Guys,

My GTR is dead after a bad accident, never to be registered again :P Just wondering if anyone would be interested in buying the wreck? The engine has suffered no damage at all and the entire left side has been untouched. I'm chasing offers over $10,000.00

The car is available for inspection so please PM me if interested.

Pictures are available but not very good quality.

Hey guys....thanks for all your pms and for your condolences...I will reveal all the details of how the accident happened later....(hate talking about it.....IT GIVES ME NIGTMARES!!!)

Yes the car is a statutory write off, never to be registered again but the amount of good stuff on it (i.e. entire left side, rear, engine, gearbox, interior, wheels etc...) allows for some serious money to be made...I don't have the time or storage location to wreck it out, that's why 'm trying to sell it as a complete wreck...

  • 2 weeks later...

Car is pretty much sold (less the wheels, I'm keeping them) and the guy promised to have the money by the end of this week. No deposit has been left though and so if he can't come up with the money by the end of this week, the car is back up for sale...

Hi Demon, There is a mechanic down the road from me who is looking for EXACTLY what you are selling. He has had an r33 gtr with a stuffed engine/transmission in it up on the hoist for almost 10 months. He has physically not been able to locate an r33 front cut for a GTR and would happily pay $12k just for the engine+running gear.

If your guy does not come through with the money I can 99% guarantee you will have a buyer. Please PM me your mobile and I will pass it on to him.

    • 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 🙂 
    • 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/
