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

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
