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???

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
