Your looking at my Nissan R33 GTST Series iI Skyline 40th Anniversary Edition V-Spec. Its a 1998 with 52k kilometers. There were only 3-4 thousand produced to close out the R33 series and launch the R34.

The engine is the RB25DET motor with 5speed tranny. The car is almost cleaner than my IS300. Paint is perfect, interior is perfect. It is by all means the new infatuation.

Aftermarket bits include...

HKS SSQV BOV
HKS Two Way Adjustable Coilovers
Rays 17x8" Mags
Nismo Front & Rear Strut Towers
Nismo Dash
NGK 550 Injectors
V-spec front lip/ Grille, Headlights
Xcess Grounding Kit
Phillips Lighting
Limited Edition Hybrid Chrome Intercooler w/heat wrapping
Greddy Radiator Cap/Oil Cap
Blitz/Apexi Air Filter
Full 3" Trust Exhaust/ Free flow Cat/ Dump pipe

It ran a 12.5 at the track in Adelaide and its 0-100 is about 5.3 or 5.2 It pulled 206rwkw which is roughly 280rwhp on 13 psi, street tyres and it was about 32 that day.

Future plans include...

Bigger turbo! Change the waste gate, manifold, etc. I want to put Nismo LM200 GT Smoked wheels on there, 18x9 +42. I plan on making all lug nuts black except for one red one to match the Nismo theme. Im going to put in custom Recaro bucket seats or possibly put in brand new R34 GTR Interior. Sparco 3pt double buckle system, C's Short shifter, Nismo Shift knob, Nismo shift boot, brake boot, hand brake etc. H1 Phillips HID Kit + Nismo clear side markers, and I want to put in all piaa lighting for exterior lights. Possibly even looking into an engine swap with the RB26DETT + 6spd tranny. (although if I was going to do that why not just buy an R34 GTR?)

The suspension is set up for drift right now so when my foot is on the floor the car fishtails everywhere. Im going to change it to auto x sometime.

A big thanks goes out to my sweetheart who has to put up with my obsessions with tuning cars in two countries now.
