thanks corinne. you are right. I just used it last weekend to empty out my storage unit and I was able to fit the whole lot into the truck (2 beds, fridge, 2 couches, arm chair, tables, boxes the whole lot). I'm going to use it again this weekend to move a whole bunch of stuff out of the house and into the apartment, but after that I really need it gone. :(

so someone please come and make me an offer on it!

someone buy me! still for sale. used it again the other day to move some furniture. great truck to drive, very good on fuel considering it's size. :P

I'll drop the price down a bit for any SAU related buyer too so don't be shy. :)

still for sale. you are looking at a saving of about $10K compared to importing one like this now. awesome truck, so make me an offer. :P

still got this bad boy. now my freeloading mates are borrowing it to move house! help the baron out. spencer is out there right now terrorising people by using the exhaust brake milimeters off their bumper!!

dropped the price to $20,000 flat. usually at this price point all you could get would be a shagged out truck with 300,000kms+. this one is immaculate and good value at $20K. I just need the $$.

It's too narrow for a 3x2=6 pallets Mr Baron, will only take 3x1=3 pallets. Also being non-turbo it will be flatout doing 95km/h on the freeway, less with a tonne in the back, but will certainly get up any hill due to the low gearing.

Definitely looks very clean inside and out. What year model is it? i'm guessing about 2000-2002.

Reasonable price, pity im not financial because I definitely do need a truck for work - my little hiace is just way too small these days.

could be right benny about the pallets. but I think it'll fit 4. when I had 2 in there from memory they were short of half way. i've had it up about 120km on the freeway though. umm I mean 110 officer. :) that's probably with only a 500-600 or so kg in the back. but you are right the gearing is pretty low. first gear gets you to all of about 10km/h. not needed for anything except parking. it does give it decent acceleration though. plus I guess trucks aren't supposed to go past 100 these days (doesn't seem to stop semi drives...)

i'm not sure on the year, have to check the papers at home. it looks the same as one generation behind the current model though, so maybe 10years old or so? it is mint though and has all the service history since brand new. every 10,000kms or less.

anyway looks like i'm doomed to be free truck rental for my mates for the foreseeable future. :P

Don't spose you wanna lease it to me Mr Baron for the next couple of years? (I aint kidding)

at this rate I could be pretty tempted. :)

yep it's still chugging away at my parents place on the sunny northshore. very keen to shift it. you'd be hard pressed to find a better condition truck for this money. i've been all over it, under it and inside it and it's nice all over. all log books and every single service receipt is there and it's always been serviced on time. :down:

want this farker gone. guess I really should advertise it somewhere but god dammit i'm lazy! so if anyone's keen come check it out. just putting new rego on it on monday and want it gone for $18,000...

I just put 6 months rego on it yesterday, farken $800 worth of blue slip, green slip and rego.

I'm feeling festive at the moment, so Beer Baron is slashing prices on all his quality autos. lol. $17,500 flat will see you drive off in JDM trucking style. I'll even chuck in a packet of mild sevens and a can of boss coffee so you can really look and smell like a JDM trucker...

well i have to pick up a scooter in this thing next week but after that I really want to sell this truck. sick of looking at it every time I go to my parents place! someone buy it and enjoy. I did take it on a big drive the other day (with a full load of furniture in the back) from chatswood to liverpool and it travelled fine on freeways (m5) etc. no trouble cruising on 110 even with the full load and no trouble getting up those hills in 5th even at lower speeds like 80 etc in the m5 tunnel. it's still running like clockwork and the AC was awesome (was about 30degrees that day!).

it really is a great truck. someone make me an offer I can't refuse.

going through the want to sell my truck phase again. just had to renew rego etc and sick of paying for the bugger purely so my family and friends have a nice handy truck to use whenever they want!

now asking $17K flat with rego etc and brand new $400 worth of batteries. Truck is absolutely mint. I can't describe how well looked after it is. I have every single service receipt for it since brand new and they were all done at an isuzu/nissan dealership and ALL completed in under 10,000kms. It's super reliable and longing for a new trucking home. :)

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
