The total cost in Australia at this price range is estimated to be from $22,500 to $31,000 landed.

Yes this is nice, but just let you know this isn't a genuine GTR as it doesn't have the twin cam engine. This is the L28 engine that they put in the GT and GTX cars. Also for a genuine Hakkosuka GTR you'd be looking at a price of over 6,000,000 yen or A$60,000. Most of the Hakkosuka style 2 door cars now have GTR "look alike" parts on them that can be bought from specialist tuning houses.

Actually, they never put the L28 in any of the C10 Skylines.

Yes, you're right. They never put the L28 in any of the cars made at the time it was the L20. What I meant was, most of the GT and GTX cars you find now for sale in Japan have the L28 fitted. In any case an original Hakosuka GTR has the twin cam S20 engine.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
