Hi all,

Due to circumstances (newborn daughter), I would like to sell my R33.

R33, RB25DET 5 spd. Dark grey or charcoal in colour. Paint has some clear coat peeling, but otherwise pretty good.

I have owned this car since roughly August, and have carried out below repairs/mods;

- Installed Mongoose M80 series alarm with the built in timer

- Replaced the apparently new Yellow jackets with Spitfires and a new OEM connector loom

- Repaired the shitty job on rolling the rear guards, was starting to catch on the tires when going over bumps

- Now has Hypergear ATR43SS2 billet turbo with braided lines.Has approx 100km on install

- Replaced the rubbish led conversion installed in the dash and AC and boost gauge, much better angles and visual light

- Replaced brake light globes and HID ballasts and globes due to failure

- Walbro GSS342 installed into tank correctly, was loose in cradle

- Tightened BOV and check all hose work

- Cleaned AACV to improve idle

- Fixed AC, now works properly

- Installed rear strut brace

- New battery when purchased

- New clutch when purchased

- Just re-registered 6 months, as who wants to have to do it at Xmas

Also has a Kenwood DDX-4038BT with a new usb to ipod/iphone/aux cable. Runs front 6" and tweeters, and rear 6x9". It also has the wiring for an amp/sub in boot.

Has Starcorp Impul (with free gutter rash) 18" wheels, the rear a deep dish and run Kumho Ecsta 265/35/18 I think. Front are whatever yum cha tires fitted by previous owner(s).

Has a HDi front mount, Apexi pod and new MAF, seems to be a large new radiator, never shows hints of overheating on M5 peak afternoon traffic.

Car has only been worked on by JEM since I have owned it, it first went in for an inspection and fault finding (was hitting R&R). Turns out previous owner must have been running a piggyback comp and boost tee set at 15psi. Due to fault on car, I didn't allow it to boost until rectified.

Car does not get thrashed or abused, I only work up the M5 in Arncliffe so it barely gets to do the speed limit.

Car is usually garaged, and washed occasionally.

It has since gone in for the turbo changeover, and received a service on diff and gearbox. Turbo was replaced due to a slight bit of oil dropping into front pipe, not failure.

All old parts will go with the car at sale as I would not need them if sold.

On the dyno it made 213rwkw with its minimal modifications. Spoken to Dean at JEM, he implies with a Nistune or Power FC (or Haltech Platinum Pro) it should sneak into the 250rwkw mark easily with a tune.

Unsure about the compression, but motor is strong and healthy.

Unsure how to upload happy snaps or dyno sheet, but can send by email or phone if requested.

Located in Campbelltown area, can be viewed in Arncliffe when at work.

Looking for around 9000ono, or swap for a car more suited to a baby seat, maybe VX SS upwards ?

Thanks for looking.

EDIT * Car has approx 122 thou km, also has tow gear fitted

Come on people, the worst I can do is say no to an offer!

Not desperate, but would like my daughter in a more accommodating vehicle..

Due to a pest of a person forever promising he is *approved* for his personal loan and a complete tool, I would like to part ways with my R33 more now.

Looking around the market, I would say price drop to $7,500 ono might be more fitting ?

p.m'd mate.

Replied. For anyone interested, I'm not desperate to sell. I just would like to get a car that I'd feel much safer having my daughter be driven in.

This does not mean I will sell it for 6k or other low offers.

The car is ridiculous to drive in the wet weather, even with 265's on the rear.

New silica front tyres, Accelera or something like that. Has vastly improved the wet weather driving, noted the old front tyres were mismatched tread pattern.

Eyeing off a set of 480cc inj, and a Power FC.. Someone buy this car to stop me spending more money!

BUMP!

      Fellow ADHDer to fellow ADHDer; Don't chase that paint perfection. Paint the bumpers, and put them on.  Leave the respray for another day. Plus, no one is going to see those old areas above. Any spots of surface rust, give them a clean up, prime, then hit with a white paint just to protect them from rusting. Again, no one can see it.   #Mine hasn't been on the road since 2011 cause ADHD... I've slowly learned not to keep f**king with shit if I don't need to...

      That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.

      Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️

      Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
