Well its gone..

Another SAU skyline leaves the ranks for other pastures.

Its been a great 20 months but tonight I saw her pshtt one last time and drive away.. sounded soo good from outside the car too :D

Some strange co-incidence today too:

* It was within the same month exactly 10 years ago that my R33 rolled off the production line somewhere in Chiba, Japan.

* This morning it ticked over 100,000km for the first time (I took a photo while driving :D.. even got video of it..)

* It was my birthday 3 days ago.

The common questions, may as well answer them all in one place :D

- Yes, I pretty much got the price I wanted - was sold "as is" cancelled rego, no safety cert or anything as it was off to NSW to be registered. Saved me some hassles.

- Why'd i sell it? hmmm, tough one.. long stories, dramas and well R33 are an expensive base to start from. Nothing wrong with the car really at all just was getting a bit sick of it. It will be nice to have further options again.

- What is next? dunno.. have some ideas..but wait and see what comes up. No massive hurry yet. It will be fast.. damn fast.

so I wave goodbye.. and least have some final great photos to remember it by:

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! WHICH OLD WITCH? THE WICKED WITCH! DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAD!!

In all humor THE CURSE IS OFFICIALLY LIFTED AND BEEN PASSED ON WIT THE CAR TO THE NEW OWNER!

I now present to you GORDO THE UNCURSED!

Very nice car, but yeah if you do know the full story behind it you will realise that I am not being too harsh with the above statements!

Actually there is one more photo I would like to have seen, and that would have been a photo of Gordo's face when I got the courier to pretend that he had backed into Gordon's car just before the new owner came to pick it up

Priceless :D

muahahahhahaaa

(they don't call me Evil Homer for nothing)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
