Hi Guys

Some of you may have remembered this car was for sale around 8 months ago, I bought it needing some work because a battery had exploded in the engine bay! Not pretty. Since then you will be happy to know that I have stripped down all the pulleys, replaced the bearings, taken off all the covers and re-painted the whole lot. I’ve even re-painted under the bonnet. Since then I have also changed the coil packs, put in a header tank and put in a much larger thermo fan. I can confidently say that this is one VG30DET that will have NO overheating problems! Ever since I put in the header tank and thermo I’ve never been able to get it above 88 degrees, even in the middle of summer.

Why am I selling the car? We’ve decided that it’s time to buy a house and I need $ for the deposit. I’ve already got another modified (non turbo) R31 which will get me around in the meantime – so I’ll have to try and live with that for a while. Owning two cars is too much of an ask when trying to save.

Before I start with the details of the car – I have ALL the receipts for the modifications that have been done with the engine conversion. There has been well over $15k spent in modifications to this car.

Performance Modifications

The only dyno run done on this car by the previous owner was at 9.5psi (standard wastegate setting) – 177.3kw@TW

It is now tuned to 14psi and would have well over 200kw@TW

· New bosch battery!

· Injectors were cleaned and flow checked within the last 2 years

· Malpassi fuel pressure regulator ($190)

· Near new Azenis Semi Slicks all round

· Stove top rear end

General notes regarding the car:

This car handles and brakes amazingly well! There is no way you could ever experience brake fade on the street, the brakes are fully set up for track racing. With this in mind the brake pads used were bought with regular street use in mind (they won’t damage the rotors).

I’m asking $12,000. Negotiable. It will be sold with Rego till January 07. RWC upon sale, I will supply all papers with modifications.

    • Hi guys looking for a r33 Gtst stock exhaust asap in Melbourne have $$ waiting thanks 
    • Jump into the wasteland. Plenty of random posting/chatting going on in there.
    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.
