Hi Fellas,

Its that sad time where I'm in an unavoidable situation where I need to let the car go. Im Starting a family and the skyline just isnt big enough or comfortable enough anymore.

History: Have had the car since December 2003, did the RB26dett conversion in late 2008(July/ August). The car has done a total of 114,000kms and roughly 25,000kms after the conversion/ rebuild.

Location: Melbourne

Contact No: 0488500845

Engine Mods:

The RB26 was bought from another R33 GTR and stripped.

- Head was Surfaced, pressure tested, hardness tested, vacuum tested with all 24 valve stems seals replaced, exhaust valve (12) replaces and 12 exhaust guides put in, synchro seals replaced as well.

- Hks step1 adjustable cams with 256 8.7 lift & exhaust (Cams have bee dialled in)

- ACL Metal head gasket

- ARP head studs

- Block sleeves

-ACL Forged pistons(std size) and rings

- Eagle conrods

-ACL bottom end bearings

- Machines crank

-Genuine Nissan Main studs

-N1 oil pump

-Machines & horned block, also torque plated

The rest of the aftermarket parts on the car include

- BC Adjustable coil overs with 32 damper adjustment settings

- DBA4000 slottered rotors with plenty of meat on it

- Kakimoto Cat back stainless steel aftermarket exhaust

-XFlow highflow car

-3 inch front pipes to the CAT

-18inch SportMaxx rims with 235/40/18 tyres with plenty of thread

-Monza Racing front seats

-exedy cusion button clutch 3000kms old

-R33 GTR Standard BOV Piping

-R33 GTR Intercooler

-R33 GTR Engine and Chassic loom

-R33 GTT Gearbox

-R34 GTT TailShaft

-R33 Standard turbos running at 12psi

The conversion alone cost me $16,000 and Ive got receipts for it.

Engine compression on all 6 cylinders tested 2 weeks ago when it went in for a service which is every 5000kms or 3 months is

Cylinder 1 - 170

Cylinder 2 - 172

Cylinder 3 - 169

Cylinder 4 - 170

Cylinder 5 - 171

Cylinder 6 - 170

The car has couple of stone chips on the front bumper, the front doors have 2 scratches on them and the right rear quarter panel has a scratch. The rear demister for some reason hasnt worked after the conversion along with the reverse lights which are not connected. The tacho on odd occassions jumps around but other than that there is nothing else to do.

I have not finished the engineers certificate since I havent had the time but it needs R33 GTR Brembos and an R33 brake booster for it to pass the engineers

The chassic has not been tampered with in anyway during the conversion(eg. drilling of holes to get piping through) and I made sure of that.

As you can tell from the above I build this car on the pure basis to keep it for the long run and only for peformance hence why its an awesome sleeper.

Currently I have advertised the car on carsales and heres the link: http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...6&D=9160486

I have advertised the car on car sales at $12000ono.

In saying that throw me offers and you might be surprised since i need to get this moving, espically if you can take it off me this week

LASTLY: No Dreamers please, if you dont have the cash dont bother wasting my time. I dont mean to be rude but it needs to be said.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
