Hey People ...

Just Going off Topic ...

Found a GTR 33 VSpec N1 for Sale on Ebay ...

Check it out ... :D

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-Skyline-R33-...%3D10%26ps%3D63

Interest? I think its sad. I would love to see the vin to confirm that its a genuine 1 though. Dont understand why would anyone wanna do those mods to a genuine N1 when they can do it to a standard GTR. :)

PS: Kristian: another 1 on your list I suppose.

This was an ex-Global Auto car. The company only deals with mainly heavily modified GT-R's. How long did this go through the auctions?

Only in the last few weeks. It was passed in, so keep your eyes out for it to come up again.. its well in my price range, i will be very keen if it comes up again.

Only V Spec II / M Specs had the millenium jade and silica breath colours.

btw Chris, this car went for quite cheap at 2.7 mil yen. Did TS check this car out for you?

hey mate, no - they didnt tell me about that one.

hopefully it was a non vspec? otherwise - it may have been the body kit that put them off. i told them straight off the bat - i definately want stock aesthetics if possible.

i just got back to sydney tonight - have i missed anything else!?

Hey Chris,

Mind sharing the other 2 cars you saw?

Post their Car sales links if possible and let us know why it Failed the 'Chris' Test ...

I am really gonna take you as my Idol searching my Nur (Hopefully Z Tune lol ... ...)

Gotta keep us Updated Buddy. :banana::bunny:

1) i dont want to directly impact the chances of anyone selling their car, so i'll have to stay very light on the details with this one. anyway, my personal experience - this guy constantly lied through his teeth about the car just to get me to fly over to melbourne, and then turned into a complete 2 faced immature and arrogant c*nt when i told him politely that im not going to go through with buying it (even though i never actually made any promises to start with!) on a side note, it would be perfect if you're after a car which is 2 completely different shades of blue - front / back.

2) the second car i looked at was brandons car (he is also a fellow forum member) i passed this one up due to a few personal preferences with the paint, rims and missing diffuser - etc. nothing that cant be fixed. it runs really well, but its just not the one for me. anyone else shopping - brandons a top bloke, its worth taking a look.

3) this one was absolutely immaculate! passed this one up because it was non vspec and its just another personal preference - its one of the things which would definately keep me up at night. other than that - anyone wanting a near mint example - the price is negotiable and its definately worth looking at. note - car is not the actual car in the pictures.

That blue one has been advertised as a V Spec, 4.5 grade, about 65,000kms. Maybe they just missed it.

f*ck. looks like i've missed out :banana:

thanks for letting me know Eugene, please let me know if you see anything else interesting pop up and i'll ask them to check it out! :bunny:

There seems to be more people looking at R34 here ... ^_^

Please feel free to share more rides available ...

Chris ... seems like you must be a pro to tell if there are 2 different tones on the car front and back unless it's very obvious ... ^_^

I would love to see your car one day ... ^_^

Keep us updated if you found anything else ...

I'll let you know when the next Z Tune will be up for auction. Wont be too long as the owners will be tired of owning these cars and are itching for an upgrade.

Cheers Eugene,

I will be looking forward to see how much of them would be going for now a days ... ^_^ :)

Quick update guys -

Have been keeping an eye on this GTR in Japan which is for sale at a dealer.

Apparently its a one owner, non accident vehicle. From the pics, it looks pretty stock apart from the clear indicators, hks hard pipe kit, filters and te37's. Has service history and the nismo meter was installed at 12km.

Forwarded the details through to Garry last night and he is getting his guys in Japan to check it out for me.

Fingers crossed, will let you know how it goes!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
