High Power Skyline R33 GTR V-spec
1996, R33 Skyline GTR V-spec, twin turbo, in midnight purple.
Extensive engine work done (by Abbey Motorsport) around 10k miles ago to give safe power increase potential. This included :
- Steel internal turbos (safer to higher boost levels)
- HKS pistons/rings taking cc to 2.7 litre
- 1.6mm steel head gasket
- Steel bottom end bearings (big end and main)
- Wide-band lamda sensor
- HKS Priest exhaust (decat, although cat is included in boot
)
- Remapped ECU and carrier
This work gives approx 470/480bhp, although the engine is good for a lot more with different turbos. I preferred the everyday drivability of these ones, so kept it as is. With the EVC, you can run standard boost (approx 300bhp) for everyday use, and press the 'fun button' when you want a bit more (2 levels of adjustable boost).
Rolling road reports available on request.
A few other things have been done too :
- Lowered 30mm onto HKS springs
- HKS induction kit
- HKS dump valve (nice subtle ppssh !)
- HKS EVC boost controller (currently variable between 0.85 bar and 1.2 bar to give 'every day mode', and 'fun mode' !).
- HKS turbo timer (auto adjusting delay)
- Remounted front indicators to get rid of the ugly orange blobby things, and driving lights put in their place.
- Colour coded front splitter
- Clear side repeaters
- Clear rear indics
- Zeibart paint protection system - No need to polish ever again !!
- Full Zeibart underseal
- Light tints on side windows
- Top spec Kenwood N'fit stereo with kevlar door speakers, 10 disk changer etc.
- CAT 1 alarm/immobiliser
There may be a couple of other minor things, but that's the main stuff.
Bearing in mind that this car has had over 12k spent on the mechanical work, I'm think I'm being fair asking for £20,500. It is in mint condition, and even has the original GTR mats inside !! 4 brand new tyres just fitted too, and a full years MOT.
Insurance isn't as bad as you might think either. Even with all mods declared, it's still pretty reasonable. Mail me for details.
This would be a perfect platform for a higher powered GTR, as the engine has been built to take a lot more than the current 500bhp.

A few pics here, but more on the above website.
I'll get some better quality ones up soon.
I'll be at TOTB this weekend too
