  1. Sounds like needs quite a bit. Thanks for the info Ian.
  2. Unless you're swapping a near new Jeep Grand Cherokee, sorry no.
  3. Mate, not arrogant, just telling it like it is. Seriously, who is going to sell their car and not put it on carsales these days? The people who advertise in the hardcopy trading post? And let me know where I can get this 22k R34 GTR. Sounds interesting.. How much work does it need? I'm assuming it's still a car with an engine and not a stripped out shell?
  4. 6k price drop to $37,990. Now cheapest R34 GTR in Australia on carsales. Follow new link here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/436321-melbourne-cheapest-r34-gtr-in-australia/
  5. Mine's the cheapest advertised price on carsales, so sorry can't go any lower. Check it out. I dunno where this 34k one is, but the owner's probably not serious about selling if he didn't put it on there.
  6. Hi guys, there has been a massive $6k price drop from $43,990 to $37,990 for my 2001 Silver R34 GTR (non v-spec). This makes it the cheapest R34 GTR in oz as of writing this. Please note due to this, the price is non-negotiable and I am not looking to trade. Selling because my partner and I want to start a family so I need to get a family car. 77,000 genuine kms. It's also on carsales (put car id in keyword field 2258232 or http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2001/SSE-AD-2258232/?Cr=0&sdmvc=1). PM or call me if interested 0490 147 356 (Michael). 321 kw at wheels (approx 400 at flywheel), tuned by Racepace Motorsports. Passed compression test there with flying colours. Very smooth power delivery on the power curve. See attached dyno. Rare 2001 Series II model with nicer black interior. Non-smoker owner. Well-looked after, always garaged. Comes with an English translation of original manual. I have never parked it outside overnight. Insured with Shannons. Only BP Ultimate and fully synthetic oils (Motul 300V/Castrol Edge) used. Driven rarely, only on weekends. Has never been in a major accident nor been to the track/in competitions, etc. There is no insurance for those events and I couldn't afford to repair/replace it. I bought this from a motor dealer (his private car) in 2008 for a lot more than I am selling, when it had done 49,000 kms. I have serviced it regularly, (usually 6 monthly) with stamps, odometer readings, invoices from Chasers. All recommended maintenance work carried out with no expense spared. Mechanically A1. Mods are virtually undetectable from stock-looking engine bay: Upgraded Garrett turbo 2860-5 x 2 (can support up to 400 kw at wheels if you decide to upgrade engine internals in the future) Apexi pod air filter HKS Cam Pulley/Gears HKS Fine Tune Timing Belt NGK Iridium Spark Plugs Splitfire coilpacks Upgraded PWR 700 cc fuel injectors x 6 Nismo Super Coppermix Twin Plate Clutch Apexi PowerFC with hand controller tuned by Racepace Motorsport HKS split/dump/extension pipes HKS Hi-Power cat-back exhaust Remsa brake pads New Ultima Red-Top 800 CCA battery Xenon HID headlights Black Widow car alarm & immobiliser Apexi turbo timer Aftermarket sound system: JVC KD-AVX2 head unit with 3.5" widescreen colour monitor/mp3/CD/DVD player and remote, MTX Thunder 3404 108Wx4 amp with test certificate, JBL 12" 1000W CS1204 subwoofer in custom-made enclosure in boot. It is directly connected to the chassis with high tensile strength 10mm removable bolts (no drilling), and is rock solid, so won't budge at all even under the most spirited driving conditions eg., if you wanted to take it to the track you wouldn't need to remove it first, although it is easily removable if you wish, and the spare tyre is still under it. Almost new 265/35/R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 2s/Super sports on original GTR rims. Factory optioned (street legal) privacy glass rear window and rear 3/4 windows with street legal tinted front windows (Tint-a-car) I have removed rear wing recently to improve rear view vision, but can re-install if you want. Rear wing comes included with car. The car is in good mechanical and cosmetic condition as you can see also from the unedited carsales photos. There are a few minor paintwork bumps and scratches on the front and rear bumper from shopping centres/public carparks that aren't obvious enough to show up on the photos, but nothing unexpected and average for a 12 year old car that has been garaged. Just wanted to make sure we were on the same page, so you weren't expecting a mint car for this price. I still have all the OEM factory turbos, ECU, air intake, injectors, dump pipes, etc and they can be added for a negotiable price if desired. Otherwise I'll sell them separately for parts. This car easily passed a RWC in Jan 2013, when I got one to see if I had to change anything to prepare it for sale (I didn't). It also does not attract unwanted attention as it looks stock.
  7. Passed a bayside blue R34 GTR going the other direction as I was heading down the road to the Spirit in Devonport in my silver one couple weeks back.
  8. Hi guys, selling my car because my partner and I want to start a family so I need to get a family car. 77,000 genuine kms. It's also on carsales. $43,900. PM or call me if interested 0490 147 356 (Michael). Not an urgent sale, but I just don't drive it much at all to justify keeping it at my stage in life. 321 kw at wheels (approx 400 at flywheel), tuned by Racepace Motorsports.

It also does not attract unwanted attention as it looks stock. Please note I have temporarily removed the rear wing to improve visibility, as I like the sleeker look. The wing comes with the car and can be easily screwed back if required.
  9. Thanks. Came off slowly but nicely. Excellent advice!
  10. Cool, got my defect cleared. Took the Vicroads chick all of 5 seconds. No one came out to inspect the vehicle, but they wouldn't remove the defect notice. She said I had to do it myself. It's glued on pretty well, can't seem to get it off without tearing it. What's the best way to remove it? I've searched SAU but no love. Googled and random things like hairdryer, solvents, nail polish remover, eucalyptus oil, razor blades, paint scrapers all came up. What's the SAFEST option for not scratching the crap out of the windscreen? I don't mind a bit more work. Thanks guys.
  11. Thanks guys, super sports fitted. v. happy with it over last couple of weeks, but will take a bit longer to bed them in i think. tire-rack as usual were awesome - delivered to doorstep 3 business days after wire transfer cleared.
  12. That is very lucky. By the way, what is the deal with major defect notice in terms of driving it. There are two dates given: - 7 days post defect, "this vehicle must not be used on or after... etc" - 1 month post defect, after which the vehicle's registration may be suspended by Vicroads if not cleared by then. How about the time between the two dates? Can you still drive the car to the mechanic to rectify defects, get RWC, or to Vicroads to clear it? I called Vicroads and the girl seemed to think that was the case (they only seemed to care about the later date), but I have heard from other people that you need to get some $40 permit during this time??? She didn't know anything about it. The vicroads talks about an unregistered permit, but that doesn't seem to be what is needed - because the car's registration is still valid for 1 month post defect. The 7 days just seems to be an arbitrary time period the cops give, but do they enforce not driving between the 7-28 day time period, even if you're just going to mechanic/Vicroads? Any one know for sure?? Thanks.
  13. cool thanks guys! hope the guy who does my RWC knows this. what reference can I give that has the OEM intercooler size written down? tried looking in my translated manual and googling but no luck. thanks.
