Hi guys,

Looking at swapping my 5.0L VT Calais.

-160,000kms

-White

-Tan interior

-Lowered on new KYB shocks and lowered springs

-Nolathane bushes

-Pacemaker extractors & full system

-20% tint (Very dark)

-LPG fitted about 6 months ago (with larger than standard converter = more performance and still under warranty)

-Extended platinum warranty (approx $1400 worth - 4.5 years remaining!!)

-Huge service just performed including: New water pump, every radiator / heater hose, heater tap, thermostat, thermostat housing, all fan / alt / AC belts, coolant, Oil, oil filter, air filter, leads, dissy cap, rotor button, platinum plugs etc etc etc. (Big dollars)

The car is pretty well immaculate, will not find a cleaner VT Calais 5.0L out there. - I know, as I looked around for months before i bought this one.

Dont be put off by it been V8 either - It cost approx $40 to fill (70L useable litres @ approx 55-58c P/L). It gets about 350kms round town, and about 450-480kms on the highway.

I dont have any pics at the moment, just google a white VT Calais, add dark tint and lower it. thats how it looks lol.

Looking for a fairly stock turbo manual skyline. (exhaust, front mount etc etc ok, but not interested in something that will never get off defect if it gets done)

Or a nice Stagea.

Hi, sorry I cant PM.

How much cash do you feel your car is worth?

I have a 1995 R33 manual with 126K on the clock.

mods include: FMIC, stainless steel turbo back exhaust, adjustable swaybars/caster, leather look interior, 17inch rays nismo LMGT1 wheels.

I may consider a trade with cash my way.

Cheers

HI,

sorry for the lack of contact.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
