Hey guys, time to sell the gtr. Were having a baby, due on tuesday and I really cant see me using this and doing the things I wanted to originally.

Background info: I bought the car bone stock standard off an older guy up north who used to import gtrs, he got out of the game a few years ago then his friend imported this gtr with the purpose to garage it being a prime mint condition gtr. He bought the car with the intention to do the same, registered it, drove it to work everyday then decided to sell it.

I had been looking for a base car to do a ground up overhaul of everything, looked for a long time then found this.

Since owning the car Ive put the current wheels on, tein suspension, hks full exhaust, hks filter and HKS kansai ECU. I took the car off the road when the rego ran out in feb this year, since then Ive been working on the whole underbody of the car. Its taken a while and been the grubbiest thing ive ever done but the results speak for themselves and it seem too good to drive on the road haha.

Most of the subframes have been sanded back and resprayed, other pieces have been replaced and the body has been recoated in road seal (not a fun job with limited room to move, very sticky)

The plan was to get a 350rwkw setup going, then just drive the car on the weekends. I would keep the car but we really need the money for more important things.

At present the mods are:

HKS Downpipe

HKS Hi-Power Exhaust

HI-FLO cat

HKS Mushroom filters

Tein Coilovers

HKS Kansai ECU

17" x 9.5 Custom wheels (Gloss black/matt black)

Sony Headunit, JBL front speakers, kenwood rears, 12" sub and amp Great sound.

The car is imaculate you can see in the pics the condition of the thing, ever gtr owner ive met have said its one of the tidiest if not tidest theyve seen. This is before all the work ive done. So in the last 6 months I made this already mint gtr, even minter. And you really need to see the car in person to appreciate it.

The car apparently had a rebuild at around 80,000kms in japan. Obviously this isnt proven and is a guide the car would have since done 50,000kms regardless.

Problems:

Needs new coilpacks

Engine could do with a service, I havnt got around to it with it being dereg, I dont do any mechanical work myself.

Needs new tyres all round, other than that the car is a beast and will pass a RWC with ease.

Ive got a few pics here but have alot more avail on demand. Im open to offers, its a great car and your welcome to come have a look. It will impress

Also included, all factory parts ive replaced, mirrors, suspension, fliter box and filter etc

Price: $17,000 Neg, 0406536292-shaun

Am advertising the car elsewhere, prefer it go to someone with a similar plan to mine.

Hey guys, time to sell the gtr. Weve just had a baby on saturday and I cant justify the money im about to spend on this car, theres more important things I could use the money for.

CURRENTLY REGISTERED UNTIL MARCH 2010 AND HAS CURRENT ROAD WORTHY CERT

Background info: I bought the car bone stock standard off an older guy up north who used to import gtrs, he got out of the game a few years ago then his friend imported this gtr with the purpose to garage it being a prime mint condition gtr.

Bridgstone potenza 255/40s all round 90% tread left, tyres cost $520 each $2080 worth of tyres alone they are the best ive ever driven on.

The car is imaculate you can see in the pics the condition of the thing, every gtr owner ive met have said its one of the tidiest if not tidest theyve seen. This is before all the work ive done. So in the last 6 months I made this already mint gtr, even minter. And you really need to see the car in person to appreciate it.

The car apparently had a rebuild at around 80,000kms in japan. Obviously this isnt proven and is a guide the car would have since done 50,000kms regardless.

Problems:

-Needs new coilpacks

-Alternator belt

-Engine could do with a service, I havnt got around to it with it being dereg for so long.

Ive got a few pics here but have alot more avail on demand. Im open to offers, its a great car and your welcome to come have a look. It will impress

So Just repeating for those unaware, I have just spent alot of money on new tyres, alloy radiator etc and have now got a Road worthy and 6 months brand new Rego!

Cars got to go, its just sitting there

Price is now $18000 Neg because of the $2000 Ive just spent on radiator tyres and rego. Bargain for someone here make an offer!!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
