Hey All

FS: 1997 S3 R33 GTR V-Spec

Time to sell the GTR. It is a genuine rarity, being a Series 3 V-Spec and having only 33k on it. You can tell the kms are genuine from the wear (or lack of) on the seats, steering wheel, pedals, engine bay etc.

Aside from that I know the history, I bought it off a bloke in his 50s, who has had the car in Australia since 1999. And obviously, has done bugger all driving since then. It is stock, never been 'boosted' and even still has the stock exhaust. I searched a long time for a car like this.

This week on 19 February the car had a full mechanical inspection by Trojan Motorsports (at a potential buyers request) with great results confirming the cars condition, compression test: 1-150, 2-147, 3-147, 4-147, 5-150, 6-147.

Sold guys :laugh:

are you sure it has only 32,000km? From the photos it doesn't look it. Has it had rear end damage? The GTR badge is not placed in the standard spot and the boot lock has been broken off. What happen to the front lip, it doesn;t line up correctly? No offence but my 105,000km 1997 GTR looks in better condition.

Definitely 32kms, it is clear when viewed in real life - engine bay looks new apart from being sprayed the wrong colour back in the late 90s by the Japanese owner. The seat, steering wheel and pedals are as new. The old bloke previous owner damaged the lip (it is low), I ended up taking it off. It had a respray after being keyed - the badge was removed and replaced then. The boot lock badge I don't know about. Very, very minor details considering the car as a whole package and the obvious value.

Please don't attempt to discredit my ad, for what reason? I mean, why bother? I complemented your car you are trying to sell - a high km, recent import (?), non-V-Spec S3 - based on some lovely pics you took. Why go out of your way to question my car? The cynic in me wonders if you are worried about your car being in direct competition with mine?

New Pics (washed it today and it didn't rain this time so looks OK :D)

just how negotiable are you? :huh:

A bit... depends on a few things, like what you have in mind? :)

I can get pics of whatever you want, understand you live interstate (I am on Ausrotary too).

Man the car is stunning! No other words can come close to how much i love and want this car! If sales fall through (sincerly doubt they will because of quality of car) let me know if you want to straight swap for my S14a show car, sadly i dont think it will happen though.

Good luck with sale and if you really wanna swap i am more than willing to have a GTR in my hands and you have a high quality S14a.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
