Sorry about the caps. Just wanted to make it to the point. Here is the engine bay. It doesnt look like much in there. The guys that tuned it didnt look that impressed before they stuck it on the dyno but said that the previous owner had spend some good money on quality internals. Its has got aggressive cams in her as well. I like it better. If you get pulled over everything looks standardish, even the filter is boxed up but the power is there. Like I said tomorrow she is going back on the dyno - hoping to pull at least 270kilowatts, i have a chart from the past owner of 278. I reckon she will come close. 270killowatts with a motor that looks quite stock is great. The only thing they get get you on really is the blow off valve and the exhaust. The blow off valve is adjustable so you can turn it right off. Although I do have a leagal one the buyer can have. Easy to bolt on get defect removed and the old one can be replaced again. That muffler set up (which the piping runs half way through the car) is worth $450. The buyer can have it for free.

Just a question...

If this car is indeed a 96 model... How come there's so much "series 1" about it.

The fact that it doesn't even have airbags alone is a bit of a hint...

Hi Jet2nv. The stuck her on the dyno yesterday and she pulled up an extra 10 kilowatts to 255 at the wheels and said that I needed to do (upgrade) the dump pipe to get a bit more power out her (as the current one is a little restrictive). I was a little disappointed as I do have charts from the previous owers saying 271 and 278. However the guys at Unigroup who I find very proffesional have indicated that their stats are very real and accurate. So not sure what happened in between but the car now does have 255RWkWatts. The plus side however is that it sounds better with the tune and they said that it has slightly more power in the ranges which is great. Either way they did say that with a little more work, upgraged turbo and I think they said Injectors that the car could be pumping a lot more. The car has been tuned for safe driving for prolong life of the car with three settings on the Boost control. One with 180kilowatts one with 220kilowatts and one with 255kilowatts. I have been running the boost on low. She revs out really nicely and sounds seriously awesome without too much power which means i wont be thrashing the motor and Ill be possibly keeping my licence.. haha maybe..

Hi Resident DJ. Mate the honest answer is that I thought that it was a series two 96. The rego papers are wrong as they say 2005. I cant find anything else in the meantime to say otherwise. As you can see from the dude that had it before that's what it was advertised as. If anyone can tell me how I can figure it out for sure. I am happy to make a note here on the forums that It is a series 1. Either way mate the amount of work this one has done. I dont think anyone will be complaining for an R33. Its grunty as hell and fun to drive. I should go out and get a time slip for her.

The old ad (thanks to Jet2nv) is here advertised as a 1996

http://www.skylinesa...3-96-r33-gts-t/

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/188053-96-r33-gts-t/

Theres a link to the car add back in 2007 $24k

I remember this car also the plates back in the days.

Furthermore very few Series 2 came with only with the driver's side airbag.

hey stevedegs , remember seeing this car on here many years back

just some info to help ,

pretty sure you have a 1995 series 1.5 more than likely , from what photos can tell

- series 1.5 has the front grill with the two little small fins in it , anything older had the s badge in the 3 lined grill .

- evident that the seats and door cards were changed , even the dash fascia is series 2 , aswell as headlights . could of been in a hit , thats usually what happens , what better time to upgrade to the series 2 look . but wasnt smart enough to change the grill ?

- and dodgey rego papers are definitly going to cause you trouble

- the air bags are a dead give away as mentioned earlier

never the less hope you have some luck trying to sell this thing , with the amount of cash spent .its a pain in the ass even getting a buyer out to your house these days to sell an r33 , lol - id know iv had 3 - r33 series 2s and a 34 , and its never been easy selling . maybe try sus out your self whats the go with the year model , so thats one less thing people hit you on. im sure its easier to say interior and exterior has been updated rather then trying to say its 96 .

cheers hope this helps

Thanks for that Sky017. All good with me. The buyer can have a look at decide for themselves. Eiether way its an awesome R33 with some serious stuff done to it. I am sure that the buyer will be super happy with it either way. Its tough and grunty and goes very hard for an R33. Open to offers with cash with interested parties.

and Jet2nv from directly from the old add as you were asking about the turbo and injectors:

Brand New Engine Rebuild.

Consists of the following

CP Forged Pistons, Eagle Rods, Tomei Metal Head Gasket, All New Nissan Gaskets, Extensive Head Work, Head stud kit, N1 Oil Pump and Collar to suit, N1 Water Pump & Nismo Thermostat, HKS Step 1 Cams, HKS Cam Wheel, Z32 AFM, HKS GTRS Turbo, 555cc Injectors, Bosch Fuel Pump, Split Fire Coils. There is alot more that has gone into it, but this should give you an idea on the kind of quality parts that have been used.

the market is dead , for what is has i would say 10 k is acceptable , but looking on carsales you can pick a 96 s2 up for 7-8 k . only way is to wait out until the right buyer comes along , may take months to be honest.

some one throw me some realistic offers and let me take some people for a spin!!!!!!! also happy to do a swap for a black manual s15!! with some cash on top!!

Edited by stevedegs

the market is dead because theres so many skylines out there for sale , valuation has gone down dramatically . its funny how the importers still try to get 18k for an r33 skyline . i was going to say the same thing , strip the car so its stock , sell the parts , and possibly get the front fixed up , detailed and cleaned.

you will have much better chances selling , if your that desperate to get rid of it , otherwise i garuentee you'll have it for months ahead .

bite the bullet and just sell it cheaper , you''ll get the same money you would by the time you keep dropping it over the next few months

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
