Hey all,

I have changed my mind and decided to sell my R33 instead of replacing the engine.

It's a 1993 R33 GTS series 1 with a suspeced spun bottom end bearing

asking 5K neg

ENGINE/DRIVELINE/ETC

  • Factory manual
  • Heavy duty clutch
  • Catback exaust with 3" cannon exaust
  • Engine oil & oil filter changed every 7,500 km
  • Gear box oil just changed
  • Brakes fluid just changed (inc bleading of all lines all the way through)
  • Recently changed radiator fluid
  • 18*,***kms (mostly highway, I live in Whyalla)
  • King Lowered Springs
  • KYB shock (less then 10,000kms old)

EXTERIOR

  • Full viva garage type 2 bodykit (light damage to front bar, nothing structural to the car)
  • 25mm flared guards front and rear
  • re-spray in blaze blue (outside and door jams only)
  • Xennon lights (low beam)
  • stock rims with near new tyres, can arrange for some 17" ROH rims to come with sale

INTERIOR

  • Very good condition, besides wear on right side of drivers seat and wear on handbrake "grip"
  • Genuine skyline floor mats (all 5)
  • Average sound system; 4" JBL parcel shelf, clarion cd player
  • Momo steering wheel with boss kit
  • Isotta shifter
  • Climate Control globes replaced with white 40,000MCD LED's (very bright white light)
  • Ignition light also replaced with 40,000MCD LED

THE BAD

Knocking noise from engine, 90% sure its a big end bearing. has not been driven since the noise started

slight power steering leak, one of the seals in the pump is on it's way out

flat battery, car has been sitting there for a couple of months

This car would either be great for someone as a first car or someone on their p's, although a new engine or a bottom end rebuild will be required.

Also would make a good shell if you have written off your R33 and just need to transplant parts.

Or just make some cash and either replace the engine or part it out

I'm interested in keeping the following parts (price will be reduced accordingly)

Gearbox

cat-back exhaust

The car is currently located in Whyalla SA, but can transport to adelaide

Best bet would be to text me on 0407971706

Cheers Luke

Photo's will be up by 2moro

Not sure how much it will cost didn't get it priced as no one in whyalla (country town) wanted to touch it, if could do all the work yourself it would cost a few hundred bucks in parts

seeing as a low km rb25de long motor can be found for well under $1000 can't see the point in using a 180,000km+ engine, plus it would be heaps easier to replace then repair.

Pretty keen to get rid of it seeing as i just bought a new turbo and few other bits and peices for the 180, so give us a reasonable offer and it's yours

you would have to upgrade the brakes as well (i think it's only the fronts from memory) front calipers and disks are normally around $300 or so

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
