It is with much regret and for a genuine reason that I have to sell my GTR.

The car was purchased at auction on 20 June 2008, delivered to me in October 2008 by Imports 101, went to X-speed for performance upgrade modifications and has travelled less than 1,000 kms in Australia.

There were two marks on the car when I had it delivered, a small pin dent on the passenger door which has been fixed and a small scratch on the front bar which was removed and resprayed. The car is perfect inside and out (the dots on the seats in the pictures below is rain, there are no marks on the seat at all). There is some minor gutter rash on the front left rim which is not really noticeable and can be fixed for $100 at autorim in Malaga.

All engine, coolant, brake, diff's and transfer case fluids have been changed with top of the line Motul (save for the transfer for which genuine Nissan was used).

Details are as follows:

April 1997 Series 3 GTR, genuine grade 4.5 vehicle with 59,125 kms, auction papers and overall internal and external condition prove grade and kilometers are genuine - (there is no star or symbol next to the odometer reading on the auction paper indicating genuine kilometers).

Engine:

all fitted at X-speed and tuned by Ant Scali - less than 750 kms old (all parts purchased new) are as follows:

Tomei poncams type B (260,260,9.15) with adjustable cam gears,

Tomei cam cup stud kit

All new genuine Nissan shims

Mines Cam cover baffle kit

Nismo adjustable fuel regulator

HKS fuel pump

HKS turbo timer

M's power intake

HKS racing chamber kit

Tomei exhaust manifolds

Mines stainless pro front pipes

Kakimoto 3.5 cat back

HKS extension kit

HKS GTSS turbo kit

Sard 700cc injectors

HKS evc 6

PFC djetro

splitfires coil packs

Essential oil catch can with earls lines

Tomei timing belt

N1 water pump

New idler and tensioner pulleys

Custom powder coated engine covers and Tomei decorative spark cover

Car was dynoed at 380 rwhp on run in tune at 16.2psi and obviously has alot more in it but Ant wanted to make sure everything bedded in properly before leaning on it. X-speed can be contacted for details about the leak down and compression test that was done before the modifications commenced but they all came back perfect.

Wheels:

18 x 10 Works Meister SP12 wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE-01's

Alarm:

Autowatch premium with microwave and smash sensors

Suspension:

Tein adjustable coil overs

Clutch:

HKS GD Max twin plate

Interior items:

Apexi Boost, Water and Oil Temp 60 mm gauges with Apexi Gauge controller

Pioneer stereo, controller unit and LCD display (LCD not currently fitted)

genuine GTR full mat set with metal logo

With today's exchange rate (and if you could find a series 3 in this kind of immaculate condition - I had to wait 5 months of daily searching auction sites) you would pay at least $40 k to get landed and complied (in stock condition) and then the parts would then cost another $20k

I am looking for $45,000. Many in WA have seen the car and know that it presents like a new car. Plates will be included if sold to someone in WA.

NB the three gauges are now mounted above the centre console in a Nismo 3 pod holder and I bought a new a-pillar shroud to replace the one where the old trust 2 pod holder was mounted.

Can be contacted on 0438 942 693 for any questions

Cheers Simon

New Intercooler hardpipe kit is also installed, cams dialed in, fresh oil and filter and ALL other fluids changed less than 3,000 kms ago

Putting down a very safe 436.9 rwhp at about 16psi now, see my 'replacement EVC, cams dialed in' thread for details and dyno sheets.

To put it simply, the car idle is lumpy as and response is through the roof and pulls hard. Torque is up too and it just rockets out of second gear corners!

This car really is the complete package, I have been looking in Japan at the moment and if you could find a GENUINE grade 4.5A (only not a 5 because over 50,000 kms) you would be lucky and it would cost you $40k plus to license and comply. THEN with the dollar against the yen as it is, you would spend another $25 on parts, plus install and tuning. All this has been done in the last 4 months with less than 3,000 kms travelled, you really are looking at $65 to $70k replacement on what is all brand new parts.

SOLD congratulations to Skyliner85 who picked up the absolute bargain of the century picking her up for 50% of replacement cost.

Enjoy and look after her mate!

To my fellow forum members, thanks for all the fun and assistance over the last 12 months, greatly appreciated

Simon

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
