Hi Guys,

Well the time has come. As most of you would know I currently have 3 cars (2 skylines) and I now have another one on the way. So I need the space and the money. So sadly the little GTST has to go. A bit of history. Mark Hocking purchased this car for me just before the 15yo rule change after a few months of searching for a neat, good condition 32 we bought this one at USS Gold in Kyushu. Those of you who know Mark Hocking would know his reputation for finding good cars is second to none. After that I imported the car in late 2005 and had it complied here in Sydney at Grey Import in Annandale. Again, anyone who knows Nathan would know they do top work. I registered the car in March 2006 and have just re-registered it again so it comes with 12 months rego, and of course 12 months green slip (together worth nearly $1K). I also bought custom plates for it which read HCR 32M I've just paid another 12 months fees on them too ($90 a year). They are cool plates for a 32 GTST Type M and I'll through them into the deal. Ok, the car. It was a 2 owner car in japan and completely stock when I got it except for a cat back (very deep and quiet sound). It still had stock air-box, stock wheels, stock steering wheel, stock boost etc etc you get the idea. It has ~150kms and has had a timing belt change, and a head service in japan. Engine, clutch and gearbox are all in good condition. Since I've owned it I've added the following:

Forged Blitz racing wheels 17X9 +30 all round (perfect look for a GTST) these are a very rare and expensive japanese wheel - I have all 4 genuine Blitz centre caps, and lock nuts for them, but just haven't put them on as I thought they loooked cool without them on.

Falken 235/45/17 inch tyres all in good condition, done a max of 5000kms. Same size all round gives it a nice look. They look quite fat on the +30 offset rims.

R32 GTR front seats (both in good condition, passenger seat does have 1 small burn from before I bought it, drivers seat is perfect though)

Apexi Power intake kit (for that nice induction note)

HKB boss kit

D1 quick release hub

Nardi Personal 350mm steering wheel

Trust Gear Knob

Cusco side number plate mount

Sony MP3 head unit

Rebuilt the Alternator

I also have the following parts I've been building up for it, but not yet fitted. If I get a fair price these will all come with the car:

4X Sony 6 inch 2 way speakers

bleed valve type boost controller

genuine autometer boost guage

genuine ARC intercooler kit (side mount)

stock air box

stock front seats

Brand new front slotted rotors (think I may have a set or rears too, will have to check my parts haul!)

ok, known issues with the car: It currently has squekey front bushes (I should have these done before sale), front passenger windo switch is broken (I stuffed it when removing the door trim, should also be fixed before sale), stereo is installed but not wired up (I put it in, but ran out of time to do the wiring - only a 30min job), bonnet is slightly out of whack on the drivers side (i left a socket up the top after changing the battery, then closed the bonnet and left it like that for a week! it slightly bent the hinge, could be re-allinged with a mate and some patientce). Other than those things the car is very good. and is in nice shape mechanically. I mean it is a 15yo car so it's not perfect, but it hasn't been thrashed. It was clearly used just as a daily driver in japan as it had no mods whatsoever.

As you can see there is a boat load of potential in this car. I just don't have the time to give it any decent attention as I'm focussed on the GTR atm, and I don't even drive any of my cars to work. It's a waste of space and money for me. :) I bought this car to have fun with on the street and at club days as I was sick of worrying about blowing up or smashing the GTR but with all the cars I have I really need to sell it.

Car is available for viewing or test drive in Sydney, northshore. PM me with interest. Don't be shy, give the beer mobile a new home. :D

forgot to mention, the car will be going in for a service next week. Oil used is Motul 8100. One less thing for the new owner to worry about. Oh, of course it can be registered in any state. I have all the paper work. Rego, engineers report, import approval, inspection certificate etc. And it has a mod plate affixed to the engine bay, and a full aus vin plate too. This will save you head aches if registering in other states.

oops, forgot price. $13,200 (inc 12 months rego and all the extra parts) There is thousands of dollars just in the bits I have bought for it, let alone the value of the car, and 12 months rego is just a bonus. ;) The price is a little negotiable, so if interested and you have cash in your pocket there is no harm in making an offer. The worst I can say is "no". :O

another week begins with too many cars in the stable. surely someone wants a neat, manual 32 GTST with just a few nice little mods? It's great on fuel too. it get's close to double the mileage of my GTR!!

thanks mate. yeah, it's a good honest car. it's nothing extraordinary, but it's straight, in good shape, and has honest kms. I should mention the rear type M pods are currently off (see pics) as they both have little cracks underneath. I was going to put them back on, but might leave them off, i think it looks a bit cleaner without them. The new owner can have them though. They are the genuine nissan ones, not copys.

I am picking up an R33 GTR today, so I REALLY need the GTST out of my hair. If you are looking for a 32, give me a call I'm sure we can work something out as I'm now in a spot with too many cars :D

car is being serviced this week with Motul 8100 synthetic as a little gift for the new owner :happy:

had quite a few calls this week, and car should be back with me tomorrow so I'm hoping it will be gone by next week.

yep, still for sale. getting serviced tomorrow, but I should have it back tomorrow arvo. :D

sorry, but no swaps :P I just need cash, and space!

rb27tt i remember you. so sad your silvia was stolen. I hope it's returned to you mate. fingers crossed.

it was less than I wanted to accept, and more than they wanted to pay....

sorry mark, it's not up to me to disclose.

Anyway, farewell little GTST :pirate:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
