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.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
