R33 Gtr V Spec - Importr


Recommended Posts

Hello

Thought I’d take time share with you my GTR.

I’ve been a member on SAU since the early days – April 2002.

Started on here as a young guy in my early 20’s – just sold my VP HSV and was looking to buy a R33 GTSt which were just starting to be sold at the yards around that time. After owing the GTSt, I moved onto Supras, Evo’s and various R33 and R34 GTR’s over the last 10 years. Although I loved the 2JZ Supras – the car that I always loved the most and always gives me the best memories – was my 2001 R34 GTR V Spec II.

Being without a GTR for a number of years I decided I would start quietly keeping an eye out in Japan for my next car.

I am very particular about my cars – extremely fussy – so I was in no rush – browsing the yards in Japan is half the fun.

I was after a car in Japan – I had to be first owner in Australia. I was after a quality modified car – standard or near standard cars was not an option – as had many and I was looking for something more hardcore.

Wanted a car built in Japan, of the highest quality, genuine low km, etc etc.

This car would be a keeper – something I will spend time in with my sons, enjoy, etc.

I was actually looking for a 34 …. when I received an email from Global Auto in Japan (where I had purchased the Autoselect R34 GTR the week before)……..

Just arrived at their yard – before they put it for sale would I be interested. Upon looking at the pictures and quick call to check over some details – I purchased it immediately.

When bringing the car to Australia – I decided to ship the GTR directly to GT AUTO in Brisbane. As I’m in Perth – I entrusted Tim and Dave to look after the car for me - service, minor upgrades and tuning needed to be done. I cannot speak highly enough of the boys at GT Auto in Brisbane – who took nothing but amazing care of my car.

Whilst at GT Auto - some of the improvements to the car I have made ...
* HKS FCONV V-PRO ECU
* HKS EVO6 Boost Controller
* 1000CC Injectors
* RADIUM Surge Tank with Twin External Pumps Bracket
* E85 Fuel Line and Fittings
* HKS Cam Gears
* New NPC Twin Plate Custom Clutch 1000HP
* Nitto Clear Cam Cover
* Garage Defend C/F Cooling Panel
* Tinted Windows
* Polished Intake Plenum
* New N1 Water Pump
* Dyno Tuning

Hey Dan

Another old school original member - great to hear from you.

This is by far the best GTR I have had. The 6 Speed Sequential box is what makes me smile the most.

This car is like the day it came from the factory - condition wise.

Interior is flawless - not a mark - appears as brand new.

Underneath car is also flawless - the rails, etc are perfect - no scratches, dings, nothing - truely amazing.

I did the full Jap History check on this GTR - all great.

I feel as if I have purchased a brand new 18 year old car..... IMMACULATE (IMACUL8) is every way.

IMMACUL8 as always Dan :-)

Hey

Well its been awhile - car has basically be parked away in family garage for last 6 months while I worked on a house renovation - result - got my new garage built ;)

Although not completely finished with my reno project - was able to bring the car home FINALLY.

Have the garage set-up for my GTR they way I always wanted..... (minus a hoist ;)

Now that the car is home and I have access to it when ever I please - time to get a few little things done I've been putting off.

This past weekend I fitted the Genuine Nissan Sports pedal set.

Thanks mate

I don't have any issues with the front lip. I have the car a little higher than I would visually desire - but saves me alot of headaches and somewhat protects it from bumps and scratches.

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
