Detailed description Aside from the Top Secret R33 V-Spec recently sourced, this and the 400R T88 GT-R (New stock at time of writing), this is the only other highly tuned low mileage R33 GT-R V-Spec we have sourced in the last 2 years. Not because we haven't seen others, but usually this spec of car comes having had a hard life....We only seek out those cars which have plenty of life to give and haven't been subject to hard use and wear. This example's a mint condition low mileage High Performance Stage 3 tuned missile for weekend & track fun... This GT-R V-Spec has been extensively tuned to stage 3 by Garage Saurus - one of Japan's premier Skyline specialists, most noted for their preparation of cars for drag and fast circuit time-attack tune. Saurus have close ties with Greddy and OS Giken, also acting as their development engineers. Saurus are known for being the original developers of the T88-33D turbo and hold records for drag and track time attack in Japan. They are also builders of 8 second quarter mile 1,000 bhp on a regular basis. In our opinion & experience, this is the best GT-R tuning company in Japan (Check out the preview of Fast East & Extreme 2 DVD to see why!) Well over £35,000 total has been spent in tuning this beast in Japan with most of the work confirmed as carried out by Garage Saurus, based in Saitama near Tokyo. Saurus are considered to be Japan's premier Skyline tuner. This is the company that develops new products for the likes of Greddy, HKS and OS Giken. Their workship is regularly packed with 8 second quarter mile GTR's, Supras and high power Silvias. As you stand watching the technicians at work, you can see !,000 bhp cars at idle purring sweetly - their quality of engineering, workmanship and cars produced are legendary. Garage Saurus have been tuning the RB26 since 1990 and at each

year's Autosalon their single demo car blows visitor's minds with attentiion to detail. Please see www.neweramedia.com for Fast East & Extreme - where there is a full interview with Hayashi (Boss of Saurus) plus a close look at their time attack R32 GT-R in action as it beats all other Japanese tuner's cars. With this example, everything from the engine to gearbox, suspension, brakes, wheels, etc. has been uprated to cope with the 500 - 600 bhp reliably. There is no other GT-R of this calibre for sale currently in UK. Engine Spec Includes: Block uprated and bored for 2.8 litre HKS Step III conversion incl. forged pistons, h beam conrods and full-counter crankshaft. Also fitted are uprated camshafts, Tomei type B valve springs, and vernier pulleys, metal head gasket, uprated timing belt and drive belts, uprated fuel pump, 700cc injectors, Nismo fuel pressure regulator, Blitz mesh type air filters (Rated for up to 1,000 bhp), Nismo Twin Air Flow Meters (Rated for up to 775 bhp). Fitted is a Trust high capacity intercooler with hard piping kit. The Greddy T88-33D turbo kit includes: stainless steel tubular exhaust manifold (heat wrapped) & remote wastegate. The downpipe is large bore and feeds through a light silencer which has replaced the standard catalyst. Exhaust system is a 2 silencer type, with a stainless steel back box. Boost is looked after by a no-nonsense Greddy Profec B Spec II unit. Fueling is taken care of by a Garage Saurus re-programmed ROM which we have checked on GT Art's Dyno now the car's in the UK (On 98 Ron fuel). Tuning is absolutely spot on with no need to remap. We have the dyno printouts to show the linear power delivery. At 1.3 bar there's 503 bhp at the wheels @ 7,500 rpm. This equates to an astonishing 670 bhp at the flywheel (Allowing a 25% loss of power through the transmission for a GT-R). The HKS full counter crankshaft & forged engine components included in the 2.8 litre kit allow for safe reving up to 9,500 rpm. There's a Carrozzeria 1 G Plus heat stabiliser (Oil) strut bar fitted, in combination with a remote oil filter mount by the sump (For easy access from beneath). Radiator is a double capacity alloy unit. Radiator cap is a 1.3 Bar Nismo type. Oil filler cap is also Nismo. There's also combination oil catch tank / washer reservoir fitted. Note also that the timing belt has been changed by ourselves, as well as completing a full engine service as part of quality preparation. Transmission & Suspension: An OS Giken close ratio kit has been fitted to the gearbox to make an RH9 specification box. This still has synchromesh - so is usable for the street, but has better gear spacings for track or fast road use and will be stronger than standard. Clutch is a top quality OS Giken 2 or 3 plate unit complete with lightweight flywheel. Differentials remain standard, for ease of use on the road. The suspension coilovers are some of the best available on the Japanese Market - TEIN Type HT. These are of course fully adjustable, complete with remote


2

reservoirs for high performance at all temps, with damping adjustable from the top of each unit. TEIN pillow ball front tension rods have also been fitted. These help provide increased steering feel and response. Brakes & Wheels: At the front, there are AP Racing 6 Piston Callipers with 370mm slotted & vented discs mounted by alloy bells.. At the rear the standard 2 piston Brembo callipers are fitted. Brake pads and hoses are uprated too, of course. Wheels are Volk Racing TE37's of size 19 x 10.5J + 15 (The largest TE37's available for a Skyline GT-R fitment), combined with a mix of Dunlop Pilot Sport 285/30/ZR19 tyres on the rear with Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tyres on the front. Wheel nuts are Rays lightweight alloy (Black) with a puzzle lock nut. Cosmetic & exterior improvements: Nismo rear valence extensions, late model update front splitter, Signal Drag Spec rear spoiler, with an X-Treme carbon bonnet - secured with safety catches. Headlight main beam has been uprated with a high quality HID kit. Note there's heat shielding on the rear bumper around the exhaust. This is to offer protection when flames are made during higher rpm gearchanges! Nismo side repeaters have been fitted, but the front could be improved with clear indicators too. Also recommended would be original Nismo front bumper intercooler vents and Zacetec LED Nismo style rear light clusters. These items are all available through www.neweraparts.com Please note: The pictures show this car as having a drag style rear spoiler. This is now replaced with an original R33 GT-R adjustable rear spoiler instead. Some pictures of this have been added to the slideshow. Interior & Modifications: An array of 3 x 60mm white face defi gauges are fitted. On the A pilar there's a Greddy pod housing the oil temp and water temp gauges. To the right of the steering column there's a Defi water temp gauge on the dashboard. On the opposite site there's an Apexi boost gauge (Bespoke pods are available to house these more neatly if desired). A full array of white faced Nismo gauges was fitted since new to replace all original gauges.Note the Greddy Exhaust temp gauge neatly housed in the Nismo centre pod. The Speedo reads to 320 km/h. The original steering wheel is the facelift type as introduced in 1996. A turbo timer's fitted. Gearknob is from Nismo and there's an uprated leather gaiter too. Audio consists of a Sony Drive-S 52W x 4 head unit with CD/Radio. Speakers are uprated Kenwood items with remote tweeters at the front. There's also a sat nav system fitted, although this won't work in UK, except for the screen itself (Note: TV mount is removable). All electronics are used and therefore supplied without warranty. Driver's seat is a Recaro unit, able to offer considerably greater side support for the driver. If preferred, we can source an original BCNR33 driver's seat to replace this item. Alternatively we can upgrade to 2 Bride front seats (Leather, etc. is available). We can even retrim the door inserts


3

and rear seats in Bride Fabric for less than you'd think! See www.neweraparts.com for the Bride seat range. Standard & Dealer Option Specifications: This is a rarer and more desirable V-Spec model, complete with active electronically controlled rear Limited Slip Differential and adoption of ATTESA E-TS PRO system for the 4WD bias control. Also included as standard: Climate Control A/C, PAS, Central Locking, ABS, velour seats, privacy rear windows, adjustable rear spoiler, original full set of fitted mats, etc. Test Drive: Initially we warmed this car up. Engine note right from the beginning is that of a tight engine with considerable tuning. Idle is smooth although slightly lumpy possibly due to uprated camshafts. Excellent oil pressure (5/cm2 at idle when cold, at ambient Japanese spring temp of 20 Deg C, 3kg/cm2 when at normal operating temp) too. Clutch feels near new with plenty of progression, despite being uprated. We started off at 0.90 bar of boost, once warmed. Turbos pull strongly and even at 0.9 bar, the car's making what feels like around 500 bhp. Putting boost onto a still conservative 1.2 bar gave much stronger performance as the turbo comes on stronger. Around 550 - 600 bhp + is how it felt from the driver's seat. Brakes and handling are sharp and drama free. The suspension's well controlled with good bump soaking response, yet no body roll on hard cornering. This is a seriously well sorted car in beautiful condition. Interior is in excellent condition with no faults to report aside from the LCD screen mount which is located on the centre of the dashboard. This can be removed of course. Bodywork is excellent and unmarked - now having been completed. To find all faults on the bodywork, we washed and chamois leathered this car before photographing. The rear bumper had residue near the exhaust area from flames (Normal on higher powered GT-R's)! This is polishable. The bonnet's laquer has some trapped bubbles showing, but this is minor. The nearside rear light had some water ingress and there was some leakage of water into the boot - This has been investigated and repaired as part of our UK preparation work. As to be expected on a car like this, there are some minor stone chips to the front bumper and the lip spoiler has some mild cracks in the paint. Not many at all though (See individual pictures). The front bumper has been professionally resprayed in any case. Remember that well over £50,000 has been spent in making this special Skyline and with it's low genuine mileage - this presents a bargain as a well prepared and tuned example in good condition, for much less than half what it'd cost to buy a similar low mileage but std. GT-R, then build it in UK! Now completed and ready to register! Viewing is highly recommended if you're serious about getting the best prepared GT-R available, in the best condition with the lowest mileage. Make no

How the Newera System Works (1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required. (2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can find, plus a set fee of 900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the corresponding saving. (3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if applicable). The deposit is usually 1,000. If you want a car worth over 10K OTR, then the deposit is 1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan. (4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed, though it frequently costs less. (5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK. (6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).


63

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately 60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at all times prior to you collecting it. (7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing, to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition. (8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing, registraton etc. (9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs. (10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA tested & MOTd (If applicable). All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is fully valetted just before you collect it. (11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate. N.B. The entire system of how the Newera Imports system works, from beginning to end is shown on Neweras DVD Skylines & Skyscrapers This video can be ordered either through our website or sending a cheque and return address to our UK office, details of UK office address, below.
