wheres the front mount ic gone? i didnt think gtr's had side mounts.............lol

the front mount is still clearly there...

It is very rare to find these Skylines outside of Japan.

obviously never been to sydney :)

The insurance company settled with the owner for $45,000.

ha ha! the owner would be laughing! value of car + original engine + seats + brakes + wheels etc... what a champ!

Wow, that is scary. Someone will end up crying over that car. It looks like it WAS a genuine GTR at some point, based on this pic:

But everything that makes a GTR something more than "just" a GTS4 is gone! Someone will see GTR on Ebay, go yes yes yes buy buy buy, then cry cry cry when they realise they have been screwed out of $US18000.

I also can't beleive that the previous owner for $45k for that GTR! That is almost BMW M3 money in America!

baaahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaf**khead yanks

* Roof needs a new skin, or repair existing roof

* Right quarter panel needs repair

* Right door needs body work. The mirror is missing and the door post is torn. It will need a replacement piece and some welding for repair.

* Both fenders are damaged

* Three of the rims are damaged as shown in the photo. They are in a condition where they could still be rebuilt/refurbished.

* Front bumper has some cracks in the bottom portion (repairable)

* Spoiler has a crack on the left side (repairable)

* Needs a front windshield, the rear and rear quarter glass

* Needs the right side skirt

thats so funny!!! the MPH on the speeedo is a pisser! it looks like it was a GTR the car is a wreck look around the pics heeps of F*cked cars... its clearly a RB20 motor and Single Turbo..

the fan showed isnt there

no air box

no exeleration cable

his taken everything that was worth something.. to bad he didnt see the suspension..

i think the car was rolled. and the compliance on the car was so dodgy.

its been relisted:

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! wait a minute.... *wipes tear from eye* BAAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Nice! I want one of those RB20 GTR's... where do I get one?? And what the fcuk?? Like he's taken the seats oot and GTS seat in...?? This guy's good... really good...

Im convinced that it was a GTR once apon a time...

Im certain he must have done a swapsy with an r32 cause all the good bits are gone...

(Cut wiring loom) Dont you mean wiring loom is not compatible so they just left it.... LOL

This is a top find Funky

It was one of only a handful Motorex complied GTR's in America, and is worth money to someone as it is federally legal in 50 states. Since Motorex is out of business, skylines are a thing of the past there, so its definately worth it to someone. Considering your average R33 GTR cost $30-45k over there, you could get it fixed up for a similar overall price.

that was priceless. well the bloke figured out what happend and re-listed with some changes to the ad. it has now sold for $15K US.

basically appart from the body damage you would need:

engine, clutch and poissibly gearbox. brakes, repair engine loom, and new seats. that's about it i think. not too bad. BUT the car has been pretty heavily crashed so you'd still be spending money fixing the damage.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
