Hi Guys,

Time has come to sell my R33 GTR. It's a Tommy Kaira RL spec edition car. It was purchased in Japan and imported earlier this year. It comes with NSW rego.

This car is a very special R33 GTR. my friend Mark bought this car for himself in Kyushu but soon after got very taken by an EVO so this GTR ended up with me. I know he's crazy... Anyway it's a great car but I also own 2 other GTRs, a worked S13 Silvia drift car, 2 motorbikes and a daily car and having now bought a new house I desperately need to sell a few of my cars.

Here's the details on this car which you can also view on carsales.

This would be the one of the most unique and desirable R33 GTRs available. It is a factory Tommy Kaira (serial number TK0016) making it possibly one of a kind currently here in Australia. In addition, it has about $30,000 worth of performance enhancing modifications including AP RACING BRAKES (6 pot fronts with 360mm rotors and 4 pot rears with 340mm rotors), light weight forged SSR Racing Alloys and APEXi Power FC ECU. Brakes alone are worth around $10,000. Engine compression has been tested and was near perfect. Compression is 1100KPa in all cylinders except no. 5, which measured 1120KPa (very minor variation). The car looks and feels fresh and new. Interior is unmarked and can best be described as immaculate. The body is also A1 with excellent paint and finish. This is a NON accident motor vehicle that has been garaged most of its life. If you are looking for a truly SPECIAL GTR, this is it.

More photos are available upon request. ANY inspections welcome.

Following is the detailed list. As you can see ALL the parts on this car are top quality. Nothing cheap or nasty anywhere on this car.

one thing to note. in the pics it has just a plain carbon wing element. I since changed it for the nismo dual plane one which is awesome. They are super rare and the only other one I've seen went for around $2,000 when it was sold.

As for kms it's showing 45,000kms on the nismo meter kit. I would say total kms around 60,000kms or so. It's hard to say exactly but the car is in fantastic condition and as always as a buyer judge the condition of the car by how it looks and drives. Compression test results also suggest a well looked after car in top condition. Also any serious buyer is welcome to have their own mechanic do another test. Or save some money and just go off the one I had done.

Some notes from me:

Car drives very nicely. It's got lots of nice gear but has definitely not been a track car and still has very mild power mods but lots of other great gear. It's running just on 1bar boost and I'd estimate power around 250awkw. It has all the important reliability mods, proper jap alloy radiator and header tank system which keeps air pockets out of the head (rad costs around $1,000 and $400 for the header system), has a nice japanese HKS oil cooler kit (also around $1,000, and a nice HKS intercooler (around $1500).

The brakes are amazing. Exactly what you'd expect with big 6piston AP callipers and matching 4 piston rears with nice big 2 piece rotors all round. it stops like nothing else. Quite often when just pulling up gently at a set of lights the brakes are so good you find yourself coming up a meter short of where you wanted to end up and then have to creep forward a bit to the line.

Gearbox and clutch are very nice. No noises from either and shift action is nice and smooth. Clutch is not too heavy and very easy to drive.

Rear diff is a 2way and is nice and tight but does not clunk or shudder. but on tight carpark turns it will lock up and you get a little wheel spin from the inside wheel which is trying to turn less than the outside. this is the behaviour of a healthy mech LSD.

The interior is in excellent condition. No sagginess in the seats or marks anywhere. Floor mats are nice and clean and the carbon on the dash is top quality. For anyone who doesn't know who Robson is look them up in google etc. They do amazing work.

I don't know what else I can say. It's an amazing GTR. Being a Tommy Kaira edition adds some rarity to it with the build plate etc but on top of that it's a very neat car with some very pricey bolt on parts. Brakes alone over $10K, nice wheels, top shelf super high performance road tyres, Power FC, top quality inter cooler, radiator and oil cooler, nice diff etc. It's a great entry to tuned GTRs and has all the important stuff taken care of. Very rare to find a car with brakes like this as they are just so expensive to do.

I really want this sold before the end of the month as i am going overseas then so if you are interested don't delay, just shoot me a pm and we'll tee up a meeting.

thanks guys. but please keep the non-sale related posts to pm's etc from now on as it's against the forum rules to post OT in the For Sale section. Thanks. :D

Anyway, I'm posting an update. doing new rego today or tomorrow so it will have another 6 or 12months rego on it by the weekend.

have just moved house over the weekend and really keen to sell now. :down: it's getting hard to manage all the toys. ;)

  • 3 years later...

You know, he probably does have some interior shots...but I doubt he has the car anymore.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
