I've owned this car for 6 years and had the RB20 put in 4years ago, 1 of which it's been sitting in my driveway due to fixing (and moreso my slackness).

Approximately 160,00kms.

Here are a few things that are included:

Induction:

K&N pod filter; stock AFM; VG30 ball bearing turbo; R33 GTR intercooler (a few dents but no troubles); custom cooler piping.

Exhaust:

3" s/steel dump pipe; full 3" mild steel mandrel bent exhaust with hi-flow cat and big muffler & tip.

Driveline:

Stock RB20DET; highly lightened flywheel; brand new heavy duty Xtreme clutch (under 200kms); R32 5spd gearbox; stock tailshaft but recently replaced centre bearing; Silhouette LSD with 4.11 gears.

Wheels & Brakes:

17" Performance rims with good tyres; slotted rotors, rebuilt callipers, and EBC Greenstuff pads (stops on a dime!!).

Suspension:

Front coilovers made from KYB shocks and 8kg Aurora springs; rear has lowered King Springs and Monroe shocks (kind of old now though); front and rear Whiteline swaybars; and a front Nolethane brand front strut brace; all wheel bearings, ball joints, and front tie rod ends have roughly 1 year's use (same as rotors, pads & callipers).

Interior & Exterior:

Very few scratches and maybe 1 or 2 minor dents over whole body; bumpers not great, but mainly a few scuffs; bonnet and roof resprayed only 2 weeks ago; interior in good condition, front seats a bit stained and a wear through the material on side of driver's seat. Carpet clean but a bit shabby, especially under driver's feet (would suit new carpet). Door trims excellent, clean and no tears. Also comes with Momo steering wheel and Auto Meter boost gauge. Dash is in great condition with no cracks or scratches; console good too, no looseness, but some paint wear on regularly used knobs etc.

Stereo:

JVC MP3 player with remote; a 2-channel DLS amp; and Kenwood front speakers.

Miscellaneous:

Brand new battery. Has a Walbro fuel pump too.

A few issues:

Gearbox has a noisy bearing (has had since I put it in, not real loud but noticeable), though does not detract from performance in any way. Needs a good tune. Has a bit of lag, but as I used it mainly for hills driving I kept it in high revs anyway so did not bother me. When full boost kicks in though it really moves. A smaller (maybe stock) turbo would solve this, or a good tune with chipped or after market ECU.

Car comes with receipts for most, if not all work done. I'm fairly certain I've mentioned everything, but it's possible I've missed things.

Registered as RB20 with RB20 engine number on rego, so no cop problems!!

Price is $7,500, but is also negotiable. No reasonable offer refused.

PM or call or SMS me on 0402005664 for a look and a test drive.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
