SOLD

Believe me I want to keep her - I've been holding off doing this for months. I've just come to a point where I need to make some short term sacrifices to help fund a long term goal. I just hope somebody will get enjoyment out of this car as they are becoming rare to find.I've currently got a couple of interested parties in line to have a look at the car - I'll keep this thread up-to-date on its status. Cheers.

Hi guys, people have been messaging asking why I'm not providing my aftermarket suspension and exhaust in the sale. I initially wanted $25,000 for the car in this tough market, so I thought I could drop it without these parts and leave them up to the new owner on what suspension/exhaust setup they see fit. After some thought I'd be happy to throw them in for any potential buyer if they wish - I consider myself to be a fair and generous guy, so don't be afraid to ask any questions and throw offers my way. Having said that I wont just be giving this away, she's too good for that. I will consider swaps for an '03-'05 WRX wagon + cash my way - I'll be looking at one this week as a potential replacement, so I'll keep you updated as to what happens with that. I also forgot to mention the car recently had new nolathane bushes fitted to the castor rods. Regards.

Hi everyone. Regrettably the time has come to let go of my second love I’ve owned for the last 2 years. I’m going to be downgrading to a cheaper, more practical daily – The time has now come for me to start looking for a property, so I need any boost with finance I can get. If you're looking for a gorgeous, clean series 3 with sensible modifications owned by an enthusiast, this is the car for you! The details of the car are as follows: Make: Nissan Skyline Model: BCNR33 – Series 3 Year: March 97' Vin Code: BCNR33 041297 (Nissan Fast screen shot added here) Color: QM1 White Kms: 106,000~ Registration: Expires July 2013 RWC: Yes Price: $24,000 (standard exhaust/suspension) – I’m open to reasonable offers. Looking to offload within 30 days due to RWC! Great car with heaps of goodies and very well cared for. Location: NW Melbourne I am the first owner of this car having purchased completely standard from Southern Special Vehicles in Oakleigh for $25,000 with ~76.000km on the odometer in June 2010 – This was by far the cleanest, unmolested example series 3 I could find, so I snapped it up. In the last 2 years I have spent close to $20,000 on modifications and religious regular servicing – Most of the work has been done by the professional guys at Protek Automotive in Thornbury. The general condition is better than you would expect of a 15 year old car – The paint is in very good condition, which minor stone chips on the front bar and blemishes on the rear spoiler. The interior is in great condition (Non-smoker), and there’s no bolster wear or tears in the seats, and the steering wheel is also in good nick. Wheels have slight gutter rash from daily use. Car will be sold with standard exhaust and suspension fitted as required for RWC. This car has been my daily, and she’s never let me down! Here’s the list of modifications that I’ve completed: HKS Hyper-D coilover suspension (will be supplied at extra cost) Work - Emotion XD9 18x10 +18 MGM set (currently has 255 Bridgestone tyres ~70%) Clear Nismo side + front indicators Pioneer Head-Unit+ Speakers 6" 210watt 3-way Tinted windows Nismo Gear Knob Mines 320km/h Cluster NSK-7172SO Excedy Sports Organic Clutch Turbo-back exhaust (will be supplied at extra cost) Bosch 044 in-tank fuel pump 600cc Sard Injectors Apexi PowerFC + H/C 2860-7 turbochargers Gates Racing Cam Gears Clear Cam cover K&N Panel Filter New 42mm Alloy Radiator including new thermostat Turbosmart E-Boost Street Boost Controller Carbon fibre air duct inserts. The car has had Its major 100,000km service including Gates Racing timing belt, pulley, studs and seals. All fluids were flushed and recharged including attessa fluid, both diffs, gearbox and transfer case conducted 8/4/11. Last service of motor oil/filter/plugs conducted less than 5000km ago. Comp test was completed showing 140 across all cylinders prior to any modifications. Currently performs with 276.8awkw @ 18psi on a safe tune. Car doesn’t skip a beat and never knocks over 20. I have all receipts. *THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKSHOP UNDERGOING MODIFICATIONS FOR RWC – IT WILL COME FITTED WITH STANDARD EXHAUST AND SUSPENSION – IT WILL COME BACK WITH NEW BRAKES AND DRIVESHAFT BOOTS FITTED IN THE COMING WEEK OR SO.* I will throw in perfect working order standard turbos, and another pair of high-flowed R33 N1 turbos that need the seals replaced. You may have the aftermarket cat-back exhaust and suspension at an extra cost. The only downside to this car is the 2860-7 turbos I purchased second hand over a reputable member of the forums has a small whine to it. They were tested prior to fitting and were in perfect working order with no shaft play what-so-ever and did not feel rough when spun by hand. Once installed the whine was present and has been that way since February 3rd this year. The car has performed flawlessly and does not affect it at all. I had it all tested in-case there were any vacuum leaks, but was determined a bearing inside the turbo might minor damage due to sitting around for a long period of time or possibly dropped. I just haven’t had the time or coin to rectify this, so that’s why I’m throwing in my two sets of turbo’s to the new buyer as an added incentive. I’m looking to sell this car within 30 days of the RWC expiring – I’m open to offers from serious buyers. You’re more than welcome to ask any questions/drive the car whenever you like. You can contact me on 0406948342 or PM me on here. Regards Steve. *I'LL BE ADDING UPDATED PHOTOS WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK INTO MY POSSESSION - INCLUDING INTERIOR AND MORE ENGINE BAY SHOTS*

lol sorry adz, didn't see your post the last time. I'm not running any spacers, and the tyres are 265s all round. I think the angle/sun make it appear otherwise. Sorry if pic was a re-post.

Took this pic ages ago - Not sure if I've shared. I really need to get out of the driveway and find some good spots for some better photos

Correct. I thought you were talking about how flush they sit - Mine lined up perfectly with the shape of the edges as well. Only problem was the duct wasn't prefectly moulded to the curvature of the bar - I has to press against the duct before riveting to make sure it hugged without any protrusions.

Spot on Chris - You get what you pay for and I took the risk for a mate to test fit on my car. At the time I couldn't justify spending that amount. For half the price you can make do with the copies and achieve the exact same look, but you'll need patience with the DIY involved. You may also need a hand fitting them. If not, by what Chris is saying, the originals may be a better option for some. ML73ZR, I just took a quick couple of snaps as I only just fitted the lip. I'll try get some more soon, weather permitting. Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I bought my 'copy' ducts from eBay - Originals are very expensive to me. They're a bit of a pain to install - They're not a 100% fit. You will need to cut small sections of the bar and rivet to keep in place. Here's a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R33-GTR-Border-Style-Front-Bumper-Air-Duct-Intake-Cooler-Guide-/270948325192?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f15c75748&vxp=mtr Otherwise just type in R33 GT-R duct into eBay and a few come up - They all range around the same make/price.

I finally got a replacement series 3 lip after cracking mine on the hume! I'm glad I colour matched this time.

Too aggressive for 10" wide wheel?

Oh, for sure - We had so much fun doing it! We actually had an even closer race with the same cars/track in GT4 and I won that by 0.001seconds. We can't for the life of us find the replay We've given up racing online - We just 1v1 on split screen now.

My cousin uploaded a video of me and him racing head-to-head with Calsonic R32 GT-R's around Tsukuba. It was a 4 lap battle, with 12 lead changes and a very close finish. It took us a few hours to get a good low-contact race - I took out this race by 00.046 seconds. He's the camera car. Great fun.

Hey guys, looking to for anyone who has/wants to get rid of their series 3 front lip for the R33 GT-R. I've been looking for months and months, and I've only come across a couple - I was either out bided on or just too late and I'm sick of looking! Doesn't have to be in great condition, as long as It's not cracked in half or highly warped. I'm willing to pay good $$, just nothing like $1200 they are new! PM or contact on 0406 948 342. Cheers, Steve.

PM sent mate.

Would be good to see some shots showing the face of the wheel - Thinking of also getting a set (I'm stuck in two minds). I like your style though!

Man that's a top price for the mods and condition, surprised it's not gone yet. Tough market I suppose. All the best!

Any of you R33 owners worries about running this bracket under your seat, there's nothing to worry about. I've been using this in the car the last couple of months, and I can tell you the fit is fantastic and It's sturdy. What's good is the bracket hugs the carpet and extends forward of the bolts giving ample room to move the seat. I'm not a short bloke but I do sit fairly close to the wheel, and there's not clearance issues at all. Nor does it get in the way of operating the lever. I forgot it was even there and I use my car every day. Here's a couple of photos in my R33 GT-R: Oh, BTW on full tilt forward it slightly touches the extinguisher - But I think it's the way I bolted it, so depends on how you bolt up your extinguisher as mine sits out closer to the door than the centre of the car. Hope this helps. Cheers Steve.

Another great DECA apart from running over a dead kangaroo on the way up, cracking my front lip Spewing I couldn't stay for the knockouts also as I wasn't feeling the greatest. Thanks again to the organisers and volunteers for making this a great day/event. Very well organised. Hopefully I'll be there again for the next one.

Alright AASA form sent, e-mail sent with all entrance forms and payment made! Can't wait! Yeah looking forward to it Russ, will be good to catch up - Hopefully I can give you a run for your money! Haha clutch is going strong Ash! I guess we'll see how strong after Saturday Make sure you bring all your 'claimed' kilowatts this time!

Lovely. Thanks Leon.

I have an expired AASA licence, but I'll be sending in the renewal papers tomorrow - Would it be a problem if I bring my current expired licence in on the day if they haven't sent out my new one in time?

Yeah they're the ones - It will look real good with the carbon surround you beat me into buying! haha
