A mate in Perth is selling his R33 GTR that does have N1 block, 88mm pistons & T51R SPL turbo - makes nearly 500rwkw. He wants mid 70's. Awesome car (ran 11.2 with slipping clutch) Would cost well over 100 to build a GTR like this - seems good value to me.

This kind of thing always puzzles me...

Why get a nice N1 block, then hone it out (1mm!!!!) reducing the wall thickness?

1mm doesn't sound like a lot but when you are pushing out lots of hp/ci every

little bit counts. People on here complain about cracking stock blocks with 600hp...

Maybe there is no replacement for displacement...

Agreed, but to confirm & clarify... this car does NOT have an N1 Block.

Maybe the reason for selling was that his nose grew so long, he was unable to fit in the far, therefore unbale to drive it??...............................................................................J/K :)

Nice car, what are the TRUE specs of it meshmesh, I am interested to know. Although I will never be able to afford one (well maybe one day) it would be nice to know what a modded 34 is worth

Chris, I'd prefer not to go into too much detail, but as I was prepared to by the car "and got stuffed around including my mechanics, we where waiting for about 2friggin hours for ross to show up then he rings and says it's sold to a car dealer", I spent a number of days making sure it was the real deal. And found out it was very far from it.

sorry to hear about that meshmesh, but that doesn't surprise me at all. I have never met the guy, but from what I can gather from posts on these forums it doesn't surprise me at all

best of luck finding another car if you are in the market for one. There is a sweet R34 V-spec for sale over here, from all accounts its immaculate and stock standard, in as new condition. Bayside blue in colour, was on carpoint.com.au, and I have seen the car in my area, the best car I have ever seen up close

Best of luck,

Can anyone confirm that this car really has an N1 Block & HKS 2.8 Stroker Kit? Cause I have heard otherwise, and that it may have wiseco 87.5 forgies, tomei Poncams ~260's with a 9.1lft but is nowhere near 2.8ltr?? And the add says it does have a HKS 2.8 kit & N1 Block? And I've also heard the car has had troubles with blowing turbo gaskets.. why would this happen?

Geez, Biatch, Biatch, Biatch.........Sorry dude but the dealer got to the car before you did, first in thats the way it works. Build a bridge. I didnt intend to mess you around.

As for whats in the car i paid Fat $$$ and if you can prove that what i said isnt in the car then my mechanic is going to be doing alot of refunding & going to get a free trip to the courthouse. Still hav'nt received the Invoice for the engine Build, not good that, but no recriminations as of yet.

My Manifolds Block = Turbos, were warped according to the guy in Melbourne & (inproper bolts were apparently used in several places), Who looked at my car before GTA purchased it. Abit of Damage! That shouldnt have happened after 4000km and proper servicing. :rofl: No i didnt thrash it.

Anyways the whole project was unbelieveably expensive & i never really got to enjoy the car & are now thinking that i may have not got what i paid for in the first place!

Currently looking for something else....

Now one other thing guys, i have never gone and made recriminations on a public forum about anyone, with the exception of Trick where i was in the wrong & apologized. (Sorry again) Get the hint???? This is a Skyline discussion forum?

Reason for sale? and why cheaper? Because i have a new job coming up (not in Adelaide) and didnt know what to do with the GTR...Then there was some problems with it and didnt want to spend more money on it!

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
