Series 1 R33 For Sale.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Due to circumstances (newborn daughter), I would like to sell my R33.

R33, RB25DET 5 spd. Dark grey or charcoal in colour. Paint has some clear coat peeling, but otherwise pretty good.

I have owned this car since roughly August, and have carried out below repairs/mods;

- Installed Mongoose M80 series alarm with the built in timer

- Replaced the apparently new Yellow jackets with Spitfires and a new OEM connector loom

- Repaired the shitty job on rolling the rear guards, was starting to catch on the tires when going over bumps

- Now has Hypergear ATR43SS2 billet turbo with braided lines.Has approx 100km on install

- Replaced the rubbish led conversion installed in the dash and AC and boost gauge, much better angles and visual light

- Replaced brake light globes and HID ballasts and globes due to failure

- Walbro GSS342 installed into tank correctly, was loose in cradle

- Tightened BOV and check all hose work

- Cleaned AACV to improve idle

- Fixed AC, now works properly

- Installed rear strut brace

- New battery when purchased

- New clutch when purchased

- Just re-registered 6 months, as who wants to have to do it at Xmas

Also has a Kenwood DDX-4038BT with a new usb to ipod/iphone/aux cable. Runs front 6" and tweeters, and rear 6x9". It also has the wiring for an amp/sub in boot.

Has Starcorp Impul (with free gutter rash) 18" wheels, the rear a deep dish and run Kumho Ecsta 265/35/18 I think. Front are whatever yum cha tires fitted by previous owner(s).

Has a HDi front mount, Apexi pod and new MAF, seems to be a large new radiator, never shows hints of overheating on M5 peak afternoon traffic.

Car has only been worked on by JEM since I have owned it, it first went in for an inspection and fault finding (was hitting R&R). Turns out previous owner must have been running a piggyback comp and boost tee set at 15psi. Due to fault on car, I didn't allow it to boost until rectified.

Car does not get thrashed or abused, I only work up the M5 in Arncliffe so it barely gets to do the speed limit.

Car is usually garaged, and washed occasionally.

It has since gone in for the turbo changeover, and received a service on diff and gearbox. Turbo was replaced due to a slight bit of oil dropping into front pipe, not failure.

All old parts will go with the car at sale as I would not need them if sold.

On the dyno it made 213rwkw with its minimal modifications. Spoken to Dean at JEM, he implies with a Nistune or Power FC (or Haltech Platinum Pro) it should sneak into the 250rwkw mark easily with a tune.

Unsure about the compression, but motor is strong and healthy.

Unsure how to upload happy snaps or dyno sheet, but can send by email or phone if requested.

Located in Campbelltown area, can be viewed in Arncliffe when at work.

Looking for around 9000ono, or swap for a car more suited to a baby seat, maybe VX SS upwards ?

Thanks for looking.

EDIT * Car has approx 122 thou km, also has tow gear fitted

p.m'd mate.

Replied. For anyone interested, I'm not desperate to sell. I just would like to get a car that I'd feel much safer having my daughter be driven in.

This does not mean I will sell it for 6k or other low offers.

The car is ridiculous to drive in the wet weather, even with 265's on the rear.

New silica front tyres, Accelera or something like that. Has vastly improved the wet weather driving, noted the old front tyres were mismatched tread pattern.

Eyeing off a set of 480cc inj, and a Power FC.. Someone buy this car to stop me spending more money!

BUMP!
