The upholstery looks great on the seats and the inserts in the back seats look very nice. Something the GTR interiors have always lacked a little is that feel of luxury.

I'd rather have leather than all that carbon trim though. That probably makes me old right? Its not as though you really need the weight reduction... after all. 800PS!

lol, you are old! and it's not really weight reduction either since most carbon interior stuff like that is wrapped or coated meaning you have the original part AND another layer so there'd be an increase in weight (pretty minor but still funny). I do find a lot of that stuff does look a bit nicer in real life than in pics. but agree it's not 100% my cup of tea either.

the car went back to TS for new aero kit, retune and few other bits and pieces like full strip down, and seamweld the chassis

I don't know why, but I've got a fetish for cars that have seamwelded chassis's..

The GTR is awesome.

You are a very lucky man, you're definitely going to enjoy that car :ermm:

This car is what I have considered the best GTR ever built I would love to hear the spec of the engine now because this was making 800+rwhp 5-6 years ago what has been done since in the tune up???

hi the spec is on speedhunters, not complete spec but the majority

Well chaps, a little update for you all on the HipoGTR. :smokin:

ive had alot of PMs on the subject of this car, what did it cost being the main one.

i wont discuss the cost of the car, however this may give you some idea

build cost is 20,000,000 Yen (all receipted), plus the cost of the car, plus the import duties (35% for the UK)

The object of the club is to share, maintain & develop the GT-R. I think that this car shows what you can do with some of the "older" RB GTRs.

However, it seems odd, as the last time I saw this car, was at DPA, on a very cold evening post TAS, during my last visit to Japan. I just stood in amazement looking at this 34 dreaming of creating something similar from my existing 34 GTR..

To build a car of this quality takes a lot of time, dedication & the right attitude.

Having looked through the service history, it's amazing. Everything is documented.

From the exact time (Japanese efficiency) to when the Robson interior was installed to the rebuild, to the service intervals.

In order to ship this car with 100% safely, a container was sourced, and the Japanese Newera team, arranged for all the export papers and safe storage out of Japan.

This is a much more expensive shipping option (around 7-8 times more expensive than a RoRo option- approx $6400 ), however I couldn't risk anything on this car, so it was the only way.

There are very few (if any) companies that can obtain these types of pictures of the car being safely placed into is home for the next 6 weeks.

Mostly because, it takes time to do, & the Japanese guys who had the task of doing this, dont really take pictures of their work.

However the Japanese Newrea team knew how special this car was, and they kindly agreed to get the pictures to forward on to share.

tight ramp onto the container...

The car is then ready for export to its new owner.

Just the very long wait now for the car:) so 2011 will be an interesting year for me.

Hi , thanks for the comments

Gio decided to sell, as it was a completed project, which was going on for 9 years.

plus i nagged him for ages lol

Though didnt even think for one min, he would sell.

We have been good mates for a long time, & it was more passing on a legend into good hands than anything.

really happy with the GT-R.

I have no plans other than i have just ordered the R35 GTR rear badge set. It doesnt require anything else (or infact theres nothing else out there for it)

hope that helps :)

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
