Picture taken before brake upgrade.

The car began life as a mint stock 33 and has been developed over a period of several years to a standard any enthusiast would be proud to own. There are no shortcuts to an end result like this and all parts and modifications are of a high quality and a very high standard.
The car has been built as an all-rounder rather than a horsepower monster and would be among the better packages available.
All standard items such as a/c, dual airbags, etc. have been retained and work perfectly.
The car has been engineered for all mods and is completely legal.

The engine was built and maintained by Dan of ERD fame and tuned by Richard at Allstar.
The car has had a full and proper respray by B&I Paint and Panel in US 350Z Carbon Silver.

Engine.
Forged blueprinted and balanced Rb25 with Ross pistons, spool rods, arp main and head studs, acl bearings, 6.5 litre gated and baffled sump, Ross balancer, after market oil pump.

Cylinder head is fitted with HKS cams, Tomei valve springs and HKS exhaust cam gear. VCT has been retained.

Intake.
750 cc injectors in billet fuel rail, GTR intake with throttle bodies on a Ranga Billet adaptor plate. ARC intercooler with custom pipework, Turbosmart fuel pressure regulator and Nismo intank fuel pump. K&N pod filter.

Hot side.
Rare 6boost lowmount manifold with ERD custom dump, all HPC coated, Tial 44 mil external wastegate,
Garret GT 30/76r turbo. 75mm Invidia stainless exhaust HPC coated.

Cooling.
Dual core aluminium radiator, remote oil filter relocator and front bar mounted oil cooler.

Drive train.
33 GTS-T gearbox rebuilt by ERD with all parts Chryo?ed. In excellent condition, with a Nismo short shift kit. Excedy heavy duty sports clutch with GTR cover plate. Shimmed 33 diff. Hicas Lock bar.

Suspension.
Bilstein shocks with circlip height adjustment and King springs. Selby (Fulcrum) custom front sway bar to clear the extended sump, rear Whiteline swaybar (both adjustable). Hicas lock bar, new tie rod end bushes.

Brakes, wheels and tyres.
Full 33 GTR Brembo brake conversion with slotted rotors, quality brake pads and ADR approved braided brake lines. DTM Rush wheels 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear, in shadow silver shod with Federal 595 SS tyres.

Full respray in US 350Z Carbon Silver, Tint mart opal black window tint. Pioneer 50 watt cd tuner, pioneer 3 way 180 watt x4 speakers.

So much more, but you get the idea. This has been an ongoing project over several years with the usual trial and error along the way. The package is now complete and fully functional, just waiting for a new enthusiast to take over the care and fun of owning a car modded to this standard.

Asking price $22,500.oo
I am not interested in what you think it is worth, those who have been down this road know only too well what it costs to build a car to this standard. Several times more than the asking price, counting mistakes.
If I cannot get the asking price or close to it, I will part the car out and make more than the sale price so it's a no brainer to me. Don't try and lowball. I am not after swaps or trades, just an outright sale so don't ask.
Some lucky buyer is going to get the bargain of all bargains here.

I will dig up some more pics... Any requests?

And I am selling because it is finished and I am very happy with it. But circumstances change and I want something else to play with...

As to a power figure, it is de-tuned down to just under 300rwkw at the moment for daily driving duties.

This car is among the most complete packages you could wish for, I have watched its development from very close to hands on helping over the last few years, The asking price is ridiculous when you add up what has been spent to make it what it is.

Sorry to see it go Dave and I hope it goes to a home where it will be appreciated and not abused.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
