Hi All, Just noticed this newbie thread so here i am saying hello I also have a thread up asking questions about a R33 GTR so if anyone can help id really appreciate it http://www.skylinesa...spec-with-366kw

Hate when i read that cars are stolen!!!!! Are R33 GTR's highly stolen performance car???

Anyone??? Need to clarify ASAP please

I downloaded the program and put in the model number from the Vin TAG and this is what came up i noticed it shows GTR/V so maybe that means Vspec??? Bit it didnt show anything else as in factory colour or trim which i was expecting??? http://i111.photobuc.../Nissanfast.jpg

Thanks for that but im having trouble finding a solid link to download it, can anyon help please???

Hi guys, just confirming a few details before purchase and ive been told to identify a Vspec is by the the diff and dash and i got some pictures but not sure about dash??? Any other ways to identify a Vspec R33??? http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/MICKYYYY/diff.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n153/MICKYYYY/dash.jpg

The car has been painted inside and out so door jams, boot lid & boot jams, Engine was taken out with all the K frame and sprayed engine bay then reinstalled, so every panel was taken off the car and rubbed back and all prepped then painted. Also the front and rear windscreen were taken off and once paint was finished he bought new genuine Nissan rubbers to install windscreens and apparently non genuine have issues??? As ive known the current owner for about 20 years and seen his workmanship over the years his qork is great and finish of the GTR is awesome. Spoke to the workshop yesturday and they remember the car and said it had alot of money spent on it and a rough figure of 30k.................

Terry_GT-R34 Thanks for the feedback and another question It was originally white and now been resprayed in purple which is abit lighter than midnight purple and engine bay, door jams have been painted and looks great. would this affect resale as its not original midnight purple colour???

It's abit hard to do a inspection myself as the car is in another state so will probably have to make a day trip to check it over with a hoist, but getting a independent inspection is always good and would be the first thing i do before i make a day trip. I'll keep you guyz in the loop on how i go as were off to see a cortina tomorrow and keen on getting something soon................. Another question is i have in the back on my mind is R33 Vspec GTR's hard to sell as eventually it will be sold, to move onto other projects and thought there hard to sell due to price or people not wanting them much??? any expierence please chime in..........

R31Nismoid Thanks for your advice and concern and i do agree on getting in checked but as my brother and myself have known these guys for about 20 years there isent a need to as there honest and so is the car, hence why were interested and we have only bought performance cars through mates.

R31Nismoid Body is great and the recent respray was done by the owner who has been panel beater/spray painter for about 15yrs and his workmanship is great and he also planned on keeping it so why wouldnt he do a good job??? He took the engine and box out and done the engine bay as well and took about 3 months working every weekend on it, it was originally white and now purple which is abit lighter than factory midnight purple........ Reason why im interested in it as we know the full history and person who imported the car which is a mate of my brother. This bloke been importing and modding GTR's for years now and done all work through a well known workshop and has come at the right price, so if i didnt know anything about it and the right price i would not bother as it hasent crossed my mind to buy a GTR at this stage............... I was actually looking for a cortina/ capri with a cleveland or windsor, mini tubbed and caged, but if something good comes up u buy it right????? Thanks for the advice guys and keep it coming

thanks for the info and ill look into them tomorrow................ One thing i noticed since he had the car that it ran rich when it came on boost so if my brother and i go ahead with purchase we will get it retuned and serviced. Being forged pistons and rods we can probably push more boost through it and make abit more hp???

its twin turbo on standard manifolds

NRB26 Thanks for the prompt reply not sure on year model but will find out What sort of Garrett turbo model would this be??? it starts boosting at 3800rpm and pulls hard all the way to 9500rpm easily Has new brake rotors and pads all round Stock suspension Engine has about 30,000 kms but will confirm and everything used in engine and around was all knew and done about 3.5 yrs ago Last time i went in it he dumped it in 1st gear and spun all 4 tyres pretty hard and when grabbed traction it took off like a rocket

Hi Guys, Knew here and have been offered a R33 GTR Vspec and wanted to know what is worth and with these sort of mods how far can it be pushed. I dont know the full spec's as yet as i have to speak to workshop who done the mods but this is what i know.......... - Forged pistons and rods - Cams and other head work - Bigger turbo's which are Garrett and come on boost at 3800rpm, dont know which Garrett's they are as yet - Apexi fc - Bigger injectors - 20inch rims The car has made 366kw on 20psi at all 4 tyres and this thing moves and sounds great and body is immaculate as had recent respray and interior is good just a couple things to tidy up. Whats the going price for something with these sort of mods??? All advise is appreciated Cheers Michael
