Hi Guys,

Selling my Series 1 R33 Gtst, 1993 model Skyline. I'm the first Australian owner, have had the car for a little over 2 years. Someone backed into the rear quarter, so it still has some damage. Also the drivers door and guard need some paint work. Basically the whole drivers side of the car could do with a respray. The front bar and bonnet need some attention too.

It has roughly 120,000 klms on the clock. I haven't had any mechanical issues with it at all, except for when I first got it the coils needed replacing - runs extremely well.

Registration ran out on 18/05 and I'll be selling it unregistered with no rwc. It shouldn't be too hard to re register, take the boost controller off and the pod filter maybe, that's probably all it needs.

It hasn't had too much work done to it, it has the following mods:

Splitfire Coils

Exhaust from turbo back

R34 side mount intercooler

Pod filter

18' XHP Wheels - tyres around 60% tread. All wheels have gutter rash.

Manual boost controller - pretty much turned down.

Timing belt was replaced with a Gates timing belt at 109,000 klms in September 08. Since then, it has been driven from Sydney to Melbourne and has only travelled 11000 klms including that drive.

It has an Alpine CD & Tape player, with alpine speakers all round including tweeters.

It has the original skyline floor mats

I had bought another boot with drift wing from someone on here, but the fktard couriers dropped it I think ( see photo's). Will include the boot. Also will include the stock R33 side mount intercooler.

There are a couple of cracked hoses in the engine bay - you can probably see my dodgy tape up job. I'll be looking at getting them replaced.

The car hasn't been thrashed, it barely gets driven at all unfortunately.

Looking for $5000 for it. I was quoted about $1000 - $1500 to fix the damage and respray, but that was in Sydney. I don't really have the spare cash or the time to do it, so I've decided to sell it as I need a van for work.

I can be contacted on 0458 333 444 or by PM.

Photos can be seen on this post until I have time to put them on again:

    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that green thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
