Im not too sure whether it was from a Nismo Stagea or a Autech, i never knew there was 2 different types, but i definately know it was from a turbo Stagea.

To answer your second question, yes i do have a Blue slip which was needed for registration, otherwise i wouldnt have been able to get the car passed. My mechanic told me who checked my car said everything was fine and all i had to do was take the aftermarket air filter off and put a standard one back on just to get it passed to cover his back. The intercooler and exhaust was done by a mob over at Smithfield with the mechanic Dave doing it and the enigne change was done by a guy who i was told about who knew about his stuff and was helped by a guy from SSS automotive with the elcectrical wiring etc. So yeah, everything is fine and on record at the RTA for proof. Also you can get a silencer for the exhaust which may be over the sound limit but for the 1/2 year i have had the exhaust on it, i have never been pulled up about it. But i have the stock exhaust still here if you like to take if you buy the car just incase.

If you like, just give me a ring and i can show you the car sometime on the weekend.

so only exhaust and air filters are defects?

front mount and clutch is fine?

-------

does the car have tints? do u have log books? how many k's have the tires done? air con? how long have u owned the car for?

was gonna speak to u on phone abt that - but i've got a sore throat

Well i know many people with the same kind of 3" exhaust systems and havent been pulled up about it so im not sure whether its classed as a defect or not. The air filter, well, id say in "legal" terms its callsed as defect but just like the exhaust, i know many people with them and havent been asked about it, so im not sure on an exact answer.

The front mount intercooler is fine aswell as the clutch. The clutch had been upgraded to support the stress. Its a heavy duty Daikin clutch.

The car is tinted. I have no log books though but everythign was changed with new soark plugs/iol and everythign when the conversion was done about 5000km's or less ago.

Im not sure how many k's the tyres have done as they were on there from the previous owner but the tyres dont have much tread at all. They need new tread quite soon but im guessing whoever buys it will put bigger wheels on it anyhow and sell the smaller wheels.

Yep the air conditioner is perfectly fine. I replaced the condenser in it and re-gased it so its all perfectly working.

I have owned the car for about, getting close to a year i think, not too sure to be exact.

hmmm i'll take the exhaust and filter as defect

who was the car purchased off? do u have receipt if it was off dealer? what was the reason for engine transplant? how much did it cost? receipt to engine transplant?

are u free on sunday? i'd come down in the morning to have a look at it

It was purchased off a guy who was in the airforce and he told me that he got it imported while he was in QLD. I got it in the tradingpost. I dont have the reciept for when i purchased the actual car off him as it was a private deal and wouldnt have meanbt nothing.

The reasonm for the transplant was because i wanted it to be 4WD and turbo like the GTR, but of course wihtout the twin turbo. It has great handling and traction with the 4WD.

The Stagea engine itself cost $3300 i think with the ECU etc. But then i added the boost gauge, clutch, intercooler, exhaust, 3 point immobilizer, GTR wing and so on.

The car itself cost me $16500 stock non-turbo and the whole cost of converting it was close on $10000. It was either more or less. Little things like the wiring had to be all reconfigured

to match it with the Stagea ECU wiring of the GTS4 so it cost me alone $800 alone for 2 sessions for the guy to come out to get that done properly! I have the reciept for the engine etc and exhaust and intercooler.

Yep im free sunday if you like to see it, just give us a call on my mobile.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
