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

Come on people, the worst I can do is say no to an offer!

Not desperate, but would like my daughter in a more accommodating vehicle..

Due to a pest of a person forever promising he is *approved* for his personal loan and a complete tool, I would like to part ways with my R33 more now.

Looking around the market, I would say price drop to $7,500 ono might be more fitting ?

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!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
