it would be MUCH cheaper to sell up and buy a 33r that is already modded and midnight purple....

While I agree, and to be honest that was my original intention.

All the ones I looked at (14 over a 3 month period) had far too many cable ties and no proof of purchase to back the claims of all the marvellous modifications the young gentlemen claimed to have made. I was also surprised at the amount of GT-Rs that are only driven to church on sunday by their grandmothers

Stage 1 plus injectors, plus pipes, plus -9s, plus sump, plus fuel pump, plus lots of other goodies that seem to cost more than the original car.

Nice! Nice!

What power output you looking for?

Having said that, after looking around at many of the R33 GT-Rs on car sales and going to see them, I am more then happy to spend the money on a reliable build that is done by a shop with a very good reputation.

Chris seemed very professional, and while perhaps higher priced than some builders his shop had a lack of hammers that was of considerable comfort

He's one of the best along to charge accordingly.

+ There is more to it then just building the engine as I am sure he has explained to you.

I am after 300-333kw (333 is good for my OCD) at the pretty wheels I will buy for it

Yes, Chris was most helpful

From the look/build of most of the young gentlemen one could assume that the local McDonalds car park is as far as their car went

That is of course at a gentle speed, and in the afore mentioned car park not revving it to its limit to impress the like minded young ladies that enjoy the company of a man with a ruined motor vehicle

That should be easy with -9's and a built engine.

Along with Dale and Luke who help out tremendously.

Yeah, well at least you found one that is to your standard.

Hope all goes well!

When's the build starting?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

330... don't bother building it until (if) it pops... an unopened 25 will do that let alone a 26

There was a young man there who I spoke to, and to my shame for the life of me I cannot remember his name, he was very nice and very helpful.

Well that depends on a few factors, tax returns, the 6 numbers for tattslotto and Chris working out I am his 100,000th customer and building it for free as a promotional event hehe

Build will start hopefully in 2 months time.

I would like the peace of mind of reliability and giving the cost involved, I believe that rebuilding suits my requirements best

but what he is saying is that you dont have to spend the money until it pops. all the bolts can still be used after you have rebuilt the popped engine. save some kesh!

I understand, money is not an issue, can always make more

Now standing next to a broken GT-R on the freeway is an issue

It's always worth the thought...

I had a 300+ rwkw RB25 that was leant on for 3 years, which I then replaced for $1000 with another that is still going strong

you can do this 4/5 times before you come close to the cost of a build, and when a built motor lets go, you just blew a LOT of cash.

just food for thought... you can always build later if you decide you need to be in the 400 club

[SLINKR33]

and when a built motor lets go, you...

go back to the nice man who built it and flutter your eyelashes
