Hello all,

Have this car listed on Car Sales so just copying the ad from there. Apologies for some of the filler.

This car is a genuine series 2 R33. Built in 97, it was one of the last R33's. Car has been garaged the majority of its life. I am the second owner in Australia. It was originally imported and complied by Kamikaze Motors in Nunawading. The car has been recently serviced. It has an aftermarket double din Sony head unit that has USB input and AUX input with MP3 support. It has a boost gauge installed but is only running factory boost levels.

Other than the above mentioned items, the only changes from factory are the rims and exhaust. The exhaust is a cat back exhaust and I have a quieter custom made exhaust I will be providing with the car. The rims are Axis 18 inch rims with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres (235's on the front, 265's on the rear). The car also has a larger than factory battery that was purchased about 3 months ago.

Extra's coming with the car (if buyer wants):

- a spare set of rims from a 350Z (rear tread on second set of rims is not roadworthy).

- the aforementioned second (quieter) exhaust.

- boost tap and fittings

- spare dash cluster that can be used for spare dash lights.

Reason for the car selling without a roadworthy is that the ABS pump has gone and I don't want to spend more money on this car. The brakes are fine, so relatively easy to get a roadworthy for if you have the time to source a replacement part. I have had the car for 10 years now. Recently had a daughter so needed to purchase a car that could manage baby seats. It's a fun car to drive and with all these cars it is very easy to modify them for more power (factory power is 184 kw). Car is in average condition for an 18 year old car but still looks good despite its age. I am based in Rowville in the S.E suburbs of Melbourne. Please only contact if you are genuinely interested in buying the car.

You can PM me here or call me on zero four one zero three six seven zero one two.

Otherwise you can email me - dogknight at gmail dot com

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
