Well maintained silver 1998 R34 GT25 semi-automatic 2 door coupe up for grabs!

Purchased stock standard in November 2007 from Nagoya Motors in Caringbah, I am the first registered owner of this car in Australia. I purchased it with 64,xxxkm’s and is currently sitting on 93,xxxkm’s on the odometer.

The car has been well looked after and I have spent every dollar required to maintain drive and feel quality. All modifications I have installed makes the car perfect for every P-plater to have some fun on the road!

As I have undertaken full-time work and part time university during my ownership period, I have only had time to drive the car on weekends and very rarely on weekdays. Reason for selling it is I have just passed my DQT and have a full licence so I think it’s time for me to start playing with some boost.

I have always washed and protected the exterior with Meguiars Car Care products and will include everything I have left (most used) for the buyer. This includes Meguiars Polish, Paint Cleaner, Carnauba Wax, Interior Trim Foam, Ultimate Detailer and NxtGeneration Car Wash (the purple one). Car has been washed and vacuumed every two weeks.

Interior: As you will see in the pictures, this version of the R34 comes with the XANAVI pop-up screen in the dashboard which plays CD’s. You can also play DVD’s and connect your iPod to the system but I have only been ‘lucky’ to get these to work a few times (because I can’t interpret the Japanese on the console I just play around with it until it works). As well as this, the entertainment system comes with a 6-cd stacker in the boot which can be played via the deck in the console, also an original stock Nissan item with this version of the car.

Exterior: Have fitted 350z series one rims on the car. Fronts have 235/40’s with 90% tread and rears have 225/40’s with 60% tread. I have always been a fan of this look – inspired by DAN666! As a result of the extra space inside the rim on the fronts, I decided to install the turbo brakes and have had them painted red courtesy of msnismo (Anna) and they were fitted by Dave together with braided brake lines 7000km’s ago. I have since installed new brake pads so there is plenty of meat left on them. Car has been fitted with an aftermarket Xenon light system (8000k). The actual headlights themselves are original Nissan Xenon. Have a carbon fibre coated rocker cover under the hood. This has been professionally done for $150. All else is stock standard.

Performance: I have installed a custom 2.5” mild steel catback exhaust with 3” cannon and has been on the car for approx. 20,000kms. The car is fitted with a K&N high flow panel filter approx 15,000kms old. I have just recently replaced the stock castor bushes which began to crack with urethane bushes which will last you the rest of time.

Security: Have only recently (6 weeks ago) installed an alarm and immobilizer on the vehicle. The alarm sensors are more sensitive than what you would ordinarily deem to be reasonable but I am really fussy about people touching the car!

Car has been serviced by Bel Garage and Dahtone Racing in the time that I have owned it. The engine has been serviced with Royal Purple (one service) and Motul Oils using genuine Nissan oil filters. In addition to the abovementioned detailing products, I will throw in a 100,000kms major service kit for the car ordered through a local mechanic (usually comes in overnight) and 5L Castrol Transmax Z fully synthetic transmission oil.

The car has taken part is various events held by SAU and other car club forums. Car was pictured on a double page story in High Performance Imports (No. 113) which covered the fairly recent R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary cruise. Don’t know why this was in there when all the GT-R’s were grinning like Cheshire cats but hey, it gave me bragging rights so I am sweet as with it!

No major accident history. On the front passenger side quarter panel there is small damage as a result of my home’s ducted vacuum cleaner collapsing from its brackets in the garage! I have taken this into consideration in my pricing. Also, as you will see in the front-on shot, there is a blemish on the front bar – not sure how it happened but bought the car from Nagoya with it.

I am currently after $14,500neg for the car. Taking in to consideration the extras, and the current market, I strongly believe this is good value for money. Registration expires November 2010 and is under warranty until 24 November 2010 (purchased from Nagoya also).

Located in Sydney. Please PM me should you have any queries or would like to go for a test drive (no time wasters please)!

Cheers

Shanil

good luck on the sale mate!

this is one very clean r34 :) put yours up on carsales if you haven't already, i put mine up yesterday

...hope it doesnt sell before the 7th though!!! hahah :ermm:

Best not to be fooled by the Avatar - into thinking that some S.O.B. treats this car badly.

Quite the opposite!

Two things...

1) such a lovely well-kept car

2) owner has always doted on it

Plus... the warranty (still active) is to be honoured by a company that prides itself on its reputation.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
