Hi Guys,

Selling my pride and joy. Time to move onto bigger and better things (such as a work car).

Here's some information on it:

Price: $18,000 - Really quite firm on this.

Make/Model: 1995 Nissan R33 GTR (Series 1)

KMS: 92,000

Service History: I'm religious about this. Has had it's 100,000km service done by Racepace along with all engine mods. Only use the best fluids.

Accident History: I found out that it had a knock to the rear left quite a while back. Seller didn't inform me of this, was only the mechanic to point it out. Wasn't anything serious though.

Rego until 06/13

No RWC. I don't have the time to get this done as I run a small business that takes up every day. It won't need much as it is really well kept.

Location: Croydon, Victoria 3136

Comes with heaps of receipts and information.

Engine Mods:

A'pexi Super Suction Kit + pods

Cold Air Intake (home made)

Blitz FMIC (stock piping)

Bigger fuel pump (unknown brand)

Power FC + Hand Controller

Garrett GT2860-7 Turbos running 16psi

Adjustable Actuators

Racepace Adjustable Cam Gears

Full 3" Trust Titanium Exhaust with 4.5" tip. Very awesome sounding.

BRAND NEW Excedy Single Plate HD Clutch. Surprisingly light on the foot.

Oil Cooler + Catch Can

Fully rebuilt rear diff (cost a heap!)

Brakes / Suspension:

Tein Coilovers. Height adjustable only.

Adjustable rear camber arms (in box)

Adjustable front toe arms.

Standard Brembos front and rear (black calipers)

RDA Slotted Rotors (Front)

Slotted Rotors (unknown brand) rear

EBC Red Stuff Front Brake Pads (will stop you on a dime!)

Wheels / Tyres:

Lenso 18 x 9.5" Black mesh rims with red lip.

Kuhmo KU36 255/40/R18 Tyres. These weren't cheap. Incredibly grippy.

Exterior:

Nismo style stripes. Red White and Grey with checkered flag effect.

Full carbon fibre bonnet.

Freshly painted rear wing. Bought this with a duckwing, didn't like it very much so bought a GTR one.

SAU-Vic Stickers (very cool)

Interior:

Pioneer Head Unit

4 x Sony 6" Splits

Earthquake 4ch amp

Kenwood 12" Subwoofer in box

Fire Extinguisher

Dyno Figures:

284.8wkw @ 16psi. This would be roughly equivalent to 260awkw. Could easily crack 300kw with a bit more boost. I decided to keep to 16psi as this is pretty much a daily / impractical work car.

Bad points:

Front bar has stone chips (See photos)

Lower part of front bar is a bit worn.

There is a small "gash" on the rear passenger quarter panel. It started off as a scratch and has opened up in the last couple of weeks. I would think due to the fluctuating temperature of Melbourne. I think the price reflects this as it wouldn't cost much to have it fibreglassed up.

So as above I'm chasing $18,000 for this car. It's incredibly responsive and quick, whilst having the coilovers adjusted for street softness and practicality. Considering I paid roughly $25k for this 3 years ago, and have spent at least another $10-15k on it I think it is a magnificent buy. Unfortunately the market isn't fantastic for sellers and I need to have this gone within the next month or so. I am a bit firm on the price, although can be negotiated slightly if a keen buyer comes along.

I'm able to be contacted at 0400531138 or send a PM on here. I don't live at the house that the car is at any more, but am a 10min drive down the road so please give me some warning if you want to come look at the car and go for a test drive.

Please see pictures below!

Cheers,

Ash

In its current state I would very hesitantly take 16k. I have some quotes to get that rear quarter panel fixed for around 1k so I would add this after I get it fixed (hopefully late next week).

When you see nice 33's going for around 10 I am so surprised it hasn't sold by now. I paid roughly 25 for the car 3 years ago and have put at least another 10 into it. I know you don't get your money back but I didn't expect to have to go this low :(

The car looks really nice and I saw it first when I was GTR hunting on carsales, but yeah it's definitely a buyer's market at the moment. I picked up my series 2 R33 GTS-T with 260rwkw for 8k. I've only had my car for two months and I'd love to upgrade to a GTR but at double the price i'm wondering is it really twice the car. I honestly don't know because I haven't been in any skylines besides my own. What do you reckon?

Edited by jukic.j

Depends what you want it for.. but YES its worth the extra cash.!

just think 260kw at 2 wheels, now imagine that at 4 wheels........

obviously not twice as quick, but you get the point i hope..

I realise that GTS-T's do go for that amount, but after having a GTR I'd never go back to rwd (I've had a s13, tt soarer, r32 gts-t beforehand). It's a completely different car in comparison. Feels much more responsive and powerful across the whole rev range, brakes are incredible, interior is much more race-spec and that awd is such fantastic engineering for the car's age. You actually feel like the thing is on rails.

Not just performance-wise but I think stylistically it's much nicer- looks tuff as nails from all angles.

Speak to any GTR owner and they'll agree, there is no comparison to the GTS-T ;)

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
