Hello All,

I was putting my 32 in at my mates shop to get new turbo seals and i noticed his gold R33 GTR on the hoist. You guys may or may not have seen it but it has the plates: SECRT

Anyway it is supposed to be on tonight's Top Gear Australia episode - 7.30 pm SBS. It was put up against a Ferarri and a Porsche in a battle of "which car is more attractive to females" lol.

Now I am not 100% confident it will be this episode because he thought it is was going to be foxtel only - it just seemed too much of a coincidence to have it on Monday night. So, give it a watch if you guys arent already and hit this post back with what you thought of it.

(I hope it is this episode otherwise big 'doh' on my behalf!!!).

Unfortunately,

just to dampen everyones spirits on this amazing car, wasn't the previous owner of this car sadly murdered?

i remember you telling me that nick. I wonder why he was murdered.

Sadly you are correct, however this thread should stay on topic and be discussing the actual car only.

If the car is 1000HP now, it has come a long long way.

Last time I saw it at UAS it had a T88H-38GK strapped on the side of it but hadn't managed more than ~400rwkw.

I have no proof of the power output. But was the engine bay looking like this?

Yep, and that photo is very similar to the one UAS still has on their website from back when it was in there yard years ago.

The engine was built in Australia, by Advan Performance.

Advan? Thats not very top secret...deceiving number plates! And copy cat painted engine cover!

Like I said, I have no information or history on this car. You guys seem to know way more about it than me. Still be good to see it on TGA

Its been around for a long time and to my knowledge was not 'built' by Top Secret at all, nor was it one of their demo cars as some believe.

Talked to John a couple of years ago about the car.

It was basically a stock bottom end copping the abuse with a big turbo bolted on, with pretty engine covers. They found out when the engine finally carked it and they cracked it open to inspect.

All good now though I'm led to believe.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
