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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
