 PLEASE REQUEST MORE PICS IF GENUINELY INTERESTED I HAVE  OVER 120 PICS OF THE BUILD + FINISHED PRODUCT

I WILL ALSO ANSWER ANY QUESTION ASAP, WILL BE CHECKING EMAIL CONSTANTLY SO DONT HESITATE

THIS CAR IS ALSO LISTED ON ALL COMMON CARSALE WEBSITES WITH MUCH MORE PICS... Carsales listing has about 65 pics

 

Up for sale is my Pride and joy, an E85 Fueled 1996 M-Spec S2 R33 GTS-T with 145,000kms I have owned her for 4 years and have spent the last 12-18 months transforming the already 596hp beast into my ultimate reliable, easy to drive R33

 ASKING $31999 ONO

VIN: 6U9000ECR33113727

 

I Purchased her with 596hp on E85 and absolutely meticulously cared for... a solid build but it needed a few things. Faulting it were the typical hard to drive brass button clutch, grinding 5th gear, sticky throttle body, a few small tune faults and some minor cosmetic details. ( old steering wheel, no floor mats etc.) I wanted it perfect so I decided to strip it down and change a few things to my liking and as you will see below.. i got a bit carried away with my “quick” teardown and rebuild.

 

Reason for regretful sale is I’m wanting to buy a house.. so its time for my labour of love to be passed on.

 

The car has never been smoked in, it has never been parked outside.. Literally not been parked in the sun more than a hour since I’ve owned it. Never parked in shopping center car parks, never parked in the city, never driven to work etc. has been 100% a weekend car and has been only parked in my dry and safe garage hence the great condition paint, headlight lenses, interior and lack of even a tiny speck of rust or corrosion.

 

The car has been cleaned and washed almost every time its driven (once or twice per fortnight). Has always been maintained with high quality products like Mothers and Meguiar’s 

 

The car has just been tuned at PIT’s by Matty Spry 30/5/2018, regarded as one of the best in the industry to work on a skyline. It made a reliable 599.99HP at the wheels @25PSI

 

It would be fair to assume that every fast car has been built to be driven hard.. but not only has this car had very little Kms since rebuild but it has been very well cared for, I understand the stress that every part in the car Is put under at high boost and have always driven accordingly... it has never been skidded, thrashed or even redlined... the highest RPM the car will ever see under my ownership is by my tuner in a controlled environment, with that in mind Rev limiter is set to 7350 for safety but can obviously be raised if you choose

 

My attitude with this car has always been “Do it right- Do it once” hence the 40k+ of parts used to get up to my standards (on a car that already had a lot spent on it by previous owner – (Probably in the order of 30-40k incl car)

 

Everything I have touched is either already perfect or has been replaced with brand new parts. No stone left unturned, no corners cut.

I have used nothing but the best parts and have spent hundreds of hours researching the best part or best method for the job, only Genuine Nissan or top brand Aftermarket parts have been used – eg. Can get an oil cooler for $100 but I got a $650 Japanese top quality unit, which has fluid pass through twice for extra cooling. Many many things on the car where I have spent MUCH more than necessary just for the peace of mind knowing it is built as strong, as reliable, as functional and as fast as it can be. You can rest assured that you are buying a car that isn’t just built to go fast.. its built to do it comfortably for a long time to come, without issue. You can also rest assured knowing that the person who built this car is a perfectionist who spent a lot of time and thought getting everything right, I don’t just bolt things on I look at every aspect of this particular job and how it interacts with every other part of the car to ensure the whole product at the end.

 

I was once told there is 3 things of importance to car owners and you can only have 2… - Cheap, Fast and Reliable – and I have certainly opted for the latter 2

 

Engine has always been serviced every 2000Kms MAX, oil and filter - gearbox and diff were done every 5000kms (like everything else way over done for peace of mind), has just had brand new clutch, brake, diff, engine, gearbox and power steer fluids 30/5/18

 

Where items are marked NEW they have been a part of the recent rebuild and are all BRAND NEW parts – this process was completed on 4/6/2018 so all these parts have JUST been installed will have very minimal use and KM’s – all other parts were installed previously by either myself or previous owner, (the car has done about 7,000kms total since the previous owner built motor prior to me buying it… including the KMs I have done) so even parts that aren’t brand new have low Kms on them

 

Due to the extent of modifications.. this car cannot be sold with a RWC, it will be de-registered on the day of sale, if purchaser is on gold coast or south brisbane im willing to deliver the car to you and remove plates once in your garage, I can provide details of the RWC certifier that I have always used for this car for an easy re-register

 

$42540 in Receipts + $18000 I paid for the car

Well over $42,000 in receipts (a 2” thick folder full of receipts will be supplied with the car aswell as over 125 pics of progress of the build and finished product - BYO USB), and as anybody who has ever built a car like this would know big ticket receipts are only a fraction of the money that’s been spent on her – also keep in mind I am quoting the prices I paid which is generally way below normal retail price

I will be completely honest and list every single fault I can think of on this car… NO SURPRISES:

a small scratch in rear bar – nothing major

the bolt on lip on front bar needs repairing on bottom edge, and paint on bottom of front bar isnt perfect – if you feel necessary

a crack in rear of passenger headlight – has been removed, section sanded, cleaned with alcohol and fully sealed with 2 coats of JB weld (worlds strongest adhesive) – already fixed and sealed fully

a small hole about the diameter of a AAA battery in the passenger seat - is not tearing or spreading

there is some blemishing on drivers side mirror under glass – has not gotten worse in the 4 years ive had her

A small bit of gutter rash on front passenger wheel - easy fixed, not very noticeable

There is a small gear in fan box that needs repairing/replacing, causes a intermittent clicking sound for 5-10 secs when starting sometimes..

Tinting on rear windows isn’t perfect

 

 

if I was to keep the car the next unnecessary things I would be looking at doing are:

spend a few hundred on a really nice gear shift knob

and replace suspension arms with upgraded tubular style ones

new diff, although Nissan LSD’s are great already

but as I said its not needed its just all that’s left unreplaced on the car

 

IT IS ALMOST A BRAND NEW 2018 R33 NISSAN SKYLINE   but better than Nissan ever built, it certainly drives like a brand new car with all drivetrain except diff brand spanking new

 

 

All inspections by either yourself or your mechanic are welcome, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions I will answer them all as best I can – Or don’t hesitate to ask for more pics if interested, i have about 125 pics of car finished, as it was built, And motor internals, head etc as the motor was put together and much more

hey Prank

sorry for late reply, was out for dinner after work

could you just clarify what you mean? you just want to put some of my pics on facebook for promo? or as a classified?

yeah i was wanting to change the order but i couldnt seem to work out how to. for some reason the engine pic collages ended up first instead of down the bottom with engine bay shots.. and the engine bay shots got a bit mixed up too.. is that what your wanting to change? if so yeah no problems :)

ive got no problem with it being put on facebook, just no name and phone number please :) more than happy for you to have the link to this listing though

thanks

caleb

Hi Caleb,

When we share to Facebook, the post takes the first pic in the thread. I was just making sure you were ok with me putting a full car shot at the top.

Thanks
