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.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
