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...

Silver 93' R33 GTS-T M-Spec. Rego YDO-32P.

Engine:

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

Nismo FMIC

HKS Super Sequential BOV

Blitz Airpod

Oil Catch Can

JJR Coilpacks

Chipped ECU

Suspension:

HSD type HR Coilovers

Front Sturt brace

Lower Control Arms

Tie Rod Ends

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

Drivetrain:

Kaaz 1.5 way Mech LSD

JJR Single Plate Ceramic Button Clutch

Wheels:

17" Blitz R Racing Wheels

Exterior:

Nismo Front Bar

400R Side Skirts

Adjustable GTR rear wing

Full Nismo decals

Nismo Clear Side Indicators

Interior:

Bride Bucket Racing Seats

Custom Rear Parcel Shelf

Panasonic Head Unit

Pioneer 4-way speakers

A-Pillar Mounted Boost Gauge

Oil Temp Gauge

White Dials

Momo Gear Knob

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...

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 :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
