Ladies/Gents, I'm going to be pulling my car back to stock, and selling it as such (not much interest in a very modified car these days). As such, I'll be selling the bits and pieces in my car (and will potentially look at stock parts as a part trade!). Seeing as there's a lot of interest on this forum for building up a tough RB25/30 package, I thought I'd offer you all a chance to buy a complete package... The motor has been built and tuned at Racepace motorsport, and produces a very reliable 320rwkw on pump gas @ 16psi racepace (352kw on Autosalon dyno). It's pretty much a drop in replacement for your existing motor, and saves you the trouble of having your car off the road for a few months whilst you're having an engine built up (at a much higher cost!). Firstly - The Motor has been built and tuned at Racepace motorsport, and produces a very reliable 320rwkw on pump gas @ 16psi racepace (352kw on Autosalon dyno). It's pretty much a drop in replacement for your existing motor, and saves you the trouble of having your car off the road for a few months whilst you're having an engine built up (at a much higher cost!). Package includes: Engine Top End - RB25DET i6 24valve twin cam head (freshly rebuilt) - Skyline GTR Cams - Skyline GTR Valve springs - Modified oiling system restricting flow to the head. - Tomei 1.2mm metal head gasket Bottom End - RB30 3.0 litre turbo bottom end - JE Forged Pistons (Dished) - HPC Coated - Shot peened, crack tested, and strengthened rods - Balanced & machined crank - Blueprinted & balanced during assembly - GTR Oil & Water pump - Tomei Rod Bolts - enlarged baffled Sump Turbo, ECU & Fuel - Trust Hybrid Turbo (T04R front wheel, back cut t66 rear, 360deg thrust bearing) - Trust 45mm External WasteGate - Trust Custom Tubular Exhaust Manifold - Apexi PowerFC ECU + Hand Controller - 16psi boost. - Z32 300zx Air Flow Meter - Aftermarket Jap 550cc Injectors (unknown brand) Ancilleries - 3" high flow cat, and a 3 1/2" trust system up to the turbo - External 45mm Seperate pipe on the Wastegate into the exhaust just before the cat. - Oil/Air Seperator with return line to the sump. So pretty much everything you need to turn a stockish car into a weapon. I'm accepting offers around the 14k mark (street value for this to do yourself would be closer to 25-30k). As I have to replace this motor with a stocker, I'll accept a stock motor/turbo/etc as part payment if the motor is in good condition - in which case, you can have it for $11800ono. SOLD Anyone who has built an RB25/30 will tell you of the troubles they have fixing finiky problems during the build process. With this, you save yourself all that trouble, and get a complete "drop in" working package. I can provide a dyno run for anyone interested, and am happy to show the motor running (as it's currently in my car). This motor makes more power than a stock R33 at 3000rpm, by 4000 rpm makes in excess of 200rwkw, and has in excess of 300rwkw for about 2500rpm - so is an extremely tractable motor. Redline is 7500rpm and makes good power right up till it hits the limiter. Other Parts R33 GTR Seats. These are in perfect condition. $850ono. SOLD Cusco 4.11 LSD Perfect upgrade for a car making good power - this is very responsive, and puts the power down well$800ono. or $700 with swap for standard. Whiteline Suspension Package Includes Bilstein Shocks & Whiteline Progressive Rate Springs$700ono. Note LEGAL HEIGHT!. SOLD Blitz 4" front mount intercooler including all piping required to mount up to factory plenum. $1000ono or $900 plus factory intercooler + piping. 17" Lightweight Jim Head Racing rims (17x8 front, 17x9 rear) including tyres 255 rear/235 front - Falken Azenis ST115). These are in good nick but have scratches on some of the rims $1100ono or $950 with swap for factory 16" rims/tyres (if in good condition). R33 GTR 4 Piston Brembo Calipers/Rotors (front) with EBC Greenstuff Pads Plenty of meat left on the pads & rotors.. $1650ono. or $1300 plus swap for factory brakes. Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller In near perfect condition. $600ono. Note that these parts are all on the car, so they will be taken off the car once purchased. Any questions - let me know. I might be willing to separate the motor if there is enough interest. Cheers, matt

What an awesome weekend! I've gotta go find a quiet carpark so I can keep practicing... Big thanks to Andrew/James and everyone else who helped organise this event. Good to meet you guys in person too! BTW - I was driving the stock 05 silver rex which liked doing handbrake turns! Apparently it didn't mind lifting the back wheel either! Cheers, matt

As the title says - the time has come to sell it.... I've had it for 5 years, and that's long enough for any car - and as I'm saving to buy a house - it has to go... Pretty much everything that can be done has been done... But as I just need a car to drive to-from work etc, this car is wasted on me... I'm looking for about $26500 which is pretty damned good value when you look at what a standard one goes for and what this one has done to it. It's been in a few mags (HPI issue 39 and the current issue 56 and Autospeed), and it's awesome fun to drive, but as I bought a daily, I don't use it anymore. Details as follows: Appearance - 17" Lightweight Jim Head Racing rims (17x8 front, 17x9 rear) - 255 rear/235 front - Falken Azenis ST115) - M Spec Body kit - Drift rear wing - Tinted Windows - Lowered (see suspension) Interior - Razo Gear shift and pedals - Momo Race Steering Wheel - R33 Skyline GTR front Seats Sound System - Nakamichi MB-75 6 disc cd head unit - Focal Poly-Kevlar 100watt 6" splits (fronts) - Orion Cobolt 6" 2 way coax (rears) Intake & Exhaust - Turbosmart Type 1 BOV - Apexi Power Intake Air Filter - Custom Cold air intake - Blitz 4" front mount intercooler - 3 1/2" trust exhaust from the cat back, 3" high flow cat, and a 3 1/2" trust system up to the turbo - External 45mm Seperate pipe on the Wastegate into the exhaust just before the cat. Engine Top End - RB25DET i6 24valve twin cam head (freshly rebuilt) - Skyline GTR Cams - Skyline GTR Valve springs - Modified oiling system restricting flow to the head. - Tomei 1.2mm metal head gasket Bottom End - RB30 3.0 litre turbo bottom end - JE Forged Pistons (Dished) - HPC Coated - Shot peened, crack tested, and strengthened rods - Balanced & machined crank - Blueprinted & balanced during assembly - GTR Oil & Water pump - Tomei Rod Bolts - enlarged baffled Sump - Oil/Air Seperator with return line to the sump.

Drivetrain - Factory Nissan 5 spd Manual - Exedy Daikan Heavy Duty Clutch (Full Face) - Cusco 4.11 Upgraded LSD Suspension & Brakes - Bilstein Shocks - Whiteline Springs (30mm lowered) - Whiteline front/Rear adjustable sway bar - Whiteline Anti-Camber Kit - Whiteline Castor Kit - Whiteline Rear-Subframe Lock - Custom HICAS removal kit. - R33 GTR 4 Piston Brembo Calipers front with EBC Greenstuff Pads - 2 Piston Calipers rear with Slotted discs & Bendix Ultimates Power & Times - 352rwkw @ Melbourne Autosalon '04. - 12.3 @ 124mph with 300rwkw - on current street tyres. Pictures More to come, but here's a couple. As mentioned - I'm after about $26,500 which is good value when you look at the mods list. This is a VERY quick and reliable car. FYI - It's got 10months Rego too. matt

DYNO RESULT: GTR Before & After HKS GT2530
matlowth replied to meshmesh's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Was with the same club (Nissan Datsun Sports owners)... My cams & club membership have both expired, so I'm probably going to join up with the maserati club when my radiator & oil cooler are fitted. Cheers, matt -
DYNO RESULT: GTR Before & After HKS GT2530
matlowth replied to meshmesh's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Geoff, The last time I went out to Sandown, I found all the bumps & undulations on the main straight tended to upset the car under power which is bloody scarey at the top of 4th. Looking forward to getting out there again though (ps. Haven't fitted the HICAS gear yet). Cheers, matt -
Thanks for the reply! Certainly am... I didn't think it was possible for the GTST's to get under a 1.8 60ft time without slicks! As said before - well done and a great time! So is there anything else coming on the car (more NOS perhaps)? Cheers, matt
-
1.6 sec 60ft? How'd you launch it & what suspension mods? Awesome time too mate! Cheers, matt

r33 gearbox ****ed???
matlowth replied to MANWHORE's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Change your g/b oil with some good quality synthetic oil (syntrax is good)... That'll fix up the shifting probs! Cheers, matt -
As ferni said - can we see a shot of one on a car? Cheers, matt
