Hey folks! Tyrone here; up for sale is my 'rolling shell', R33 GTST Series 1. Chassis has 13xxxxKM. The pride and joy can still be registered, and was last registered in the ACT.

What's included in the sale:

(Please be aware that I do not wish to part out the car at all - it will be sold as a complete package)

Basically a complete car; all engine accessories such as power steering pump and alternator are in excellent working order and included. Also comes with Nismo 1 way differential. No accident history, good panels with your usual stone chip here and there.

Underside of the front spoiler looks a little rough cosmetically, however structurally it is completely sound, as it is not fibreglass, but OEM spec plastic.

Interior of the car is in excellent condition. Dash and doors are also in good condition. All electrics still work, however the common problem with the drivers side electric window switches was creeping up. Window glass is in fantastic condition with no cracks or stone chips, and are currently filmed with professionally installed window tint. These are a TOUCH too dark for the law, but I've honestly never had an issue with it, and I was pulled over plenty (the local constabulary is quite tough on performance cars, but they're still nice enough to talk to, even when they're giving the car a once-over).

Engine will be included with the sale. Spun a bearing due to oil issues (aftermarket oil cooler leaked like a hose during a spirited drive); the block is still in good condition, so much so that it was going to be reused in the build if an RB26 couldn't be sourced (which is basically what happened).

The head suffered some minor damage due to piston contact, however my builder (Peter @ Advan) has mentioned that it is quite repairable. Splitfire coil packs. Walbro fuel pump (unsure of exact specification - I believe it is the 255lph variant - if it helps, I was able to run 262rwkw very comfortably). A new oil and water pump will be required however, and are not included as 'running' gear.

A spare RB25DET head will also be included. It was bought second hand from a member here as a 'drop on and drive' part, however they failed to mention that the valve seats and clearances are buggered. Whether or not someone could use the head after a bit of work, is up to them. I also have spare cam caps and other bits and pieces that will be thrown in, they might come in handy.

Driveshaft and gearbox included. No issues with either of these - gearbox was great to change and still felt 'tight', however there are spring kits that can be installed to increase shifting feel even further. Exedy heavy duty clutch will be included, still plenty of meat left, had no slippage when car was running.

She sits on Whiteline springs front and rear, Bilstein shocks front and rear, with Whiteline sway bars front and rear, and also Whiteline castor and camber bushes all round. Brake upgrades include DBA 4000 slotted rotors front and rear with ADR braided lines. HICAS lock bar fitted.

Car comes fitted with R32 GTR rims with rubber. Spare set of R32 GTR rims will also be included, which have rubber (however most of these are not in a road worthy state of wear.)

Also included is a Vulture Motorsports front facing plenum, Greddy style. Condition is 'new used', has been taken out of packaging as cardboard box was damaged during transport, but never fitted or even test fitted. All hoses, fittings, bolts, nuts, hose clamps, and zip ties required to install will be included. Comes with Vulture Motorsports 90mm throttle body. A 90mm-to-standard adaptor comes with it also.

Full Complete OEM gasket kit. Purchased through Kudos Motorsports.

Gates racing timing belt.

Tomei intake/exhaust cam gears (non-vct)

Hi-flowed injectors (about 800cc from memory)

ARP Head stud kit. (suit RB20DET/RB25DET inc. Neo 6 - info taken from Kudos website)

ARP Main stud kit. (suit RB25DET)

Timing belt bearing kit - NSK (Nissan OEM)

Front mount intercooler with all piping (not too big)

Clear cam gear cover (generic brand)

Might have to update and confirm with my builder, but the full exhaust should still be there to include with the car. It is 3 inches all the way, de-cat pipe through to a HKS Superdragger muffler. Custom fitted and welded by Racepace in Melbourne.

Also included is the car's folder, which is full of receipts going back to 2005. Reprinted owner's manual in English in fantastic condition goes along with it.

There are more than likely other things I have forgotten to mention, however I will update this listing with any other things when/if I come across them in boxes and at the workshop.

So there are the goodies.. Now for the not so good points:

The drivers seat bolster had wear when the car was purchased, however I never got around to fitting the bucket seats I wanted, so it was never repaired/changed.

Previously mentioned front spoiler is rough on the underside.

Differential clunks a bit on low speed turns/cornering/parking - I know this is a somewhat normal thing with these diffs, however some people may find it annoying.

Electric aerial doesn't work - it is a problem with the actual unit, not wiring. The 'belt' that drives it failed about a week before the engine shit itself, so didn't have a need to replace it at the time.

And that's about it. She has been kept in weather proof storage for the better part of 30 months, hence the genuine low KMs on the chassis. Car was used mainly on weekends and nights out, as I had a work vehicle while the Skyline was on the road. During this time it was kept garaged and washed once a week.

In the flesh, it really is a great car. Even now, it still gets compliments from friends and mechanics at the workshop. Straight body and chassis rails with amazing condition panels and excellent condition paint - in a great colour too, which makes it enjoyable to look at. (Some swirls can be seen if at the right angle, however a professional detailing with 'paint correction' will sort this out for you.) The combination of the colour of the paint, with dark tints and black rims, gives it a nice presence on the road, with that awesome 'sleeper' look.

Before buying Suzie, I didn't really have much love for the R33 shape. She changed all that, and now I love it.

Regrettably however it is not feasible for me to keep or complete the car, so with a heavy heart I have made the choice to sell it.

As it stands, I am looking for $4750. I am negotiable, but low ballers and ridiculous offers will be respectfully declined with reason. I am a genuine seller looking for a genuine buyer. Please no time wasters. If you have any questions or comments, please shoot them my way, as I'd be more than happy to answer them/respond to you.

Location is in Sydney. Prefer local or within a couple hundred KMs.

Contact me at [email protected] or PM me on here. Will supply my phone number for those who are genuine and interested, as I'm not looking to have my phone number plastered all over the interwebz :)

Thanks for taking the time to read, and have a good one! :)

PS: Here are some pictures of when it was still on the road. Apologies for not having current ones during the creation of this advertisement; I will be making my way down to the workshop this week to get plenty of updated pictures. If anyone has any requests for 'up close and detailed' pictures (of the car that is ;) ), then please leave a comment and I'll do my absolute best to accommodate.

Sorry guys, forgot to mention... There is no turbo included with the sale.

Really quite sad to have to sell, as she was my first Skyline.. It's been an awesome love affair but it must come to an end.. Finish my project by dropping in an engine, or rebuilding the current one, and have a great condition Skyline with a tough engine for a fraction of the price.

More pictures coming soon... Negotiable, make me an offer :)

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
