Do You Know This Car?

[R33Gonz]

The photos below are exactly how the car was purchased by my sister inlaw mid 2006 (minus the chrome tint) from a guy up in Quinn Rocks, the story goes that when he had it he was running nitrous, he blew it up so had the engine rebuilt by a shop in malaga that isnt operating anymore but apparently the engine builder now works at Chris Mills Performance?

Anyways, he was moving house and promised he would send the receipts to show that the engine was re-built with a forged bottom end and all the other bits n pieces but ofcourse nothing came. Ive now since purchased this car from my sister in law and now im looking at selling it, but before i advertise that it has a forged bottom end ill need to confirm it so before i pull down the engine to see what it has i would like to know if anyone recognises this car and can confirm or deny its history saving me the time n money to pull the engine down.

cheers,

Gonz.

YES, it had a GTR Badge on the ass end!!

yeh, i thought it was a far cry seeing as it was over 2 years ago but i thought ied give it ago!!

whats a gasket kit worth? or if i look down the spark plug holes, can i tell if its got forgies? or do i really need to remove the head and have a look?

The cars name is David. He used to hang out at the local pub in Joondalup. That was until the police moved him on.

Last I heard he was turning tricks down by the old barn that burnt down in 62.

Seriously though, just call Chris Mills and see if the engine builder remembers it, or has the number of someone who kept all the company receipts.
