Drive through Springvale windows down, random comes up and says nice ride man...thought he was trying to rob me...it's just been that long since anyone has received a compliment in an R33.

Bet you get an EPA in the mail

It has it in the video name :D

Oh.

I'm on my phone can't see that shit.

Called the engine builder who built the car and engine. He basically said to me I'm an idiot for selling it, and the previous owner was another Idiot to spend so much and sell it to me..

Apparently a "very serious" build with no shortcuts on this one..

Now I don't know if I should sell it

Once you have decided to sell - do it.

I lost too many nights of sleep debating selling/not. Took me a month to post it up... But overall glad I sold it... On to bigger and better things as they say.

That said I miss the car, bad.

After driving a mates GTR @ DECA on Sat, just reaffirmed just how well my car was setup with a no expense spared attitude.

Not saying my mates wasn't done right, his is a daily so it needs to be driveable and not have 1.5 way diffs like mine etc.

Ah :(

This isn't normal for an R33 Gts-t

Most be an ulterior motive

yeh its already up for sale anyway. So i guess I'll just keep it at the price its at and if someone gives me an 'offer i can't refuse' then it'll be goodbyes.

Haha got the same compliment yesterday. Hang in there!!! Only a couple more years until all skylines have rusted away haha

lol... every sinngle compliment I get for my car starts with "I don't normally like 33's BUT............"

Yeah I got told the same, and now it's "I don't like Fords but.."

"I still don't..."

Haha!

10 years ago a R34 GT-t was unheard of and fetched well over 40k!

Haha Dezz did well. Sold his at the peak of the boom. Stocktraderdezz

R32's used to be $15k. Now they $4000

It's hard justifying a respray which costs more than the car :/

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
