R33 GTST - 388bhp and 420lb/ft torque. Gutted to sell but must... - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Chills · 8th July 2008, 03:40 PM

I can't believe it has come to this but I am having to sell my absolute pride and joy... :disappointed:
Don't wanna go into details but my finances are shot and we may even have to sell up and go abroad.

If you are looking for a 'bog standard' 33 then yer probably best looking elsewhere as this has had lots of work done to her...
Most notably the RB20 Hybrid tubbie from Rising Sun taking her up to 420 lb/ft torque. :drool:

To take her safely to this level of power she has all the supporting mods done so as not to make a fragile car. She has been my daily drive and extremely well looked after and I'm just gutted to have to do this...

Specs:
RSP RB20 Hybrid turbo, with garrett journal core assembly, 360 thrust bearing, t3 turbine wheel and t04 compressor wheel
Apexi Power-FC ECU - installed and mapped by Rising Sun
Profec B Boost Controller installed and setup by Rising Sun to 1.2 bar (high) and 1.0 min. (0.8bar when off)
GTR Intercooler with Japspeed hardpipe kit
Full set of Mikalor competition strength clamps on intercooler pipework
Deatschwerks 555 Injectors
Z32 AFM
HKS Air Filter
FSE Fuel Pump, Filter and Pressure Reg' with Gauge
Samco / SFS Hoses
Trust oil cooler, relocation plate, etc..
Brake Stopper
Front strut brace
Full Japspeed exhaust system from the elbow & downpipe to the full twin silenced system (Only the decat isn't Japspeed)
75,100 miles. (Reads 107,000 but speedo converted to mph at 85,052 km)
Cambelt last done at 67,000 miles

Stunning 4 Stage Pearl ultra-white paintjob costing £4k
Spec 2 conversion' - Front end (bumper, lights, grill) and rear (spoiler and colour coded strip between lights)

Front dipped converted to HID with additional relays so they stay on when using full beam. Eg flashing someone.
Rear lights converted to full LEDs via the excellent kit made by 'Tyberious' (Matt)
17" Enkei 3 piece Magnesium split rims

Clifford Concept Alarm with digital proximity sensor and built in turbo timer (Both keyfobs incl.)
Lazerline immobiliser (Both 'keys' incl.)
Blaupunkt MP3/CD player
New uprated battery in rear

Optional extras:
(Not included in the sale but buyer will have first refusal. I'm willing to barter for their inclusion in the sale for the right price)
Full PC hidden in rear next to battery connected to stereo for music, movies, track day video recording, diagnostics, etc... Fully installed with windows and CarPC software. Worth > £300
7" Motorised touchscreen connected to computer and a rear facing camera which activates when reverse is engaged. Worth ~ £120
Clear Cambelt Cover - not yet fitted
Powerhouse Racing cambelt & pulley
Racelogic Traction Control Kit with launch control (incl wheel sensors - 2nd hand) - not yet fitted - Worth ~ £400
Full Bomex Bodykit (Front bumper, front grill, rear bumper, side skirts and GTR rep spoiler) - not yet fitted

Bad Bits:
Split/cracking on lower lip of front bumper
Small scrape on rear bumper
Kerbing on a couple of the wheel rims
Rubber coating peeling off on gear knob surround and window switches. Completely removed from dash fascia for a gloss black finish.

I will be put her in for a new MOT so she will sell with a full 12 months and she's taxed until end of August. Her last oil change was at RSP in January but get another service done along with the MOT.

Feel free to ask any questions and you're welcome to come and see. I'm near Bristol (BS15).

As for price - I think for this level of tune and spec, even with the damage to the front bumper, she's easily worth £6k and this will be my starting price. I'm open to offers but please note this is not a '£4k eBay Skyline' and I won't be selling her for so little. I'd rather take out (yet) another loan than sell her for so little.

I've got all the extra bits to go on her and I hate to see her 'unfinished' so the new owner will ideally keep me informed on how she 'gets on', if thats OK. And I would like first refusal if/when they decide to sell her as I'd love to buy her back when my bank manager has stopped raping me.

Coupla old pics below, although a lot of you know my car, and I'll sort some more when I get a chance...

Dyno Chart showing the power and torque curves:

And finally the boost curves at the 3 settings. (Ignore the bhp figure):

I'm sure I've missed some of the mods but will add them as I remember... Thanks for reading.

ah ha!!!!!

It was you i seen the other day when i was driving home from town heading towards Hanham.

I was in the Purple GTR, white wheels.

Thanks for the wave mate and good luck with the sale!!!!

Chills · 9th July 2008, 09:51 AM

Hello mate. Yep that was me.

Nice to see another Skyline around Hanham - you're only the second ever.
Nice GTR you've got there too.

Want another one?

Cheers for the good luck.

Chris ~

NISMO-GTR · 9th July 2008, 10:17 AM

want another?? I wish I could keep mine, am about to put the dreaded add up but i keep finding excuses.... hahaha

Chills · 9th July 2008, 10:53 AM

Tell me about it...

I ran out of excuses.

Chills · 18th July 2008, 09:41 AM

Right so (finally) the pics I promised an age ago...
Really sorry for the delay but life got really busy and to be honest I don't really WANT to sell her...

I only had 20 minutes (literally) to throw a bucket over the car and the light was fading so she isn't looking her best.
Normally I would clay bar around by the exhaust to get rid of the deposits from the exhaust and use wax / sealant.

The pics are big so as to show detail and not hide anything...
I will take some better ones when the sun comes out cos the white looks flat in these pictures and I assure you its far from it.
When the light its right the flake really 'jumps off the car'.

Finally to answer questions...
Yes I would consider PX but your car would need to be worth no more than ~ £2,5K as I am selling for the money not choice.
No - I've not tracked her. Was hoping to one day get her on a track day but never happened.
Yes, all the electrics work... mirrors fold, windows, etc...
Yes it DOES have remote central locking.
Yes it comes with the original flare.

All the tuning work was done at Rising Sun Performance and I'm sure Richard wouldn't mind confirming this.
Any other questions or any other pictures/angles you want... feel free to ask.

Thanks everyone,

Chris ~

Chills · 28th July 2008, 09:04 PM

First person with £5.5k can have her...
And trust me... first to see WILL buy.

For that you get a great example with all the tuning (expensive stuff) already done by, arguably, the best Skyline tuner in the country. (RSP)
Look at the power charts... 420lb/ft torque which comes in much lower than standard makes for a seriously fast yet driveable car...

Fresh MOT from last week for piece of mind and not owned/thrashed by a boy racer. (Am fast approaching 40 and far too old for all that rubbish)

£5.5k is stupidly low for a car like this so what are you waiting for?
If no-one grabs this quick will have to put on fleaBay.

Cheers, Chris ~

Chills · 30th July 2008, 05:36 PM

Can't wait any longer...
Now on FleaBay: Link

bill sky · 30th July 2008, 05:42 PM

its nice to see what you have done to her, i missed the car the second i sold her to you and was driving away, you were right to remove the stickers which my wife hated anyway, mind im now in a position to by a new one and i would love to buy her back but this time im going for a GTR. i do hope it sells ok for you mate and i will say to anyone this car is one above the rest and is absolutly stunning especially when the sun hit the paint, really is worth the money.

Glad you approve Bill. Have done loads indeed and spent thousands.

G'luck with a GTR this time...

For everyone else...
NEW fleaBay link: Link
Last one waa removed cos it said "open to offers"!

Chills · 7th August 2008, 06:38 PM

The fleabay auction runs out Saturday evening... (Link above)
Currently at just £4,900 so could be a real bargain for someone.

Get bidding peeps!

Cheers, Chris

SEGTR · 8th August 2008, 12:44 AM

Lot's of extra work done since I saw you on digital-car.co.uk
Hope the sale goes well...free bump.

Chills · 8th August 2008, 10:12 AM

Cheers.

Yep got a bit carried away with the tuning...

Bank manager didn't share my enthusiasm though.

Chris ~

Chills · 10th August 2008, 04:22 PM

Car didn't meet reserve and only went up to £4,900...

Now relisted with a buy-it-now price of £5.5k. eBay Link

So c'mon peeps, this is a steal for a car this spec.

Chris ~

Chills · 19th August 2008, 12:05 PM

Car relisted for the last time...

Buy-it-now is now just £5k which is stupidly low for this spec car.

If she doesn't sell for such a stupid amount, I'm keeping her.
