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!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
