Well , fuck . Yep , i´ve a proud GT-R Owner now , yep i bought ,actually traded
for one of my cars , another R33 but this time a BCNR33!
As i´ve said , i haven´t bought this car . I actually traded it , wait for it .... for my JZA80. YAP ! I traded my Twin Turbo JZA80 for THIS ! Few days ago overheard a friend of mine talking about a local older gentleman who was into 90´s sportscars , was trading his BCNR33 for a something a littlebit different but still from the same category . I hit him up and after a small talk through the phone i offered him mine ´96 JZA80 for his ´96 BCNR33 .
- What are the specs and what has been done to the car ?
Me : It´s a Original ´96 Zenki JZA80 RZ , 2JZ-GTE non-VVTi , 72 000KM , manual . It already had these upgrades when i got it :
HKS cams
TRD diff
Greddy transmission cooler
Upgraded twin turbos
Greddy twin turbo air filter
TRD oil filter
BLiTZ oil cooler
PBM Front and back arms
Tein Street Basis Z coilovers
Gramlights 57Xtreme wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes R888´s
Sparco Steering wheel
Kouki Recaro driver seat
2 owners including myself .
- Sounds pretty good , i´ll take it . Meet up tomorrow at 12PM at Yokohama docks ?
Me: - Yep , that´ll work , See you tomorrow then !
*The next day*
Tuesday 08/20
After a long drive from Gunma to Yokohama docks i finally arrived . Just as i was approaching him i noticed the BCNR33 . God , it looked even better than in the photos ! We talked about the cars and specs for a littlebit AGAIN . Then we took both of the cars for a little test drive around the docks and boy oh boy , the BCNR33 is such a fun car !
Long story short , he LOVED the JZA80 and we both agreed on trading the cars . We exchanged the keys , shook hands , exchanged phone number for future communication and we both drove off .
*Fast forward few days later to yesterday*
Well , let´s do a little overhaul of the car shall we ? !
It´s a 1996 Series 2 " Base " Model so no V-spec just a normal S2 BCNR33 , almost 100%
stock for some engine mods here and there , 67 xxx.xxx Km´s on the clock confirmed
The interior have a littlebit of wear here and there , for example on the steering wheel
or the seats from daily driving but overall it´s a pretty clean interior . It´s crazy to me that the car is almost untouched ,
even the interior ! Stock shifter , stock seats , stock everything !
The exterior of the car have some rock chips on the front bumper from being a daily but other than that the exterior is
pretty spotless with no rust whatsoever ! At the end of the day this car was used as a daily so i´m not even
surprised about the rock chips on the front bumper , might need a simple respray but for now it´s nothing crazy .

And what are the plans ? Well , as you guys know R33 is my favorite car of all time and i always dreamed of having a BCNR33 GT-R in my garage so i´m gonna build this car for myself , slowly but very precisely with attention to functionality .My plan is to build the ultimate BCNR33 of my dreams and beat the crap out of it on the track once in a while .
And thats it ! That´s the story of how i got myself my absolute dream car !
Also yep , the ER34 got some new goodies here and there but thats for another update H I H E . See you next time !
