Hey All,

I've decided to put my R33 up for sale because I want to go in a different direction. Not interested in swaps for bikes/4wd's/falcadors - may consider another skyline (GTR/R34) but mainly after cash.

Car is serviced every 5000km with Mobil 1, recently changed spark plugs and did a compression test - car has perfect compression on all cylinders. Car is always warmed to temperature before driven, and idled for a minute before shut off

RB25DE, stock internals

R33 RB25DET ECU and Injectors

Apexi AFC-Neo fuel controller (New SAFC)

R34 Turbo

R34 SMIC

Water + M/Ethanol spray injection (boost controlled)

Splitfire Coilpacks

Ball valve manual boost controller

17x8 & 17x9 jap rims with good tyres

R32 GTR Gearbox (with Redline Lightweight Shockproof oil)

GTR ultra lightweight billet flywheel

GTR Excedy HD clutch

Rear Active-LSD

ABS

Tien super street coilovers in the front, lowered springs in the back

Genuine Xenon headlamps

Freshly regassed AC

4Ch JVC AMP, 12" sub, 6.5" Kevlar splits, pioneer CD player (great acoustics/treble, good midrange and bass)

Alarm/Immobiliser & Remote central locking

Car made 164kW on 9PSI at all 4 wheels on the GT Garage Dyno, fuel mixtures were out a fair bit (lean down low, excessively rich up top) the boost is now at 10.5PSI and has been tuned to correct fuel mixtures which gave a massive performance gain, probably ~ 180kW now (I’ll put it back on the dyno on the 17th). Car is mechanically in top shape, 190,000 km on the clock, looks to be genuine (no sign of tamper) and was N/A until 180,000 (so it’s had an easy like for an RB25). The body however has a few spots I'm not happy with, but it was used a daily driver - wouldn't drive a show car to the shops.

I bought it of a uni-kid nip stock with an exhaust and a lot of rice/stickers, fixed it up as best I can, did the turbo conversion and tune myself. Car is on 15 Degree Ign timing (standard) with no detonation issues. It is incredibly snappy and responsive, with It's short gearing (4.36:1) and the turbo spooling at 2000rpm.

After $11,500

Price drop $10,900 - Disconnected the water+meth, set it to stock boost and tuned the piggy back. Still pretty zippy, and great on fuel. Can refit it if required, but this is probably a safer option for most new owners, no risk of damaging the engine by running out of water/meth, plus cheaper to run. Because the engine is high compression, on stock boost its about the same as an RB25DET (with the same mods) on ~ 8-9PSI.

dyno sheet, before and after tune attached (the curve would be a lot smoother now without the lean down low and rich up top)

    • I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.
    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
