Sorry guys didn't know where to post this, went and had a look at this call today : check the carsales page out

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...amp;distance=25

Guy is stating that this is a Vspec and has a 2.8 L Motor in it from a Nismo 400R

Can someone please tell me what to look for on this car, Car looks very clean and neat to me and sounds great. Just unsure with the whole Motor.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Gday mate,

im currently int he market for a r33 gtr as well, i looked at that car, i think its for track use only but i might be wrong, i still think you should stay away because a car with that many mods wont be easy to an rwc for and mod plated well thts my 2 cents anyway

, there are so many other clean r33 gtrs out in melb, i wish that was the case in qld but its not, hence i looked all over australia for one, im heading down to sydney this weekend to buy mine :P , let me know if you need any more help, coz ive been lookin at GTRs for the past 3 months, i thnk i know the carsales website of by heart now lool,

cheers

The easiest way to check if thats the spec of the car is through Nissan Fast. Get the VIN number of the car and post it on the Nissan Fast thread and someone will tell you if thats a vspec or not and all other information you might want to know. Alternativelty, if you can visually inspect the car, bend down from the back and look at the differential (I think thats whats its call, ETS Pro), it should have fins on it if thats a vspec.

which one did u end up buyin from down here? private sale or from a dealer?

farkin tell me about it! ive been looking to purchase a r32 gtr and have had the cash ready for 5-6 months now. i check all over the net almost every night but it seems no ones wants to sell a good gtr, all i can find are scrappy ones. i'm even now considering buying an r33 gtr (shudders) haha :)

to be fair there are a select few good 32's out there, just not in black.

Ok Guys, i have got some new information from the guy selling the Car.

1. He has stated that the engine is out of a Nismo 400R and therefore has not got an Engine number, when i ask him why he said because it's a race engine.

2. i have the Vin number which is 6u900bcnr33009061

Can some please tell me if the REINIK motor is meant to have an engine number or not

Post the vin here... someone will reply to it. Do you know what is a 400R? Thats even rarer than N1 or LM amongst the 33 variants. I'm not saying its not possible but what are the chances that someone will remove the 400R engine from a geniune 400R 33 GTR??

"Nismo had originally planned to produce 100 units of the 400R, however only 44 units were ever made due to the closure of the production line for the R33 in 1998" - quoted from Wiki.

Maybe the owner got an engine built to the spec of the 400R. Depending on what you're after, that might be the car you're after or just another thrashed 33GTR.

I am just worried about getting a F*&KED car, Ben at Racepace did the comp test and said that every came back at 160+ and he even said that the engine is a geniune 400R motor with no more than 50,000 on the engine.

But still i am sure that these motors would of had some sort of engine number or marking. if anyone know anything about these motors, i would really appreciate all the help i can get on this

Sorry, cant help you on that 1. Since you're already in contact with Racepace, why not ask them for advise? I'm sure they'll be able to provide you with something.

I hope it was this one.. immaculate! Chris' R33 S3 GTR (KR4-GTR)

Just saw your post! damn your cool! :) haha

On a side note, didnt sell the car, she's too beautiful and there are more important things going on in my life other than getting a R34 GTR :(

how is it registered if it has no engine number ? take a photo of where the engine number should be so we can see if its been tampered with ? it looks like a very clean car, is there engine shots ?

Engine is not shot, as i have stated, Ben from Racepce said it's a very strong engine and that's an engine from an Nismo 400R

The guy selling the car said that Vic roads give a engine number to it. The Guy is telling me that it doesn't a an engine number because it's a race motor

well seeing as it has been complied it would make it a street ready car almost... shouldnt the block have RBX28 stamped on it? Isnt this why the 400R wasnt able to be complied here???

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
