So after wanting one for about 5 years ('99 I test drove a R32 Gtst and wanted to buy it then but things were stacked against me, and since then I have been overseas a lot) I finally got my skyline.

Bought it from Dean from UPI so some of you may have seen it before, its a Midnight Purple R33 GTR which I'm stoked with.

Picked it up on Tuesday night and have been to busy driving it to post on here since then ;)

Here's what I know about it

- full Trust exhaust

- Trust Intercooler

- Cam Gears

- Ohlins Coilovers

- R34 GTR Wheels

- Tuned by Ben from Race Pace running 15psi boost... and made ~270 kw at the wheels (anyone who knows Ben, knows he dynos his cars conservatively - not on shootout mode)

It's pretty clean, and stockish which is what I want... still got more than enough power for me - and as a mate said if I ever think its not quick enough, just don't drive it for a week heh - but we'll see :D

I think the first thing I need to do to it is get spacers for the wheels to make them sit flush with the guards.

There are photos in the gallery here (I need to delete some - to many of the same place but can't figure out how to delete photos) or you can check:

If you see me around feel free to say hi ;)

P.S. Thanks to my mate DentR33 for finding this car and helping me look at others!

Yeah i was going to go on the cruise down GOR on sat, but took my mate to pick up his Gtst from RacePace after it had been 'upgraded' :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
