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!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
