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

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
