This is possibly that very car, although this picture was taken in NSW. I'm not in a position to give much away at this stage, suffice to say the owner is a bloody funny chap, loves big Nissan horsepower and says the GT-R is simply awesome. I'm reporting the story on my site as it develops and I'm hoping to get a ride in this GT-R on the track in the coming weeks - a video will be made... This isn't the car that will be at the Melbourne Motor Show. The link to the story and more pics is R35 GT-R compliance As an ex-R33 GT-R owner I've got more than a soft spot for the R35.

The deal went ahead yesterday Burnsey.

Looks as though the GTR has found a new home. If deal falls through I will re-advertise on the forum.

I sent 4 emails with 2 pics to an email. When I tried sending them all it bounced back. Let me know if any problems.

Sorry for leaving the Klms out... Its just gone over 90,000.

This GTR has been my company vehicle for the last 5 years and has reached the end of its finance term. Serviced with Mobil 1 every 5000klms and fastidiously maintained. The few modifications I have made have been to aid driveability and include the following; Bilstein suspension front and rear Whiteline swaybars DBA kangaroo-paw front brake discs AVO intercooler Apexi PFC Apexi N1 cat back exhaust The standard clutch was replaced last year with an Excedy heavy duty (but still organic plate) clutch as the original clutch was beginning to slip. Inside and out it is in immaculate and original condition and includes a Nizmo 320 kph instrument cluster. This is a tight, straight and rattle free GTR. Unless you decide to modify further, this car does not need any money spent on it. I am interested in a quick sale to a genuine buyer, hence the asking price of $33,500. Unfortunately, my photos are "too large" to upload at the moment so I will re-size them tonight and post them tomorrow. In the meantime, if you want to see the photos pm me and I'll send them to you via email.

My experience with the GTR (no remote oil cooler)is as follows, Castrol R 10W-60 - Has good oil pressure showing on the gauge but fuel economy and performance seem to suffer marginally. Just feels less happy to rev. Worst thing about it was that it consistantly had the engine oil temp up around 100 degrees on constant highway speeds and was quick to go higher if pushing the car. Mobil 1 10w-30 - Lower indicated oil pressure when warm but still acceptable. Revs easier but the biggest difference is that the oil temp sits around 85 degrees on the highway and is much slower to rise when the car is pushed hard. I am very specific about using the 10w-30 and not the other Mobil 1 types. Personally, I feel far more comfortable with a little less indicated oil pressure but cooler running and more stable oil temp. I've used all sorts of oil in all sorts of cars and they have always come out black (even with new cars) so its never been a concern for me. Only car that I've ever seen drop clean looking oil after a service was a holden ute that ran on LPG. I cant fault the Mobil 1 but having said that would be keen to give the Redline stuff a try at some stage and see if theres a difference.

Gojira...So sorry mate. I was actually putting together a quick response while at work because I thought it was an important topic. Thanks for your response, it displayed an abundance of intelligence and maturity beyond your years!
