Immaculate R33GTR V-Spec 60,000km for sale

This car is in as new condition and is a genuine V-Spec - owned by a mature owner

Engine was rebuilt with performance parts by Crawford Mechanical Townsville in late 2005 and has only done 5000km since.

JUN 280 deg camshafts

JUN cam gears

titanium valves/springs

ported/polished

Cometic head gasket

new N1 oil pump

new water pump

new crankshaft

Apexi power FC

Apexi AVCR

Apexi air intake kit

300ZX air flow meters

Twin turbosmart BOV's

Trust SS dump pipes and Y -pipe

metal cat

Heavy duty clutch and lightened flywheel

The car came delivered with Tein suspension and 80mm SS Nismo exhaust and is in pristine condition.

I looked all over eastern Australia for the cleanest most original GTR in 2005 and found this one after months of searching - it is much netter than the pictures depict.

Those who know the car in north QLD will attest to its condition and performance - it is a very quick car and delivers its power smoothly due to the fast spool up T517Z's. It made over 300kW at all four wheels at 1.4bar of boost. Peak power at 2 wheels was close to 370rwkw.

Now comes the sad part. Recently the engine developed a rattle and it has been initially diagnosed as a big end or broken ring.

I do not have workshop facilities and am selling the car as is. I am looking at offers close to $30,000 but am negotiable.

I suspect the cost of parts to be minor and most of the repair cost to be labour.

If you have workshop facilities or are a little bit handy I'm sure this will be a low cost repair.

Please call me Robert on 0418 910501 or email me or call 07 4091 6155 during office hours

Hey Thanks Joe,

I really need to focus on my business right now and the funds would be better spent there. I will buy another performance car in the future. If you are talking to people, the repairs should not be too massive (I have not opened the engine however but stopped the car as soon as I heard it - I was on a short run not far from home. I did drop the oil and there is only a tiny amount of very fine metal in it - the particles are very fine about the size of white pepper).

Who ever takes it on will end up with a great car - it was professionally rebuilt with all forged bits and the head work is nothing short of brilliant.

Rob

As above,but wouldn`t you be in a better position to sort out the problem first?

Yes IRISH, your'e probably correct. Right now I do not have the time nor energy, nor do I want to spend any more money on the car (all up it owes me something like $70,000 already - I paid $42,000 for it in 2005 and then all the mods - as I say I travelled from Cairns to Sydney and Melbourne and places in between until I found it - It is a truly great car but I guess I'm over it now and really need to put the funds to better use. I would consider trading something of much lesser value.

I realise the market for GTR's has dropped significantly. It has to go so I'm dropping the price drastically. I will take the best offer over $20,000.

At this price you could slip in a new N1 engine form Just Jap or buy a front cut and create an absolute weapon. I am also prepared to share freight costs up to a reasonable limit.

The car must go.

(by the way I own it outright and it is registered until November 2008)

sorry to hear the bad news with the engine mate, a few questions:

do u know exactly what is wrong with it?

have you been quoted to repair it?

what year is the car?

cheers

Hard to tell until you open it up. No quotes - who would do that?

It's a 1996 model.

Looks like broken rings from the experts I have spoken to. Engine runs but rattles. It may be sold

however - a guy from Gold Coast has done a money transfer yesterday into my account as a deposit. I will not see that in my account until later today or tomorrow - then I will know if he's for real.

Please phone me on 0418 910501 maybe tomorrow if you are still interested. It is truly a magnificent car (with a damaged engine!)

Regards

Robert

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
