96 S2 R33 Gts25t Kr4 Silver,manual, 105,389km, Hail Damaged, Suit Track Car, Part Out Etc


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have a 1996 KR4 silver R33 Gtst which has been written off in the past due to hail damage. It was since re registered in Victoria by the previous owner. I then bought it to use as a track car but plans have changed due to a change of circumstances.

It would probably be worth more to part out but I don't really have the motivation or engine crane etc to do this.

These photos were taken with the car dirty and at it's worst, I don't want to hide anything from potential buyers. My cat has been walking on it as well as she lives in the shed, but she hasn't been allowed in the interior.

Anyone is welcome to come and perform a compression test and test drive the car in the driveway (rural property) It is unregistered though so I wouldn't be able to let someone take it on the road without a trade plate.

Details:

1996 Series 2 Gts25t

105,xxx kms

Complied

Economic write off against VINs

*Comes without front seats or front brake calipers, may put s14 calipers on though for ease of transportation*

Good points/mods

Motor runs well, nice and quiet, drove it back from Victoria, didn't miss a beat.
Gearbox is great, goes into gears easily, no syncro issues.
Exedy single plate clutch
Splitfire coilpacks
Custom front mount intercooler painted black and stainless piping
Custom turbo back exhaust
Advan tri spoke 17" wheels (ordinary offsets)
Nismo front strut brace
Master cylinder stopper (cheap brand but does the job)

GKtech ABS delete kit fitted (all factory brake lines in the boot along with ABS module)

Schroth tow strap

Most bushes look to have been replaced with Whiteline yellow urethane type

Alpine head unit, rear speakers and amp

Just did a service (timing belt was still original) which included the following
Brand new gates water pump fitted 0km ago
Brand new gates timing belt fitted 0km ago
Brand new japanese idler and tensioner pulleys fitted 0km ago
Brand new genuine rocker cover seals fitted 0km ago
Brand new genuine nissan crank and cam seals fitted 0km ago
Freshly rebuilt brake master cylinder
Brand new genuine nissan pcv hose
Brand new leather gear and hand brake boots with black stitch

Pictures shown of old seals, old rocker cover gaskets, old timing belt and tensioner, idler etc. I do have photos on my phone somewhere of when I was in the process of fitting the new water pump, idlers, seals, belt etc which I will try and upload later.

Bad points

Hail damaged body + paint is a bit ordinary in spots
Pushed out dint in rear right quarter where someone had kicked it
Guards flared roughly with jack handle and have light surface rust where the paint has flaked off
SkylinesAustralia stenciled across bonnet by previous owner
Boot leaks water in somewhere, boot floor has a bit of light surface rust from where water has been sitting

Temp gauge in cluster doesn't work accurately, have swapped with a GTR cluster I had sitting around to test engine temps and it read within normal range

Rear brake pads are low but still work

Dash has a few marks where double sided tape has been on there by the looks of it and also the radio surround, cluster surround plastic trim has some damage as in pics

**Comes without front seats, or front brake calipers or lines although I have a pair of s14 turbo front calipers and rotors I may fit just to make it easier for people to move without relying only on handbrake.**

These can be left on/in the car for someone to drive around driveway and check engine/ gearbox for themselves/ drivers seat can be left in to load the car onto a trailer if required.

Price: Asking $3000 although I am negotiable, don't hesitate to throw me an offer if you think this is unreasonable or too high.

Price drop!!

$2500 byo battery.

I found some pics of when I was doing the timing belt kit, water pump and seals. No shots of the rocker cover gaskets or cam seals but they were done at the same time and I do have receipts for the parts.

The first time I did the crank seal I used a non genuine seal and it leaked so I have replaced it with a genuine Nissan seal which has fixed the problem. The engine has no leaks whatsoever now.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
