Here it is again with more information (again). I can't remember everything but the main points are listed below.

Before you read any further, I am looking 95K.

It's a killer beast and I totally love it but I use it more for charging my kids RC batteries than I drive it these days.

The new rules in the bitumen rallies allowing Z-Tunes means this car now qualifies if you wanted to cage it up.

So, here we go...

1999 model VSpec with around 40,000 genuine ks on it.

Engine has less than 3000 ks on it. Most just driving around town. It was built this year (last year now) with the following parts:

New N1 block

HKS 2.8L Kit Step 2 Rated 588kW(800ps) includes the following

Forged piston kit (nickel plated & piston surface has a final molybdenum coating).

- Fully forged & balanced counter crankshaft.

-H cross section connecting rods.

PISTONS

Piston material is specially forged to HKS specifications. This ensures high strength, durability, reliability, and produced to high dimensional accuracy. As a result, this forged piston enjoys tremendous weight savings, and a well balanced part.

The piston crown has a balanced & symetrical concave section design which ensures higher engine response. Any larger concave section will result in a drop in compression ratio, and will affect engine response.

To reduce abrasion resistance, and to improve performance, the top piston ring is titanium coated.

In order to acheive an overall low piston height, piston design with two thin piston oil rings is adopted by HKS. This ensures minimum friction, and a low tension type piston.

CONNECTING ROD

With the use of high pressure forging for the material, the part does not requires much secondary operations except for the mating bearing surfaces.

High tensile bolts are used to prevent cap opening during high inertial forces generated at high RPM loads.

CRANKSHAFT

The strength of the crankshaft is ensured when the metal fiber flow is not affected during the forging process.

It is a full counter form, balanced to high tolerances where smooth revolutions are ensured. This results in loads being evenly distributed onto the metal surface, and reduces frictional loads.

It is extremely light and strong compared to the factory item, and other aftermarket performance crankshaft available in the market

The rigidity of the pin side is improved with the addition of a rib to the connecting rod pin.

The crankshaft manufacturing process is completed with a special hardening process according to HKS specifications to ensure increased reliability at high RPM loads, and reduce fatigue.

Tomei Oil Pump

Big 9 litre sump

N1 water pump

head work done by Ben at Racepace to his latest spec. This is crucial to the low end response. It feels like a V8 at low revs.

2860 turbos

Suspension fully modified to give a nice ride around town without harshness and to also outperform most other cars at the track and through the hills.

Includes:

revalved Tein RA shocks

custom upper control arms delivered mega caster

and lots more

Diff has been replaced with a shimmed up mechanical

Brakes are HARROP with braided lines

front 381mm rotors with 6 piston callipers

rear 343mm rotors with 4 piston callipers

Bonnet is genuine Topsecret single skin carbon

Front bar is genuine Nismo

Side skirts are Doluck

Large trust radiator. Oil cooler...

Has the Nismo multifunction display with 2 bar map and G-Meter page etc

Nismo 320km dash with 7,000 ks on it. Comes with original dash with 33,000 ks on it.

Exhaust is completely hand made 3.5 inch. Even has a working cat converter in it to keep the EPA off your back. Super quiet. In fact, while driving down the freeway, I can hear the climate control servo making minor adjustments occasionally. Every other big power GTR I have seen is loud and attracked the wrong kind of attention.

Rims are 18 x 10.5 + 12 TE37s in black. Comes with 2 sets of tyres.

The list goes on.... It cost me a fortune to get set up this way so it will kill at the track and be a really nice standard feeling car on the street.

Looking under the bonnet the only clue it isn't stock is the combination catch can / washer bottle and the silicone intercooler pipes.

It still runs the standard intercooler, airbox and plenum.

Interior is tip top. Only the odd small scuff by a careless japanese guy around the ashtray.

Currently it is producing around 390 rear wheel KW on normal pump fuel and is tuned safely so it can be driven to the track, take the win and drive home without breaking a sweat.

The power delivery is amazing, it is strong from idle due to the capacity and top secret work on the head. It pulls hard from nowhere and hits around 300 rwkw at 4000 rpm. Most cars are only coming on boost then.

This is very difficult to achieve with a working catalytic converter. Remove the cat, retune and the power will jump over 400 rwkw instantly.

If you have the money, or know someone who can afford it, pass on the info and feel free to PM me for more specific info.

I don't need to sell the car, but having it sit around doing nothing is a bit of a waste.

Will let you know on Wednesday after the $7mill oz lotto draw

How did the RE55 TT go? Have you used them yet?

[Aaron34]

still got the TTs in the garage taking up space...

heres the Mag article

[Aaron34]

happy to discuss possible trades.

FYI, almost everything on this car is new. It has had mega bucks spent on it and then it was put in the garage. It isn't a worn out legend, its basically a brand new car in every way except the car itself was built in 1999.

Price dropped. Check out link to carsales advertisement.

The motor is barely run in and cost nearly 30K... then there is the rest of the car $$$$. I also have the standard stuff with the exception of the brakes and shocks...
