Hey Guys,

I am trying to track down a car my husband owned and sold a few years ago.

We live in Wollongong, NSW and sold to a guy in syd.

Originally purchased from AutoStyle in syd for $25k.

Is white and has a bit of engine work, strut brace in back seat and Advanti wheels.

Number plate was originally BEX.59P but pretty sure we sold it as JETR33 or similar.

Sold for $16 as we couldnt afford it at the time - just trying to find the car again - my husband misses it so much.

If anyone has any info on this car please let me know!

Also, if you have any ideas on how to track down a vehicle through number plate or vin i would greatly appreciate it, Thanks!

*Sorry, photo of the engine was too large so wouldnt let me load :(

I think they may be Enkie rims and it's an R32. If you recall the name of the person you sold it to, you can call your local roads authority and confirm if he/she is or isnt still the registered owner, they wont outright tell you who owns it tho.

Best of luck with the hunt

You are so right, i dont know why i typed JetR33... he had 2 R33s before this car. Sorry.

I have done a check and the report comes up a little confusing as it says:

  • The registration is cancelled.
  • The registration expired on 07/08/2011.

But then says:

22-Jun-2009 to 9-Oct-2011 Pensioner 10-Oct-2011 to present Private

Also states it was not a write off etc

We sold it in 2009.

I happened to find a receipt with the buyers name who i have tried contacting through facebook so hopefully i get a lead.

God i wish my wife was as cool as you

I missed my old GTR too and sometime i talk about looking for it and purchase it again. Owning GTR is personal, another GTR is not the same :(.

Good luck.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
