Regretable sale of Red 550hp R33 GTR for sale

I know i dont post on here much but am a decent poster on GTROC.com (dont throw things at me ) I thought i would post this up on here as well. It is with great regret that I put my r33 GTR up for sale :bawling: it is time for me to buy a house and I cant afford the two together just yet. It was a shock with the passing of Rob and it has had an impact on my decision i have to admit, i dont feel right taking it to anyone else in the future. The combination of that and me deciding to buy a house has brought me to this place. Otherwise this car would be going nowhere!!!! I bought the car last November and since then I have spent far too much money on it: including rebuilding and forging the engine, new turbos, new brakes, new suspension etc. Not much really left on the car I havent touched! Dials ust about to tick over to 100kish, imported from japan and converted to miles at 70k. Engine rebuilt with everything else at 89000 miles. TweenieRob (R.I.P.) , Justin and Harry built the engine and looked after the car for me since I have had it. :thumbsup: Spec list (what I can remember!)

This is exactly what he supplied back to me. The response from the turbos is brilliant, the car is still very fast top end as well. Power roughly 550hp and torque unknown (never dynoed) Power was estimated by Tweenie and the car has pulled the numbers to back this up. The car ran a 3.71 second 0 – 60 at Trax car show and took the 2nd place (was beaten by a ford escort with a mental cossie lump and running gear! GIT!!!) Best quarter mile the car has done was an 11.6 before the new engine and turbos, the car should be very low 11’s or maybe with the right driver even quicker. I have only done one quarter miles run with a 12.3 at 126mph but my excuse was it was raining my first ever run and I turned the boost controller off! So 126mph on low boost I was very happy with! Wish I got the chance to run it in the dry, due to work commitments I never got the chance! I have been very honest with the car, it has been my baby and has had oil changes every 4k miles with Silkolene 10w-50 race oil and new filters. The bad points are very small and simple to fix (I simply have not had enough time to do them!) It has been my daily driver so it has always had to be in tip top running condition and I hate dirty cars, it is cleaned regularly and taken massive care of. Anyone who knows me (even ask the boys at TR Racing) if there has ever been a problem with the car I have not skimped on money to fix it. It has just been re MOT’d yesterday so a full 12 months on it. Tax runs out april 2010 The rear tyres need to be replaced and the front splitter needs to be resprayed due the The AA scraping and cracking it when it was recovered when a sensor died and I thought my new engine had died (can never be too careful!). These may be completed before the sale of the car or can be negotiated with price either way not bothered. Viewings recommended, am not advertising for tyre kickers or test drivers. May take px for cheapish bmw diesel or something like that or a 600cc bike up to a certain value. Price wise I am asking £15000 ovno which is nothing compared to what I bought it for and what I have spent on it in the last year! My number is 07726 342 342 give me a pm or text or something if interested. No doubt I have missed things and may update as I go along. This has been a very quick decision of mine to sell the car otherwise I know I wont do it. Giles got jealous of my engine bay so had to open his Thanks for looking Chris (oh just bought new air filters and oil and filter for it this week to change over so will be nice and fresh for new owner)
