Well I just managed to wreck my pristine 95' R33 GTR.

Only done 68km, she's sitting in a yard right now. I don't have a precise idea of all the damage, but afaik the engine should be intact as well as plenty of other things, at least 2 of the wheels are fine, seats, dash, brakes etc. etc.

I'm not much of a mechanic, so I'd prefer to avoid parting it out myself

if anyone here is interested in buying the wreck from me, it is available for inspection around ryde, my phone number is 0425222753.

I will update this post tomorrow with pictures and more information when I check out the car. I'm sure there's a lot that can be salvaged from it. The car impacted a tree on the passenger side, however the damage to the front is not too extensive.

Just give me one day to get down to the yard, get some pics and get a better idea of the damage. The tower hasn't gotten back to me : /

Ok well as you can see the car is pretty beat up. Smashed in from the side, some damage to the front - virtually no damage to the rear or driver's side.

The engine should be ok, not so sure about the timing belt? the pictures are pretty acccurate, the front has been crunched a bit, but it doesn't really get as far as the engine.

All the brakes are fine.

1 out of the four wheels is damaged, I put a pic up of one of the wheels where the tyre was dislodged, but I couldn't see anything actually wrong with the wheel.

winshield = cracked

Drivers seat & dash are fine, passenger seat is pretty messed up. Back seat may be salvageable but its been knocked a bit. Generally the interior is in good shape.

As for the rest of it mechanically, have a look at the pictures or call me up and I'll show it to you (0425222753)

I'm hoping to find someone to buy the wreck as is.

Its 68000km, first australian owner, all stock. hoping for something around the 8k mark. I'm not a mechanic, but I'm expecting most of the car to be mechanically sound and I know the engine alone is worth a decent bit.

I'm happy to show it to people or answer any questions to the best of my ability and am of course willing to negotiate. If I can't make a decent deal on the wreck as is then I'll consider parting it out.

the fatz strikes again..

Sorry to see this OP, looked like a nice car :(

Yeah it was, I was loving it for the whole month I had it...

The accident totally took me by surprise, I wasn't even doing anything that crazy, I came into a corner doing like 65-70. The corner would've only been like a 30 degree bend, but it wasn't rounded, like you come into it and then have to change direction sort of. I must have given it too much power, too quickly, coming out of the corner because the car suddenly lost traction - skidded to the right/then to the left and came all the way around to crash into a tree on the passenger side with the car facing the way it came...

I realised about 2 weeks ago that apparently the car had retreaded tyres on it and made a note to replace the tyres ASAP. But I was a bit strapped for cash since buying the car and hadn't gotten around to it.

I don't know anything about retreads except that they're supposed to be pretty terrible. I wonder if getting some decent tyres would've saved my ass?? Compared to any other cars I've owned the gtr handled like it was on rails, but it did surprise me a couple times how easily things could go south if the grip did give.

Here's a "before" pic lol:

My life plan now is pretty much save up money and not make the same mistakes twice. If I get another GTR I'd get the best tyres possible, take it to a track asap to get the best driving education I can and insure the f**k out of it lol. I pretty much just figured I wouldn't crash it, since I've never crashed anything else. before

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
