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!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
