okay its time to let my car go and move on to other things in my life..

it is a genuine 1996 GTR R33 LM Vspec, one of the 98 ever made..mechanically there is not a lot of difference..but it is a special edition car..

i imported the car at the beginning of 2006 with genuine 68000ks on the clock. It was a grade 4 with interior grade B on the auction sheet.

i did a conpression test when i first got the car and it returned very good result-165 across every cynlider. it has always been serviced for every 5000ks or under, and it has been taken very good care of. ( any of you who know me would know i always wanted the best for this car)

I have done a few minor mods since...things i have now:

HKS cat back exhaust

Power FC

Tomei Cam Gears with aftermarket timing belt

GReedy Profec B Boost controller

GReedy Auto Timer

Apexi Induction kit

19 Row oil cooler with relocator

along with other little things

it was tuned by Gavin Wood/Matt Spry back last year, and on 12psi it had about 290awhp

all the mods were done while i had a big big plan for it as i always wanted to build a track/road car..but financially it is not possible for me at this stage so i have to move on from it..

now the car has about 88000ks on it, and i have all the receipts and paperwork from the day i imported it.

so this car has never ever seen the track/drag strip..and it has never been thrashed because i love this car.. ( a lot of you who know me know i dont thrash cars)

this is not the quickest GTR, but it has been taken very good care of and it has never broken down on me. if you want something reliable and to build it yourself, this is the car to buy

the price i am asking for is 38000 with a set of Nismo LM-GT1 wheels (newish 275/18/35)

or with stock R33 GTR wheels for 36000...ono

oh before you ask, the car is in its original colour..it has never been in any accidents so yeah. its definately not one of those dodgy resprays

i may be interested in trading for a post 2004 car.

yeah this is about it..making up my mind to sell it is the hardest bit really.

cheers!!!!

anyone out there interested make an offer..this thing needs a new home

yeh i think it is man, some ppl dont appreciate em on here:(... but anyway i dont care... ur gtr is beautiful man i hope you can sell her then and hopefully to me haha catcha mate goodluck

34000 with stock GTR wheels

Hi Frank,

Hope you aren't too disappointed in a replacement car. But $35K would make a good downpayment on a home - to be realistic.

However, I'm interested in the Nismo LM1 Wheels and I'm wondering if they'll fit a R34 GT-R since I may purchase them as a spare set.

Can you also take photos of each them incl. gutter rash on any and send them to [email protected] I'd appreciate that.

Thanks heaps,

Terry

been talking to someone who knows a bit more than me about the price of LMs, and realised that it was priced too low

however if you are genuinely interested we can talk about the price..

yeah 38000 is with LMGT1s

Guys this is very cheap for a genuwine LM GTR, one recently went nearly double this price. I would snap it up so it can sit next to my LM but i have no room.

Good luck Frank

Cheers Thraso

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
