My UK R33 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

All,
Thought it was about time i got round to posting some pictures instead of just the usual drivel........

Got the car out today and cleaned it up and took some pics in the sun....

1998 UK R33 GTR
Full Leather
Nismo LM GT1 Rims
400R front bumper and splitter
HKS Super Dual Dragger and Super power flow
Middlehurst 400 ECU
Nissan Motorsport Europe built group N engine....which was to be the last race engine for the R34 Falken GTR endurance cars.......Thankfully Nissan pulled out of racing and now this brand new engine lives in my car! (It's not all bad working for them)
Based on N1 NUR engine with a few additional tweaks including all metal gaskets.
N1 turbos, oil and water pumps etc etc.....

Cheers for all the help thus far!

RBnemesis13B · 2nd July 2006, 05:10 PM

Beautiful. Simply beautiful, and that engine, good shot mate.

Nick MW · 2nd July 2006, 05:42 PM

Really, really nice looking 33 Ian

Ian C · 2nd July 2006, 05:59 PM

Cheers for all the comments chaps........been a good project so far and i'm sure it'll never really be finished......
few more pics in the meantime!
(Maybe it was a little too sunny today for the camera!)

And for the eagle-eyed amongst you, no that is not me in the skirt! Ha ha!

very nice, and about time we saw some pics

I looked everywhere for that reg. no, myself.

stuartstaples · 2nd July 2006, 06:49 PM

Do you know a lad called Logan by any chance (AKA Blacky) He's been banging on about a mate of his with an engine similar to yours...........Sweet car either way. Are there any spec differences between the endurance engines and the normal ones then?

Ian C · 2nd July 2006, 07:07 PM

Stu, Yeah, logan is my very good mate.......(and also the lad who ran rings round the evo boys on a MLR sprint recently in his gimpreza! ha ha)

Spec wise no major differences, it's all in the blueprinting and tolerancing of the crank apparently....
I'm sure we'll find out how strong it is one day!

Otherwise, it's just a nice bit of history to add to my car!

And to think that the DVLA had my pants down to the tune of a couple hundred bucks! haha - just finishes it off i reckon.

You can't beat those Leather seats - got them in my 33

Ian C · 2nd July 2006, 09:23 PM
