Hey Guys,

I'm selling my IMMACULATE 1997 Silver R33 Series 3 Skyline for $26,500.

Car is 100% stock with only updated Tomei Intake pipes and pods.

Silver in colour and has only 40,000km on the clock.

I am interested in Swaps for any Turbo Diesel 4WD located in SYDNEY ONLY otherwise cash sale will also do.

If you're interested, please let me know.

I will do a straight swap for a Turbo Diesel 4WD with a boat and trailer if anyone is interested!

Pics will be available on request but a stock Series 3 GTR is a stock series 3 GTR!

Cheers guys

Yeah i'd like some photo's if possible!! How long have you owned it for? any finance owned? what area in sydney? Rust? Factory Hid's? import papers? what needs to be done to the car? (clutch, service, tyres, cv's) does the car leak?

Thanks,

James.

Hey Guys,

Please find the pics below.

I've had the car for a bit over a year now, but l've just secured a job up in Mount Isa (mining town in QLD) and a skyline would not be a good choice up here.

The car was paid with cash and l will provide all vehicle details for a REVS check to interested buyers.

The car is located in Bankstown, Sydney with no evidence of rust at all. The car has always been garaged and YES, it has the factory series 3 HID Headlights.

I do not have the import papers as l did not import the car myself.

The car is regularly serviced (every 3-4k or once a year), the tyres are around 80% all around, CV's are fine, not a drop of oil on the ground. The clutch has approx 40% left and is a heavy twin plate clutch as far as i know.

I've attached pics below, but l am currently up in QLD (3000km away from Sydney) without my car, but l can organise inspections if the right buyer comes by.

Cheers

I am genuinely interested and would like you to provide some clarification on the year and a few more details please.

In the photos, the colour of the car doesn't appear to be series 3 silver, but the series 1 silver, and the front lip is also a series 1 item, not the later series 3 lower type, so the car appears to be a series 1 with the late model headlights fitted.

Please post the VIN so I can run it through FAST and confirm - Pm me if you like.

Thanks.

Right hand rear tailight has foglight instead of reverse light.

I'd say that it's a series 3 with the front lip replaced.

Also in his avatar it's states that it's a 97 model.

Interesting about the colour, its definetly paint code KL0, as released in the series one.

Not sure if they continued using this colour for the series 3, KR4 was more popular.

Vin number will definetly confirm.

Bump, nice car...

Hi,

What clarification do you need for the year? As in how do you want me to confirm the details? I'm not 100% sure about the color as well, I've seen a few R33 GTR with a similar colour, maybe my camera is just bad with the colour?

However yes, the lip is a series one lip, it was there when l bought the vehicle.

It is a series 3 vehicle with the red stitching which runs throughout the vehicles interior.

I do not have the VIN details on me as im in QLD, the vehicle is in SYDNEY. If you're interested, let me know so that l can organise for an inspection to be made so you can record the details yourself.

Cheers

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
