For sale is my 1996 R33 GTST S2 (Upgrading and yes will add cash to swap for R34 GTT)

232KW at 15PSI (No lag to speak of)

Price: Not really sure what it's worth in today's market but I was offered 10k/11k last time I considered selling it. It also obviously depends on certain things as you will read in the ad;

  • Gear knob
  • Sub-woofer
  • Head-unit / computer
  • Fire extinguisher + custom bracket
  • RWC

but let's for the sake of the forum rules put a placeholder price of 10k post or PM offers

  • Turbo (GCG Highflow, no shaft play)
  • Manual transmission (Exedy heavy duty)
  • Silver
  • FMIC
  • 3.5 inch HKS turbo back exhaust
  • Modified stock air box
  • Upgraded slotted brake rotors all around
  • Bosch 040 equivalent fuel pump
  • Engine bay strut brace
  • 18" DTM Rush rims
  • Apexi pencil turbo timer
  • HICAS lockout bar
  • 4 x speaker
  • 2 x tweeter
  • 1 x AMP
  • Awesome Mongoose M80 alarm saved the car from being stolen once already!
  • Tinted windows
  • 160k km
  • *New* battery
  • *New* PowerFC (with hand controller)
  • *New* 2 x front tyres (can do more tyres as part of purchase at discount cost, have friend who owns tyre shop)

The car has an under front seat bracket for fire extinguisher and the fire extinguisher itself. I would plan to take this with me unless the buyer particularly wants it.

Run on 98

Smurfs blood gearbox oil

Castrol GTX engine oil

Car was broken into and has just come back from repairs. Good alarm proved it's worth it's salt :D

First i'll describe damage then resulting repairs:

  • Door and ignition barrels re-done
  • Alarm siren replaced (original ripped out)
  • New battery (died when they f**ked the electrics and ripped out the fuse box/wiring)
  • Dash replaced with series 3
  • Sub-woofer stolen (more on that later)
  • Head unit screen smashed (more on that later)
  • Gear knob stolen (more on that later)
  • Front bar paint damaged (Going to be fully resprayed by insurance)
  • Right hand side paint damaged from someone side swiped me (Right hand side full re-spray covered by insurance)
  • Power FC stolen and brand new power FC replaced

brand new Power FC manufactured straight from the factory in Japan (3 week wait). Brand new tune from Racepace. Car was doing 240KW on the last tune but not even getting 300KM to a tank. New tune is 232KW (unnoticeable power difference) but gets like 60-70KM more per tank. Haven't got an exact figure because i've only used one tank since I got it back from tuning and didn't get to run it to empty.

This was a vid I made before the car got broken into.

So now i'll address some of the things I said I would.

Sub-woofer stolen means a few good things for the buyer:

  • You can provide your own sub which I can install (cheaper for you)
  • You can buy it off me with no sub (cheaper, lighter, more boot space or whatever your reason)
  • You can pick a sub as part of the purchase of the vehicle and I will install and sell as part of car

Gear knob stolen: I am borrowing one from a friend and the same BYO, buy without or pick and buy as part of car applies as above.

Head-unit: Still in working order. Only the touchscreen is broken, everything else is in working order. It also has a remote control so it could be completely usable like that. I imagine most people will get it replaced but this allows someone to have a fully functional audio system and they can then take their time to do research, find the right head uni, save for the right head unit or do something different altogether.

So the same BYO, buy without or pick a head-unit / computer and I will install applies. Personally I was going to replace the head unit with a touch-screen interfaced computer so that I can run windows or linux or whatever I want on it. This would allow me to do things like:

  • RFID door locks which lock and unlock based on your proximity to the vehicle
  • Give the car WIFI so when I park in the driveway it can connect to the home WIFI and sync all my new music to it
  • Remote car start
  • Display speed, revs, and other diagnostic information on the screen
  • Add NAV, GPS, accelerometer into it for normal driving and for cool stuff like lap-timing or speed runs
  • Add an in-car camera which can record traffic incidents etc to the computer and then when I get home it will connect to WIFI and automagically transfer it all to my home computer
  • Add a SIM card and give the computer 1GB data for $9.90 per month for google maps or pandora radio or whatever you may need to look up on the run, especially if your phone has died

The only thing wrong with the car at the moment that the insurance isn't going to cover is my heater core began leaking while being repaired. Racepace bypassed it and I am in the process of acquiring a new heater core for it and the dash is already mostly out. This also gives me a good selling point opportunity to tell you than I am meticulously cleaning everything behind there. Man those air vents were dusty. 20 years worth of dust I guess. Also because of the coolant leak I will be shampooing the carpets in the car.

  • 3 weeks later...

Bah still waiting with the dash out for a heater core...

did manage to clean a lot of behind dash grime especially in the air vents

learnt a lot about the fuses and fixed up a couple of those that I didn't even know weren't working.

Oh wow really you cant edit your original post, what kind of 18th century forum is this.

well I also have a return flow FMIC and pipes if anyone is inclined to change it. I was going to change it at one point but then decided I liked the look too much and determined now that I have the kit I can do it whenever and if ever it is necessitated.

I also have a stock exhaust system for that circumstance as well.

Oh wow really you cant edit your original post, what kind of 18th century forum is this.

The kind that protects buyers from asshats that would edit their ads after selling a dodgy product. No edit = no lies. :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
