For Sale: R33 Gts-t. Yep, Its Time To Say Goodbye To An Old Sau Act Favourite!


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Its time for my pride and joy to find a new owner. Many of you already know my car pretty well, but those that don't, here are the specs...

Full 3" Turbo back exhaust (Titanium from cat back!)

Whiteline Sway Bars

All Bushes Upgraded

HICAS Lockout Bar

Brakes:

DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors

Bendix Ultimate Pads (New front and rear pads fitted 4/10/2010)

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

Front calipers repainted red

Motul RBF 600 Fluid

Custom Front Brake Air Ducting

Apexi Turbo Timer

The car was last dyno'd with 209rwKw @ 11 PSI. It is running the Mines ECU (or atleast a piggybacked ECU) which gives 12:1 AFR's no matter what boost you run. As you can see I had handling and lap speed in mind when I put this together, however, I also wanted it to be reliable when driven hard, which is why only basic power mods were done and why I decided to keep the factory turbo and ECU. It will do easy 1.09's around Wakefield Park with the old Federal 595 RS street tyre. All the suspension componets are adjustable and was installed/set-up by Chris @ Inline. The rear parcel shelf has 2 trap doors in it so you are able to access the top of the rear struts so you can adjust the rear damper. The car is fantastic for all driving types and will impress when pushed.

A couple of things to note is the passenger side skirt has some minor damage (pictured). It is cracked in a few places and I no longer have the funds to fix it. To compensate for this, a set of 17” Volk rims (pictured) will be sold with the car for no extra price. Also the passenger seat has a couple of wear marks on the bolsters (pictured) and the drivers door interior is cracked wear the drivers elbow sits.

This car is a real surprise package. It will and has put more highly rated cars (GTR's, EVO's etc..) to shame around Wakefield Park. Its great fun punching above your weight! The car is unbelievebly reliable and has never missed a beat the entire 7 years I've owned it. It is serviced every 5000 - 7000 Km's and also every time it saw a trackday. Recently fitted new front and rear Bendix Ultimate Brake Pads on 4/10.

Asking $11,000 on Car Sales but for fellow SAUer's I'll do for $9,000 firm. I know you can get newer ones for less money, but this is as close to a unique R33 as you'll get!

No Joy riders or Test pilots please. Located in ACT - Southside. Contact Luke on 0438 481 354 or PM here...

if i had not a track car already i snap it up too!

hmmm, strip grumblebee - put 30 into this - win everything...

Cheers Pete. I hate your avatar. Makes me so damn jealous....

Heh, cheers mate.

Any plans for something after the 33? Or settling down for the life of marriage? :)

Don't do it Luke... You'll lose the title of SAU boy racer ;)

I'd hate to see this car go to someone who didnt know just how awesome it is to drive hard... I have driven a lot of high performance cars in my time but nothing has handled quite as good as this R33.

There are so many memories wrapped up in this car... It will be a very sad day when it rolls out of your driveway one last time Luke :P

BTW - You still owe me about 100 hours of labour costs for the work I put into this car over 7 years :)

Yeah, i know. My friendship pays for that though :P Tell your friends guys, seriously, this is one car that needs a good home. it'll look after you if you look after it...

i reckon Reece should buy it! he'd rule the world with this car :(

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
