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 ;)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
