My 1997 Nissan Skyline R33 Gt-R V-Spec

[97 GTR]

Hey guys,

I thought I would make a build thread on my recently purchased 97 R33 GTR.

Early last year I purchaced a MY05 WRX that I originally had bought with the intention of not spending big dollars on it as it was already a nice neat cruiser and I did not want two money pits in the drive way (I have a Rotary). While it was in fact a nice car, I constantly had this feeling of dissatisfaction that I obviously didn't shake.

I've always wanted a R33 GTR since I was about 10 years old (literally), so i thought f**k it and put the Subi on car sales. To my luck i found this nice example and swapped my WRX + cash.

Some of you may have seen the car before. Used to wear the plates URG-33D and GOD33R prier to that.

I'll post the full specs list and better photos when I can:

Roughly:

1997 R33 GTR
R34 motor (Carbon dipped detailing by Aqua Dip)
GREDDY T78 single turbo kit (etc)
External 62mm Wastegate with screamer pipe
Trust Front Mount Intercooler
270degree Trust Cams
Link G4 Computer
R34 6 speed & Diff
R34 Brembo brakes all round
20inch Rays Volk Racing GTC wheels (carbon dipped by Aqua Dip)

Made 502HP (370AWKW) @ 18 PSI

It's unrealistic to say that I won't be spending money on her as I don't see myself selling up anytime soon!
Just need funds to recover, then i'm keen to start playing with it.

(I've put the DSRUPT plates on just for the Street Cover meet, until my new plates arrive)

Thanks! I haven't done any yet. Definitely keen to get out there some time in the near future though. I'm keen to see what she pulls down the 1/4.

Plans are just to neaten the car up and change a few things to suite my taste.

Cosmetically I want to source a factory front bar and black lip, factory side skirts and V spec pods.

After that, probably upgrade the injectors and go for a fresh tune to see how she goes!
