Hi Fellas,

Its that sad time where I'm in an unavoidable situation where I need to let the car go. Im Starting a family and the skyline just isnt big enough or comfortable enough anymore.

History: Have had the car since December 2003, did the RB26dett conversion in late 2008(July/ August). The car has done a total of 114,000kms and roughly 25,000kms after the conversion/ rebuild.

Location: Melbourne

Contact No: 0488500845

Engine Mods:

The RB26 was bought from another R33 GTR and stripped.

- Head was Surfaced, pressure tested, hardness tested, vacuum tested with all 24 valve stems seals replaced, exhaust valve (12) replaces and 12 exhaust guides put in, synchro seals replaced as well.

- Hks step1 adjustable cams with 256 8.7 lift & exhaust (Cams have bee dialled in)

- ACL Metal head gasket

- ARP head studs

- Block sleeves

-ACL Forged pistons(std size) and rings

- Eagle conrods

-ACL bottom end bearings

- Machines crank

-Genuine Nissan Main studs

-N1 oil pump

-Machines & horned block, also torque plated

The rest of the aftermarket parts on the car include

- BC Adjustable coil overs with 32 damper adjustment settings

- DBA4000 slottered rotors with plenty of meat on it

- Kakimoto Cat back stainless steel aftermarket exhaust

-XFlow highflow car

-3 inch front pipes to the CAT

-18inch SportMaxx rims with 235/40/18 tyres with plenty of thread

-Monza Racing front seats

-exedy cusion button clutch 3000kms old

-R33 GTR Standard BOV Piping

-R33 GTR Intercooler

-R33 GTR Engine and Chassic loom

-R33 GTT Gearbox

-R34 GTT TailShaft

-R33 Standard turbos running at 12psi

The conversion alone cost me $16,000 and Ive got receipts for it.

Engine compression on all 6 cylinders tested 2 weeks ago when it went in for a service which is every 5000kms or 3 months is

Cylinder 1 - 170

Cylinder 2 - 172

Cylinder 3 - 169

Cylinder 4 - 170

Cylinder 5 - 171

Cylinder 6 - 170

The car has couple of stone chips on the front bumper, the front doors have 2 scratches on them and the right rear quarter panel has a scratch. The rear demister for some reason hasnt worked after the conversion along with the reverse lights which are not connected. The tacho on odd occassions jumps around but other than that there is nothing else to do.

I have not finished the engineers certificate since I havent had the time but it needs R33 GTR Brembos and an R33 brake booster for it to pass the engineers

The chassic has not been tampered with in anyway during the conversion(eg. drilling of holes to get piping through) and I made sure of that.

As you can tell from the above I build this car on the pure basis to keep it for the long run and only for peformance hence why its an awesome sleeper.

Currently I have advertised the car on carsales and heres the link: http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...6&D=9160486

I have advertised the car on car sales at $12000ono.

In saying that throw me offers and you might be surprised since i need to get this moving, espically if you can take it off me this week

LASTLY: No Dreamers please, if you dont have the cash dont bother wasting my time. I dont mean to be rude but it needs to be said.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
