Hey all.

I've got my R33 GTS-t VERY close to completion, but I've reached a pinching point personally where I'm actually looking to pass it on either as is, or in pieces.

If I part it in pieces I will not pull a single part off until I have a deposit for gearbox and engine (Either separate or as a combo)

The car is an R33 Series 2 1997 model with a manual gearbox (Standard manual).

The car is running a non standard clutch, I would have to dig the exhaust details up, but it is along the lines of a patrol clutch plate, with an aftermarket high pressure pressure plate.

Running an R34 OP6 turbo (Very minimal shaft play, quite good condition)

Engine as far as I'm aware is dead stock internally (Cams and bottom end)

Car currently has a forward facing plenum on it as seen in the pics.

What does the car need to get it running if you bought it whole?

Right now it needs intercooler piping, some vacuum lines run, some exposed wires taped up (About 8 of them). An ECU installed, and it all tuned.

While it runs standard injectors, it does have a Bosch 040 mounted in the tank with a full 3" exhaust. (Can't remember the brand, but it is japanese)

The car when I bought it had a bent radiator support, I've since replaced it with a new one and had the front straightened, fitted a new FMIC (No piping done) and a new reo bar.

Anyway, I've added some pics.

Price whole is either $3500 OR

Engine: $1200 No Forward facing plenum. no exhaust mani/turbo

Gearbox $1500 with clutch.

Contact: Either PM me on here, I'm on here quite a lot or SMS: Oh for oh six nein six too three for seven

Feel free to make an offer, the worst I will do is say no thanks.

Car is located in the Wollongong region of NSW.

If you finish the car off it will pass a blue slip, this was my original intention.

and no, the advans don't go with the car, but it will be on standard rims.

So I've had some interest in this, some offers but no one serious enough that they've front with cash.

Would be a good project to buy whole, or to wreck yourself.

Or as mentioned, if I can get buyers for the engine and gearbox, I'll wreck it myself.

On a side note.
The drivers headlight, drivers front guard, front reo bar, and FMIC are currently off the car, and I will alter the price of the car as a whole to reflect this if someone wants to buy it whole.

  • 2 months later...

So I've still got this sitting around, I've done some more work to it, just needs me to finalise the throttle cable bracket, and run one more vacuum line and it'll be able to be started (Not boosted, as no FMIC pipes will be connected).

Unfortunately, even if I finish it, it has to go, so really if I can get some people to put offers in on the car as a whole, or if motor, box and clutch sell, I'm happy to start to part it out.

Clutch is meant to be: 2000ft/lb pressure plate gripping 5puck cushion button nissan patrol clutch plate (Custom clutch Tunehouse have made)

Gearbox and motor in good condition.

If motor sells with turbo and inlet manifold and engine loom, I'll let it go for $1,500 (No ECU)

Gearbox - $1000

Clutch $500 (If it's in bad condition when it comes out, price can be altered to reflect).

If motor sells without the turbo (R34 OP6) or inlet manifold, these will also go up for sale separately.

Car runs a full 3" exhaust too with high flow cat.

On top of this I have:

2x Full sets of R33 GTS-t rims up for sale. Start at $200 a set, or $300 for both sets or nearest offer

One set has semis attached, although they've past their usable life unless you want to do skids only.

Other set has streets attached to it, although with the age of them, I wouldn't run them on the street, again skids only.

I also have a set of Advan RG2 in white, 2x 17" * 8.5 or 9" (Running 235/45/17) other 2 are 17" by 9.5" (Running 255/40/17) - $1,500

I love these wheels, they truly are light weight, and I give no craps if they sell or not.

I also have an R33 RB25DE head that has been setup and used previously on ab RB30E block (Oil feed blocked, and oil feed plumbed into the front of this to run external feed to retain VCT). I have a set of cam covers that can go with these. Has standard cams etc in this head. - $400 (As it has been used, and now off my engine for a bit, I'd personally send it in for a service, this is a cheap thing to do).

Please note I am negotiable on prices, so let me know what you think things are worth.

I will get photos of other items this weekend.

Not splitting the turbo on its own yet.

And second sale didn't quite work out, but because of it, the car is now actually running, and able to be sat in and driven. NO it won't pass a blueslip, it still needs work done.

Car still requires FMIC piping to be fully plumbed.

Drivers guard put on. (Currently not with the car)

Reo bar, and head light installed (Currently not with the car)

And front bumper put on (I have one that is to go with the car, is painted in silver, and is from a 4 door)

Car will also need a tune, but it has been proven a few times to actually start, and this afternoon it actually got moved under its own power.

Price is now $4,000 firm, on standard rims, and no stereo (Stereo is already out), this price includes the Adaptronic Select ECU.

Car does have things as mentioned before like:

Brand new just jap cooling pro intercooler

A forward facing plenum.

R34 OP6 turbo.

Custom clutch (Specified above)

Full exhaust system.

Aftermarket coilovers (From memory Tein Super Streets).

Bosch 040 has been removed, and a standard pump installed, the Bosch 040 unfortunately seized on me.

Car also has the dual immobilisers in it, which I can vouch, freaking work! (Yeah, took me a while to work them out).

  • 4 weeks later...

Sorry mate, ECU is one of the items I'm keen to keep if everything else sells.

Still here by the way guys, and is now running, and able to be moved around under its own power.

Bump! Bump bump it up!

Still got this thing, start making offers if you want to start stripping it people. If it gets stripped, ECU will 99% stay in my posession though.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
