Michael's R33

[Michael's R33]

Hi Guys i've been apart of this forum for sometime now and though i should share my R33 story.

I previously owned r33 but i have a thing for s1 r33 and was looking for a sunroof version which i found was hard to find manual for some odd reason.. long story short I FOUND IT!!

bought the car for $2200 at pickles auction with a bent rear control arm $50 fix and add some rego i was good to go!

got it home found out it was auto and had a na 33 box in it so i had plans to squeeze more power out of the car i bought another smashed s2 R33 for 2.5k and which had an immaculate box in it I know hard to believe swapped the box and actually finished the conversion and hooked up the reverse lights and neutral wire so car would stall..

here comes the fun i purchased a R34 op6 high flow, 660cc Jecs injectors, Power fc, 044 pump and Z32 bang put it all in off to the tuners i go! car made 243kw on 18psi turbo was surging if we went any higher.

Exterior XXR wheels and bought another Mspec bar and painted it.

ofcause i was eager to find out what time it can do down the qtr so here i am..

Result!!

since then i have really grown fond of the car and wanted to fix the faded roof so off to the painters it went got a total respray with ceramic clear as i want it to last as long as it can... can't get rid of it now lol money pit!!

ill add some more later as I'm going high mount with e85 ps i already bought the turbo

Here is the car after the paintwork also fitted bride kevlar reps and a carbon Gauge a pillar trim with autometer carbon series gauges oil pressure and boost for ref

Ive im hanging to get this out on a track day so I decided its time to prep put a gates racing timing belt genuine water pump and pulleys as I didn't know when or if it has been done before and installed a 13 row oil cooler with relocation kit.. I totally removed the water oil heat exchanger with a rb30 oil filter stud I ordered from nissan works a treat cars ready before I squeeze more power.
