Hey guys

I bought my GTR last year in february as a stock standard 1999 V-Spec GTR.

After a few weeks I took it to Japanese Motorsport to get upgrades done.

These upgrades include the following (all brand new!)

post-50722-1245129022_thumb.jpg

2x HKS 2530

2x HKS heavy duty actuators

2x HKS stainless steel dump pipes

Kakimoto front pipe

TRUST PEII Drag Exhaust System + titanium tip

Apexi ECV ( quitens the exhaust noise via cockpit)

HKS Type R Intercooler

HKS Racing Chamber (hard pipe kit)

Nismo Fuel Pump (rated 4.6L/min)

Nismo 600cc injectors

Apexi D-Jetro PowerFC + Apexi boost control kit + hand controller

(stock air flow meters still in place, despite using the D-Jetro MAP sensors)

Tomei Type B Poncams 260IN/260EX, 9.15mm lift (delivers more power at high RPM)

HKS Cam Gears

HKS Timing Belt

Nismo water pump

Nismo oil sump baffle

Nismo twin plate Super Copper Mix Clutch kit

Nismo oil catch can (with return line that drains into the sump)

All gaskets were replaced with new ones and the rocker cover was painted in shadow chrome

It was tuned by Martin Donnon and made 328kw at the rear wheels (1.4bar boost) on his Mainline Dyno.

On the road the car is a weapon with instant response and spine tingling acceleration that pulls all the way to the redline!

I also had Tein Super Street coilovers fitted (height + dampner adjustable)

I bought the EDFC to control the dampning from the cockpit but this is still to be fitted

Cusco Rear camber arms have also been fitted to square up the rear.

Wheel wise I went for a set of 19 x 10.5 Bronze TE37s with the +12 offset which sit tuff as on the GTR!

Tyres are Toyo Proxe 4: 265/30/19 and are as new since the car is only driven about once a month:(

I'm yet still to fit the Nismo side skirts and rear pods aswell as a set of rare Nismo guard flares (4 flares)

aswell as a set of Nismo clear front bar indicators

Once the car was finished at Japanese Motorsport it was taken to George and Theo at GT Autosound

for the alarm and sound system. This includes:

MB Quartz splits

MB Quartz amp

Basstube 12" subwoofer

Pioneer DVD player (plays DVDs through standard in dash monitor)

Dynamat was used in both doors to improve sound quality!

The car also comes with a 320kph Black Face dash cluster with odometer reading 40,471kms

The alarm I chose was the GM500 which SMS's you everytime your

alarm is triggered you can also go online and track the whereabouts of your car!

Finally I fitted a Red Carbon Fibre Bride Low Max Gias seat that not only

feels great but looks perfect against the bayside blue paint of the car!

My GTR has been meticulously looked after and parked in a 24hr security monitored

carpark. The car is rarely driven, on average its probably taken out once a

month (never to circuit or drag strip either) and only been washed 4 times in the last year and a bit!

In total the car owes me close to $100,000 (I have receipts) but I'm willing to let it go for $77,000

I will negotiate with those who want to buy it without the sound system. and sorry! no trades.

I'm also selling my 200sx that I just finished building please check other posts for that:)

If you have any questions you can contact me (Vinh) on 0434 100 131

or eski51 [at] internode.on.net

Location is Adelaide City.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
