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???

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
