Hi everyone,

I've had my GTR for a year now but i need garage space and another $30K to help me into my next project car. I wouldnt be selling it if I could put 3 cars under the house. The car is not 100% perfect which you would say for any 10 year old car, but its exceptional for its age. The underside of the car is perfectly clean and as you can see from the pics the outside of the car is very good as well.

I've had the car up on a hoist and had the entire undercarridge checked, suspension etc and nothing is worn at all. This was done recently when I fitted a Sydney Kid tuned bilsten kit. The car is tuned to about 260kw on max boost which i've only driven the car on once. I drive the car daily on 0.8bar max. In the past year i've put 5000K on the clock. The car has never missed a beat.

When i have changed anything on the car I have used only top shelf parts. Thats redline fluids, the ARC air box, hioctane catch can and the PWR radiator. These were only replaced to upgrade from things that were showing signs of wear. The water pump, timing belt and adjustable gears were installed when i purchard the car at 55,000k's as a precaution. It was my intention to add some GTSS's and HKS dumps and tune it to about 280kw and keep it as a fun daily driver. But above all I wanted to keep that drivability and reliability.

When i purchased the car there was some signs of neglect in some areas from the previous owner which I have been gradually fixing over time. Nothing serious, just cosmetic stuff. So Ive purchased new front under-trays, re-wired the stereo properly etc, new engine bay bonnet sound deadening pad etc. I had a clutch booster fail as well, so that was replaced with a new one and i had the clutch MC re-sleaved with a stainless sleve.

The series 3 front lip is scratched and the paint is coming off, so i am having that touched up over the next few weeks.

Hi All,

I'm dropping the price of my GTR and am offering some options to try to sell the car faster. I am upgrading to an R34 so this car has got to go.

First off I have done some upgrades to the car since the first post.

I have added a PLX Devices wideband AFR system using the DM100 and SM-AFR kit. I was about to add turbo's and do the 300kw upgrade but ive decided I want an R34 GTR instead. All it needs is injectors, turbos and a tune. (I have a complete trust 8cm T517z kit i may negotiate on as well)

The car now has slotted RDA front rotors, as the old ones were approaching 28.5mm and needed machining.

I have also had the front bar re-sprayed so the car looks great now. You will notice the N1 vents are not glued in yet as I've been told to let the paint harden for a week first. They get glued in on the coming weekend.

Ive had a tuner check out the tune and it is safe, and the Power FC version is 4.10.

The CD stacker has been upgraded to a 6 disc MP3 stacker.

The Multi-media system has an upgrade arriving soon that will allow it to play DVD, MPEG4 and DIVX movies from DVD disc or USB memory stick. I'll have that put in the the car when it arrives, no change to sale prices.

Ive added $1500 worth of sub and amp too the boot, but I want to keep that unless a new buyer decided they want to pay $1500 for it to keep it in the car.

Here is a pic of the painted front bar...

The Price drop...

As it is at the moment with all the specs listed in the first post plus this one I'll take $28,000 for it.

If i remove the DM100 and SM-AFR kit and the PWR Radiator, and put the stock GTR radiator back in the car i'll take $1,000 off the price.

I also have two other suspension options that I can swap into the car to further reduce the price. I can put in a set of factory R34 GTR shocks with either stock or lowered springs and i'll accept $27,000.

Or... I also have a second set of Bilsteins with some lowered progressive rate 4.75 and 3.75KG springs that I can swap into the car, and I will then accept $27,000.

The diference here is the R34 factory GTR suspension is the softest. The Progressive rate bilsteins are a little firmer than the Sydney Kid setup and would be ideal if you were able to participate in the occasional track day (which I can never do as Cairns has no tracks and the worst roads in the country...:D ).

I have a heap of stock parts left as well. Stock shifter, rear camber adjustment bushes and some other things... I am willing to negotiate. With everything pulled out if the car that will unbolt and stock parts restored i'll part with it for $25,000.. So there are options.

Current K's are just under 62,000. Next service due at 65,000k

12 months rego was just paid, expires 6/2009.

No tyre kickers or low ball offers.

Cheers,

Ian

Ok another update...

Ive put in a new windscreen last week as the old one had a few scratches on it. N1 vents are re-fitted and the Alpine multimedia system has had a DVD/USB memory stick player added that will play MPEG4/DIVX and ever other known video format. Very cool, its like a mobile cinema now.

Ive added a few more pics of the car as it is now.

Price is now $30k as it is now, or $28500 without the boot sub + amp. Yes Ive put the price back up a little. Frankly Im not broke nor desperate to sell it, and I have seen the quality of the other GTR's on offer and they arent even close to the condition of mine. (with the exceptoin of a red R33 also listed on this forum which is also a good buy).

Here are some pics.. Its overcast and raining so im going to take some more next week outside if its sunny. Yes that is AVP2 playing on the DVD.

PM or call me if your interested. Its going on carsales next week.

Cheers,

Ian 0434147478

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
