Picture taken before brake upgrade.

The car began life as a mint stock 33 and has been developed over a period of several years to a standard any enthusiast would be proud to own. There are no shortcuts to an end result like this and all parts and modifications are of a high quality and a very high standard.
The car has been built as an all-rounder rather than a horsepower monster and would be among the better packages available.
All standard items such as a/c, dual airbags, etc. have been retained and work perfectly.
The car has been engineered for all mods and is completely legal.

The engine was built and maintained by Dan of ERD fame and tuned by Richard at Allstar.
The car has had a full and proper respray by B&I Paint and Panel in US 350Z Carbon Silver.

Engine.
Forged blueprinted and balanced Rb25 with Ross pistons, spool rods, arp main and head studs, acl bearings, 6.5 litre gated and baffled sump, Ross balancer, after market oil pump.

Cylinder head is fitted with HKS cams, Tomei valve springs and HKS exhaust cam gear. VCT has been retained.

Intake.
750 cc injectors in billet fuel rail, GTR intake with throttle bodies on a Ranga Billet adaptor plate. ARC intercooler with custom pipework, Turbosmart fuel pressure regulator and Nismo intank fuel pump. K&N pod filter.

Hot side.
Rare 6boost lowmount manifold with ERD custom dump, all HPC coated, Tial 44 mil external wastegate,
Garret GT 30/76r turbo. 75mm Invidia stainless exhaust HPC coated.

Cooling.
Dual core aluminium radiator, remote oil filter relocator and front bar mounted oil cooler.

Drive train.
33 GTS-T gearbox rebuilt by ERD with all parts Chryo?ed. In excellent condition, with a Nismo short shift kit. Excedy heavy duty sports clutch with GTR cover plate. Shimmed 33 diff. Hicas Lock bar.

Suspension.
Bilstein shocks with circlip height adjustment and King springs. Selby (Fulcrum) custom front sway bar to clear the extended sump, rear Whiteline swaybar (both adjustable). Hicas lock bar, new tie rod end bushes.

Brakes, wheels and tyres.
Full 33 GTR Brembo brake conversion with slotted rotors, quality brake pads and ADR approved braided brake lines. DTM Rush wheels 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear, in shadow silver shod with Federal 595 SS tyres.

Full respray in US 350Z Carbon Silver, Tint mart opal black window tint. Pioneer 50 watt cd tuner, pioneer 3 way 180 watt x4 speakers.

So much more, but you get the idea. This has been an ongoing project over several years with the usual trial and error along the way. The package is now complete and fully functional, just waiting for a new enthusiast to take over the care and fun of owning a car modded to this standard.

Asking price $22,500.oo
I am not interested in what you think it is worth, those who have been down this road know only too well what it costs to build a car to this standard. Several times more than the asking price, counting mistakes.
If I cannot get the asking price or close to it, I will part the car out and make more than the sale price so it's a no brainer to me. Don't try and lowball. I am not after swaps or trades, just an outright sale so don't ask.
Some lucky buyer is going to get the bargain of all bargains here.

I will dig up some more pics... Any requests?

And I am selling because it is finished and I am very happy with it. But circumstances change and I want something else to play with...

As to a power figure, it is de-tuned down to just under 300rwkw at the moment for daily driving duties.

This car is among the most complete packages you could wish for, I have watched its development from very close to hands on helping over the last few years, The asking price is ridiculous when you add up what has been spent to make it what it is.

Sorry to see it go Dave and I hope it goes to a home where it will be appreciated and not abused.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
