Firstly let me just say that this is an awesome car worth every cent of the asking price. The work carried out and mods are top notch.

I do have one question....I've read a lot of articles on this car as I have been in the skyline game for a fair while now and it has appeared in many a magazine. In one such article I'm pretty sure that I read this car was a nuts and bolts rebuild using only genuine GTR parts but using a gtst chassis...can anyone confirm or deny this?

it's a damn nice car. I dunno if I personally would pay $120K for it, but I don't doubt that they would have spent more than that building it. as for it being "re vinned as a GTR" not possible. it's a GTS. I can't be "re-vinned" there is no such thing.

hmmm there are alot of cars u can get for 120k

think the gold top secret went for less that was years ago and that was genuine GTR etc...

my 2cents

The gold R33 was not an actual Top Secret demo car - And was sold for mid $90k around 4 years ago from memory.

It has been sold again since as most people know, thought for around half the price.

Your correct though - $120k buys you a LOT of car these days.

funny enough theres alot of "mystery" about that car, which is very political.

i can say i would spend 120k on a non genuine, dont care how much is spend

alot of "clean " mods should raise the price on a quality car but there is a limit

this quote is off their webpage

Q: What are the bits and pieces you put in this car?


A: Take one 1997 V Spec GT-R completely strip, take one 1993 GT-R race car and remove it's engine, coolers etc. Take one 1994 GTS4 completely strip. Mix them all together and bake for 620 hours.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
