Tonight's Top Gear Australia Feat. R33 Gtr

[Jez13]

Hello All,

I was putting my 32 in at my mates shop to get new turbo seals and i noticed his gold R33 GTR on the hoist. You guys may or may not have seen it but it has the plates: SECRT

Anyway it is supposed to be on tonight's Top Gear Australia episode - 7.30 pm SBS. It was put up against a Ferarri and a Porsche in a battle of "which car is more attractive to females" lol.

Now I am not 100% confident it will be this episode because he thought it is was going to be foxtel only - it just seemed too much of a coincidence to have it on Monday night. So, give it a watch if you guys arent already and hit this post back with what you thought of it.

(I hope it is this episode otherwise big 'doh' on my behalf!!!).

No idea man. I haven't got any history on the car but it looks like this:

Unfortunately,

just to dampen everyones spirits on this amazing car, wasn't the previous owner of this car sadly murdered?

[KR4-GTR]

dont know if its appropriate to ask, but just curious. apologies if its not and mods please feel free to delete, but -

is this the same gold gtr that a few years ago the owner was murdered and it was at his funeral?

if anyone can recall?

Sadly you are correct, however this thread should stay on topic and be discussing the actual car only.

If the car is 1000HP now, it has come a long long way.

Last time I saw it at UAS it had a T88H-38GK strapped on the side of it but hadn't managed more than ~400rwkw.

I have no proof of the power output. But was the engine bay looking like this?

Yep, and that photo is very similar to the one UAS still has on their website from back when it was in there yard years ago.

The engine was built in Australia, by Advan Performance.

Advan? Thats not very top secret...deceiving number plates! And copy cat painted engine cover!

Like I said, I have no information or history on this car. You guys seem to know way more about it than me. Still be good to see it on TGA

Its been around for a long time and to my knowledge was not 'built' by Top Secret at all, nor was it one of their demo cars as some believe.

[DaGr81]

I've seen it get work done at Advan heaps of times, so it's getting judged in looks only? Crappy, top speed run like smokie!

Talked to John a couple of years ago about the car.

It was basically a stock bottom end copping the abuse with a big turbo bolted on, with pretty engine covers. They found out when the engine finally carked it and they cracked it open to inspect.

All good now though I'm led to believe.

Yeah, this was just on topgear australia
