recently and new NGK iridium spark plugs.

edit3: Also has GFB Hybrid blow off valve and has ABS Brakes (original blow off valve also supplied as I still have it)

Keep thinking of things that I left off the first post. I spent too much money on this car!!

yeh I actually quit to go back and study full time, just can't quite stretch the money far enough to keep the car, its a shame as it is really nice, especially with pretty much all the mods done.

Haven't even turned the boost up yet as I was going to get it set when I got the SAFC fitted and tuned.

I would rather sell the SAFC with the car at the moment. How's the 32 going?

No body kit, the idea was to leave it looking like a plain R33 and do all of the performance mods. Less likely to be stolen then.

I will try to take some more up to date pics today.

yeh I believe merli decided to keep his in the end. I was actually looking at getting a very similar body kit put onto mine as it looks really nice.

I will try and get some more pics up this evening or tomorrow, depends if I get time today, the cars a bargain for whoever buys it as it cost me a hell of a lot more to buy and put all of these parts on it. Drives beautifully and the white nismo gauges just look awesome.

Will you consider swap for a gen HR31 GTS-X in perfect condition?

Some of the boys have seen my car i have posted it up a few times. My mod list goes longer than my arm. I have spent to the close side of 20g's on the car.

Just a few bits to get you interested....

T3/4 Hybrid turbo (good for 20+psi)

Custom Side mount intercooler

550cc HKS injectors

700HP pump

5/8" lines

ECU re-mapped with Nismo chip

33 spline diff LSD (with elec. traction control)

Elec Drivers seat

Full velour trim (black)

After market boost gauge in crome cup

Tail shaft loop

137km's on the clock

Lovell Spings front

King springs rear

Blitsen shocks rear

Elec. shocks front (adjustable from cabin)

Elec. Front spolier (Auto mode still works)

$6,000 in stereo (2 amps, 1 sub, Audison splits, DSP, CD tuner)

New Nismo spark packs

Nismo bearing set (bottom end)

Very cold A/C

Never been in an accident

I run 8psi daily with 176rwkw (400km's to tank)

I have run 13psi on dyno at 224.2rwkw (300km's to tank)

I tried to run 17psi on dyno but the car jumped around too much

and the dyno guys would not allow me to go foot flat.

(Most likely 5km's per tank, LOL)

I did the shocks and springs after that and it would be

allright to run 17psi now as the car sits allot better......

Im looking for a fairly stock looking R33 to become my next

sleeper / project car.......

NOTE: I was also going to drop manual gear in but lost

intrest and money at casino. So am not too worried if you

are not intrested in this vechicle as i was planning on keeping

it for many years to come....... Im just toying with the idea

of doing an R33 now, but am very weary of selling the R31.

I've been after a 4 door Skyline for some time, but your interest in trading a small car (eg Corolla) might just sway me!

I have a 92 Corolla CSi sedan with 205K on the dial. The paintwork is not real flash, but mechanically it's quite good. I get just under 500K to a tank of BP Ultimax (40L tank). I have a full service record for it since I purchased in late 98. I've driven it for 95K now. Not an exciting car, but it has been reliable, and after some initial expenses, quite cheap to run.

I'd be interested to know a few more things about your ride:

- how much is it costing you to insure in Brisbane (with all those tasty mods)?

- how much do you estimate it would cost to fit and tune the SAFC?

Also, the kms sound quite low to me - how many have you put on it in Australia? Do you have the original auction record for it?

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
    • You mean you will regret it for drifting duties? I don't quite follow.
