    1997 Nissan Gtr V-Spec S3 - Black

    in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)

    Posted

    Hey, most of those pics are how the car looks at the moment, some of the pics are older ones on flicker that just happen to be on my flickr account. I will take some of the interior with in the next few days. I have attached a few pics of the car the last time i took it out of the garage. My mate and I gave it a detailing a month or 2 ago and its just been stored in the garage since.

    I got the EPA about 4 months after having the car, then drove it around for a few more months after getting an extension on the EPA. I did most of my kms on the car in the first 6-7 months of ownership, I was loving it driving it every chance I got. Anyway by the time i took it off the road found all the stock parts for it, got the stock parts fitted and then did the EPA it was almost a 10-11 months. Then i noticed that the head gasket was seeping. From then on I rarely drove it, and was procrastinating weather to fix the gasket, or to build up the bottom end etc. So unfortunately I never really got around to doing either and every time i had the cash something else more important always came up.

    When driving the car around as it is at the moment, there isn't any overheating issues and the car drives fine, but do enough kms (couple 1000kms) on the car and the oil will slowly start to build up in the coolant. So it is something that you'd want to address. As for getting the car to Sydney i'm sure we could work something out if your interested.

    HISTORY ABOUT THE CAR

    The original owner bought the car stock in Australia from an import yard and soon after having it sent it to Powerplay Imports to get some work done. They took the engine out and overhauled it and put on the above modifications (pics of the engine bay are from when Powerplay import did the work).The original owner spent over $15,000 on the upgrades. After all the modifications were performed the car was sent to Tune House and got a reading of 290 rwkw, at the rear wheels at 1.2 bar of boost. The second owner I bought it off got it re-dynoed IS Motor Racing and it achieved 243.8 rwkw (1.2 bar) on a hub dyno, which apparently is known to have low readings.

    This car has been garaged and driven minimally for the entire time I have had it. It currently has 102,000kms, and I have put less than 20,000kms on it in 3+ years. About 4 months after I bought the car I was pinned by the cops for a full EPA. So I converted everything back to stock which includes;

    Stock: Fuel Pump, Injectors, ECU, Fuel Pressure regulator, Boost Controller etc, basically everything needed to pass the EPA.

    The car is still in this condition, so it currently has the following standard components fitted to the car: ECU, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator.

    MODS that are currently on the car are: -5 turbos, exhaust, cam gears, boost controller and pod filters, suspension are still in place.

    I still have all the modified parts, and I had the intention of putting the parts back on and re-tuning it however I just never got around to it.

    After I passed the EPA, I realised the head gasket (Nismo head gasket fitted when the engine was overhauled), has a very slight seepage problem, apparently these head gaskets are known to have seepage problems.

    When driving the car I have noticed no difference in temperature, or oil pressure and the car drives fine. All I've noticed is a small amount of oil seeping into the coolant. I would love to be able to fix the head gasket and get back to spec but unfortunately I don’t have money or motivation to do so.

    If you would like any more photos or information or have any questions please PM me.

    Nathan.

    Bosch Gex125 Vs Gex150T

    I bought the 125 and then realised that it was no where near as effective at the 150T as the 150T has both the forced rotation mode (which is what you want) and random orbit. Went out and bought the 150T, as stated before Final Inspection highly recommend this unit, and it makes a big difference having a unit that can do forced rotation. I had to have the 125 held lightly against the cars surface otherwise it would bog down and just vibrate on one spot.

    Hey mate I got the rwc done through a friend of.a friend, but really the only thing visible was the boost controller which he overlooked anyway the rest looked stock apart from the pod filters. That was all that regarding the mods. So I didn't need to change anything. I know if I took it somewhere else they probably would have picked on a few other things.

    Hey mate I bought a modded GTR (turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU etc) from NSW a year or so ago. it still had NSW rego, so all i needed to do was to get a RWC and then just hand the details into VicRoads, because it was already registered under NSW they basically just swapped the details over and there was no need for an inspection. I was also worried I would get reamed if it was to go through an inspection but all was fine.

    I love having a daily and leaving the GTR for weekend use. There have been times where I had to use the GTR as a daily and hated it, leaving it out in bad weather / shopping centres, putting unenjoyable kms on the GTR :( .

    One of the real benefits I like of having a normal daily driver.... when I hop into the GTR on the weekend or the odd weeknight, it feels special and it really does feel like an animal compared to my daily magna. Using the GTR as a daily I became used to the power, didn't feel as special and kind of lost the enjoyment from it (not too much though!).

    What Lens Should I Get?

    yeah my fault should have mentioned what I was intending to shoot. Bascially landscapes, cars, animals & plants, nightshoots of cityscapes including stars (star trails). Will the Tamron 17-55 f/2.8 and/or the Sigma 30 1.4 give me a sharp image of equal quality to the canon (50mm 1.4)?

    Thanks for the advice.
