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)

ah man id buy this in a heart beat if it was in my price bracket!

Im still looking for a tidy 32 or 33 gtr, every time I find a good one there is something off putting, with 32's its mostly rust rust rust! And 33's crash history and damaged underbody's.

Good luck with the sale!

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
