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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
