I have been told to reduce the stable to make way for a V35 so the Auto GTS25t has to go. This is unfortunate as it has been exceptionally reliable and easy to drive around town.

Exterior: It is black with skirts and rear pods and a S1.5 grill. I have painted the brake calipers in Metalcast red crystal. Currently missing the side badges thanks to local kids but I was considering fitting some painted in a black chrome finish. It comes with stock polished wheels or for $700 extra you can have the R34 wheels as photographed. Side windows are tinted but I'd recommend getting them redone.

Engine is stock except for boost lifted slightly. I am developing a cold air intake that takes advantage of opening the top of the airbox. It has so far allowed much smoother power delivery but boost/power is limited by the stock computer which no doubt adds to the reliability.

I have also fitted a nice quiet but free flowing exhaust system that has a nice sound without being annoying as autos can drone too much.

After sourcing new suspension for my track car I fitted the shocks off it to this car. It is RSR springs lowered a small amount and what I can only suspect are stock shocks so a nice combination that saw me circulate Sandown in 1:31 and Phillip Island in 2:00 with Whiteline swaybars on standard rubber.

I have recently replaced both steering rod ends and the Caster rods as they were leaking.

Overall the car is very tidy with recent attention to the paint after I was tagged lightly in the right rear corner and had the bonnet keyed so these areas were repainted and blended and the whole car buffed. The interior still needs a detail to clean throroughly. I have owned the car since I personally imported it in 1999 under the SEVS system. Mileage was 60K km when it arrived and it now has 117K km on the clock. Cam timing belt was replaced at 100K km. Servicing is done every 5000km. Brake pads have plenty left on them as well as they were recently replaced.

I just drove this car to Brisbane from Melbourne over 2 days with no problems, drove very well and averaged 500km to a tank sitting on 110-120kmh

The car will come with a roadworthy.

I'm after $10,000 with the stock polished wheels. All serious offers will be considered.

The car is in Oxley, but I have 5 cars so can't take a trade unless it's a BA series II Boss 260 XR8 ute.

So we going to see you at any club dinners mate? I think Tuesday night is Springfield or something but check the SAUQld website.

Bloody buyin a FORD!? (Dont forget to got to www.Fords.com.au when you do;-)

AND your GTS is too CHEAP! :D

Absolutely mate but I can't tow the boat and have the good life in Brissy without a towbarge. Who'd race a friggin' local built land barge anyway unless the rules said you couldn't use anything with modern engineering?

PS was that you I rudely called today? Sorry to see the uniquest GTS4 ever go on the market mate.

Note it's a GTS25t and my Magna Sports loving mate is using it and cannot believe how good it is. Available after the end of this month so make an outrageous offer.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
