Thanks heaps guys, if only I had the money.

I was talking to somone in an Import shop (not giving away names) and they told me that the Autech R33 sedan was not able to be complied in Australia because controlled crashes have not been performed on them. Is this true???

HPI had a story on a black skyline 4 door that had a gtr conversion - this is probably the same. Still, if someone is keen, they should check it out - if its done properly it might still run well.

I'm pretty sure it was in speed magazine, not hpi though i could be wrong.. Pretty sure its the one out of the mag..

Its not real, thats the one Ernest Parry built a few years ago and yes it was in HPI. Its still missing the few touches that make a R33 GTR sedan different - ie series 3 xenon lights, interior etc. A propper Autech R33 4 door goes for much more than what he's asking.

there is a ture one up at mooloolabah I have seen it parked there a couple of times but never find the owner :D

is this what u are talking about.....

there is a proper impul version up here yes, had the plates 25.MAT on it, been for sale for ages, but its not a GTR its only a 4 door impul version. with a few tasteful mods.

he has been a member on this site ages ago but havent seen him around for a while.

now doesnt have the plates, only has standard ones on it, i see it most days going to work.

Ok he just got back to me. It has been made from an R33 V-spec GTR with Autech parts, flared rear quarters and door. Made by Skyline Imports QLD.

VIN is 6U9000ENR33005578

Booya,h yeah I was 99.9% sure it was his old one, used to see it a fair bit so knew the trim/wheels.

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
