Its sad for me to do this, but unfortunately its time to move onto a 4door family car.

it has been my all time favourite Nissan & been in love with the shape since i was 14 (back in early gran turismo days).

I've owned it for the past 3~years (will be 4 years in August) and i am the 3rd owner in Australia (got all import/compliance paperwork from when it came over).

During this time, its undergone major changes & upgrades.

Life started out as an ordinary R34 GT with a 5 speed RB25DE non turbo.

Not long after, i bolted on a turbo kit to it, made 210rwkw @ 1bar, lasted about 1.5years before piston 6 ring land gave up (approx 120XXXkm)

Then came the new motor in 2010, with a rebuilt bottom end.

Engine:

Forged bottom end with CP Pistons 20thou oversize

GTR con rods with ARP studs, balanced

standard crank balanced, and fitted with a crank collar.

head lightly ported on inlet & exhaust sides, cleaned & machined

Rego valid till August 2012, the car has done 25XXX km since the rebuild, and hasn't skipped a beat and still running strong. It is serviced every 5000KM with fully synthetic oil (mobil 1 0w40 for first 10,000km, now switched to Castrol Edge 10w60)

The car has been tuned by Jeremy @ DVS TUNING and pulled 281rwkw @ 18psi - currently surges on anything higher then 18psi - not sure why it does this, tried a anti-surge front cover and it didn't help.

Will come with standard nissan exhaust (with cat) and shocks/springs.

the bad:

- minor chips on bonnet

- marks on front bar when it was hit & run at car park shopping centre

- marks on rear bar when it was hit & run again at car park shopping centre

- deep key mark on driver side door

- minor ding on passenger door & rear quarter from shopping trollies

- steering rack has a minor leak but may be able to supply a 2nd hand rack (pending sale price)

- rear right coilover is knocking (most likely leaking)

- pass headlight is cloudy, its getting on the inside somehow.

price: $16,990 ONO with rota wheels - i can remove parts off the car to make it cheaper. also open to swaps +/- cash for a 4 door.

minus $500 if you want veilside andrew 18x8/18x9 wheels instead.

some pics.

I'm really considering coming to take a look at this.

Looks pretty mint, You've done a really good job on this.

I'll be in contact mate.

thanks for the comments guys.

its not a typo turboty,

like i said, it started life as a GT (non turbo)

but its got all the turbo running gear in it, the box is a RB20 running redline shockproof Gbox oil with G70 nulon treatment.

forgot my phone #, how silly - 0413544494

price is negotiable and open to swaps!

Wow dude, sucks to see your selling it.

Has been great to see you mould this from an average NA to something extremely unique with power to match.

I know from your early posts that you were extremely passionate about the car and looked after it well.

Hope you find something else you can put your ideas into.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Adam :)

It is sad for me to sell and it will be missed but its time for me to move on to a family car.

forgot to mention that the car is located near Liverpool after hours or Gladesville during business hours.

Cheers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
