Anyone Know This R33 Gtr

[perzn_34]

Hey guys does anyone know who this engine bay belongs to?

Trying to tack up some history on the car so any help will be appericiated.

Also by just looking at the engine bay what seems aftermarket except the turbo catchcan, coilpacks, radiator.. and most importantly power output potential??? just by the pic

cheers guys

500-600hp at the wheels and not a penny more

Oh and you'll need to replace the top radiator hose and do the rocker cover gaskets

how would u know this and the gaskets?

also with this setup it would 100% have had a engine rebuilt?

cheers

I know this because I can see it in the picture.

I've never seen the car before

Also do these cams look stock or can they be changed but still look stock? Im just a bot of a noob with modifications

trust stickers are worth 200hp each, and the fuse box that they painted mardi gras yellow is worth 20hp.

To be serious, If we could tell you what it's power output is just looking at a photo we would be charging for that service.

As was mentioned above that top radiator hose is rooted (top of radiator has dried coolant on it that looks like it has had stop leak put in it)

Best bet if your looking to buy it go into ERD and get the guys down there to do a pre purchase inspection and if you want power figures and are willing to pay book it in with Sean over at EFI and get a power run done.

So many people ask this sort of question on a forum how about asking the owner where he gets his work done and check with them what has been done and if it has been dyno'd.

Is the owner a member of this forum if so check previous posts to see if the car has had an known issues and if they were solved here.

The car is fairly heavily modified. It has an aftermarket standalone ECU and has been fully reqired. Looks like a reasonable wiring job too. The car looks like its been looked after to some moderate standard but as you can see from my earlier posts it will need a tiny bit of TLC.

If the turbo isn't blown, it makes more than 150psi compression on all 6 cylinders and it's not flowing oil out everywhere, I'd say you've got a reasonable looking car. Expect it would sell for somewhere around the 20-25k mark depending on what else it has. You can't see the cams so they cannot be identified.

Get a compression test, oil pressure test and possibly pay a mechanic that is local to the car to drive it and give an opinion. Pick a specialist workshop nearby to the owner. Buying interstate isn't fun, but neither is buying a lemon if you don't check it out properly. I would suggest flying over to see the car but you may not know what you are looking for.

Biggest problems after engine etc will be body damage from an accident so check for splitting in the wheel arches at the seam near the chassis rail.

Failing that, what state is it in? If it's in QLD I could take a look for you if the guy wants to bring it in.

Bumpp, im going to inspect the car guys hopefully if i find flights next week, can someone tell me what to look for in a modified car like this?

And also since its using the stock intake manifold and rocker cover could this mean the engine isnt rebuilt/forged? And also howmuch would the a price range to forge/rebuild this engine if it requires later on?

Sorry for all the question guys ive only had stock 34gtrs before, nothing modified. Cheers

mate, honestly spend $75 - $150 and get it to a mechanic that works with imports...

could save you thousands... or give you ammo to bargin the price down...

even if its mint you could easily get 5-7% off anything these days and that will pay the mechanics fees ten times over...
