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!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
