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

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
