My beast of an R33 GTR

[Big Mark]

As most people already know, I've now moved over to Canada and it seems likely to be a permanent move......unfortunately, due to the importation laws and the age of the car, I can't register the R33 on a permanent basis over here until 2012
I half heartedly advertised the car last year, but this time I really should put some proper effort into selling the beast and let it become someone elses pride and joy. Needless to say I'm going to miss this motor in a big way, but circumstances leave me little choice really

I've had the car for about four years now. The previous owner, a well respected member of the Skyline 'community' had totally pampered it whilst owning it. It came to me in stage 1'ish spec and bit by bit I've turned it into what is, for me at least, pretty much my dream Skyline. I have no wish to add up what has been spent on the car since I purchased it, but suffice to say it's an absolutely HUGE sum of money.
The car was featured in J-Tuner, back in issue 6 if I remember correctly, and it's certainly a fairly well known car within this club and also I guess within the UK Skyline scene.



So, to the car:-

Although I'm now living overseas, I'm not in a totally desperate rush to sell and will not let the car go for buttons......I think it's worth more than that.

I'm going to ask £25,000.....that's a lot of money, but it's a hell of a lot of car. As it sits right now, it produces almost 700bhp at about 1.6bar, and given a tank of decent fuel along with the appropriate map, would easily run 2.0 bar and obviously a good many more hp aswell.
The car is currently sitting with the fine men at Abbey M/S (a place this car knows very well ) having a goog going over, getting a fresh MOT and some new tyres on the rear.

I'm currently in Canada, but will be back in the UK for a very short time as of Monday next week (March 26th) and will get back to anyone that leaves me a PM, or alternatively an e-mail at skylineguv @ gmail.com

I'll get some more pics up when I'm back next week, but for now, here's a few to start.







I'll get some more pics up when I get home next week.
