I'm putting up my 1995 R33 GT-R (non Vspec) for sale due to an impending move overseas for 2-3 years. I've only recently rebuilt the engine and had it tuned. Last time I relocated OS I stored the car for 3 years, and I'm not that keen to do it again hence putting it up for sale, but if nobody is interested then it just goes back into the shed to gather some more dust. Some more details:

Black, built 1995, imported into Aus in 2000 (I'm the 2nd owner here)

Purchased by me, essentially stock in 2003

Mods since then:

Forged engine rebuild, over $40k spent, including CP pistons, Eagle rods, custom CR 9.0:1, head machined, port matched and oil control mods done including new oil drain, tomei restrictor and mines-type baffles, Hi-octane baffled sump and catch can/washer bottle combo. Nitto oil pump, Tomei 260/9.15 cams and gears. Garrett 2860R-9 turbos, with factory exhaust manifolds port-matched and then manifolds, turbine housings, HKS dump pipes and front pipes (ie all exhaust from block to cat) HPC coated. SARD 700cc injectors and in-tank pump, Splitfire coils, HKS Twinpower ignition amp, upgraded earth wiring. New oil cooler with remote filter, upgraded radiator (both PWR), plasmaman intercooler.

Exedy twin plate clutch

Custom hi-flow exhaust 3.5in diameter includes metal low-density cat, varex rear muffler (quiet for daily use, nice sound and good flow when you want it)

Buddy club racing spec coilovers, Whiteline handling kit bushes, camber adjusters and swaybars front and rear

Stoptech front rotors, ferodo pads, ADR approved braided lines, master cylinder brace

Gram lights 57pro wheels and Federal tyres, hardly used

Nismo 320km/h dash, 128000kmm (I don't know how genuine this is, sorry, but it's a Jap import!!)

Variable attessa controller

Flocked dash (same finish as rally cars, I did this to lift the interior ambience a bit and cut down on glare when driving in sunny conditions, but can also supply a dash with original finish)

Cosmetic features upgraded to 1998 series 3 with new factory lip ($1250 new from Just Jap), factory xenon lights ($2500), bumper vents, later type steering wheel, clear front and side indicators

Multipoint alarm and self-monitored tracking system installed

Car tuned by Jim at Croydon in April 2009, running 340AWKW. Apparently it made up to 360AWKW on pump fuel but the 340 was "safer"

I have receipts for pretty much everything done to it. The car is always garaged, has had 2 oil changes with Motul 300V chrono ($200per oil change!) in the 7000km since the engine rebuild, along with Motul RBF600 brake fluid changed recently. I'm sure there are plenty of things I'm forgetting, so if there's a detail you're interested in, just ask.

I'm asking $30000 for the car. I know you can find plenty of R33 GT-R's cheaper than this, but I know first hand what it costs to build one properly, and therefore what they're worth. Everyone who has worked on this car, including Croydons and Heasman's suspension have said that it's in great condition, and they would know better than me.

I'd consider reasonable offers close to the asking price, but there's no need to offer me the 20000 that you can buy some other GT-R for, because I would prefer to mothball the car or ship it to England to use myself rather than give it away. However, if someone is really after a car that I have tried to build properly, get in touch via PM or phone 0419 448 212 (car is in Sydney)

My bad. I forgot to add that engine pic! Engine finished with red crackle paint, and polished "twin turbo" pipe, which has also had a baffle welded into it to reduce turbo shuffle and increase response (read gtr.co.uk for more details)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
