Hey Guys,

I brought this car 12 months ago and have just gotten it back from having my engine built etc. However, since i started i've had a baby and all the the money i've spent on the car has left me kinda broke, so sadly i have no option but to sell the car and move on. The engine is brand spanking new having driven less than 150klms. So the new owner will have to run it in etc. If it doesnt sell before i run up 1500k's i will have it tuned and post up a dyno figure. It really is a sad day, but i just gotta do it. Details go like this...

1996 R33 Series 2 Gts-t

-5 speed manual

-112 xxx kms

-Professionally resprayed by Candyman Spray Painting in Sydney in Jet Black

-Car gets regularly washed, polished and waxed using only top quality products

Brand New Engine Rebuild.

Consists of the following

CP Forged Pistons, Eagle Rods, Tomei Metal Head Gasket, All New Nissan Gaskets, Extensive Head Work, Head stud kit, N1 Oil Pump and Collar to suit, N1 Water Pump & Nismo Thermostat, HKS Step 1 Cams, HKS Cam Wheel, Z32 AFM, HKS GTRS Turbo, 555cc Injectors, Bosch Fuel Pump, Split Fire Coils. There is alot more that has gone into it, but this should give you an idea on the kind of quality parts that have been used. For exact specs on head work or any thing else please call me and i can put you in touch with the man who built it. I have spoken to many people with a similar setup who have 300rwkw on a sain amount of boost, so that is my aim. The above work/ parts cost me 20K,( with receipts) and has an engineers cert to boot.

Now Tuned @ 271 rwkw

Others Mods etc:

•Genuine Gtr bodykit (Plastic, Gtr copies are made from fibre glass)

•Carbon Fibre reverse scoop bonnet sprayed with a clear coat (with bonnet pins)

ALOT less to buy than what it cost me to buy and build.

Pics of car and build attached to next post, please just ask if you want to see other pics etc.

Custom Plates SLO33R included in sale

$26,000 ono (remember engine work alone is over 20K)

or $18,000 with standard motor and turbo..

i also have a pic showing engine number (on request) with these build pics, so you know your not just looking at some random photo's

Great setup you've created there, i'm interested to know where you bought the bonnet,looks tough..

Good luck with your sale...

Cheers

Yeah thanks, the bonnet was on the car when i brought it so i'm not so sure, but i think unique autosports in sydney have the same or similar.. cheers

Free bump Ben!

I've seen this engine in various stages of build, and can definitely vouch for the quality of parts and workmanship that has gone into the build.

The guy who put this together has to be one of the finest and most passionate Skyline mechanics in the country.

Ok guys, some nice offers coming my way, none of them quite what i'm after, but keep em coming, i'm open to ideas.

By the way, i've got 700k's up on the new motor, so not too long before i get her tuned up.

Will sell now, untuned for 27k. Cheers!

Ok guys time for a bump. To celebrate the occaision, i have dropped the price $4,000.

Have a look at the mods, and realise just how good a value this baby is. Still planning on coming to the SNS next week if you want to look at it.

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
