Hey guys

I bought my GTR last year in february as a stock standard 1999 V-Spec GTR.

After a few weeks I took it to Japanese Motorsport to get upgrades done.

These upgrades include the following (all brand new!)

post-50722-1245129022_thumb.jpg

2x HKS 2530

2x HKS heavy duty actuators

2x HKS stainless steel dump pipes

Kakimoto front pipe

TRUST PEII Drag Exhaust System + titanium tip

Apexi ECV ( quitens the exhaust noise via cockpit)

HKS Type R Intercooler

HKS Racing Chamber (hard pipe kit)

Nismo Fuel Pump (rated 4.6L/min)

Nismo 600cc injectors

Apexi D-Jetro PowerFC + Apexi boost control kit + hand controller

(stock air flow meters still in place, despite using the D-Jetro MAP sensors)

Tomei Type B Poncams 260IN/260EX, 9.15mm lift (delivers more power at high RPM)

HKS Cam Gears

HKS Timing Belt

Nismo water pump

Nismo oil sump baffle

Nismo twin plate Super Copper Mix Clutch kit

Nismo oil catch can (with return line that drains into the sump)

All gaskets were replaced with new ones and the rocker cover was painted in shadow chrome

It was tuned by Martin Donnon and made 328kw at the rear wheels (1.4bar boost) on his Mainline Dyno.

On the road the car is a weapon with instant response and spine tingling acceleration that pulls all the way to the redline!

I also had Tein Super Street coilovers fitted (height + dampner adjustable)

I bought the EDFC to control the dampning from the cockpit but this is still to be fitted

Cusco Rear camber arms have also been fitted to square up the rear.

Wheel wise I went for a set of 19 x 10.5 Bronze TE37s with the +12 offset which sit tuff as on the GTR!

Tyres are Toyo Proxe 4: 265/30/19 and are as new since the car is only driven about once a month:(

I'm yet still to fit the Nismo side skirts and rear pods aswell as a set of rare Nismo guard flares (4 flares)

aswell as a set of Nismo clear front bar indicators

Once the car was finished at Japanese Motorsport it was taken to George and Theo at GT Autosound

for the alarm and sound system. This includes:

MB Quartz splits

MB Quartz amp

Basstube 12" subwoofer

Pioneer DVD player (plays DVDs through standard in dash monitor)

Dynamat was used in both doors to improve sound quality!

The car also comes with a 320kph Black Face dash cluster with odometer reading 40,471kms

The alarm I chose was the GM500 which SMS's you everytime your

alarm is triggered you can also go online and track the whereabouts of your car!

Finally I fitted a Red Carbon Fibre Bride Low Max Gias seat that not only

feels great but looks perfect against the bayside blue paint of the car!

My GTR has been meticulously looked after and parked in a 24hr security monitored

carpark. The car is rarely driven, on average its probably taken out once a

month (never to circuit or drag strip either) and only been washed 4 times in the last year and a bit!

In total the car owes me close to $100,000 (I have receipts) but I'm willing to let it go for $77,000

I will negotiate with those who want to buy it without the sound system. and sorry! no trades.

I'm also selling my 200sx that I just finished building please check other posts for that:)

If you have any questions you can contact me (Vinh) on 0434 100 131

or eski51 [at] internode.on.net

Location is Adelaide City.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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).
