The time has come to move on from my beautiful N/A JZA80. As much as I'd love to keep it and drop a 2JZ-GTE in, it's just not financially viable for me at this point in time, so I'm selling up to buy a R32 GTR.

So, as you probably gathered from the title, it's a 1997 JZA80 SZ-R in the sought after Royal Sapphire Pearl. It's got the 6 Speed Getrag box, big brakes and the 17" wheels.

There's a Mongoose M60 immobiliser/alarm keeping it in my driveway.

This car has been nothing but fantastic from the get go for me. I purchased it from Top Secret Imports in Blacktown in August 2008. It currently has 115,000km on it, and was purchased with 86,000km. The majority of these kms are highway kms from travelling the M4/M7/M5 each day in my previous job.

The major service was carried out at 95,000km with no expense spared.

Currently the tyres all round are at 40%, so there's still a decent amount of life left in them.

Up front, there's a Whiteline strut brace strengthening the chassis, and underneath I've installed a 2.5" Cat-back exhaust to a XForce Varex cannon muffler. The exhaust work was done by the experienced boys at Castle Hill Exhaust.

The interior is almost flawless. The only thing showing signs of wear is the floor mats.

Providing the audio inside the cabin is a Pioneer BT/iPod/MP3 head-unit (included is the iPod adaptor).

The clock has kicked the bucket though, and currently sits at 2:30. This is a simple fix by replacing the clock. I've not bother with it, because the head unit still shows the time.

The only other electrical fault seems to be that of the immobiliser. Forum member deejay has had the same issue where by the remote central locking will lock the doors, but will not unlock them. Again, I haven't chased this up as it hasn't really bothered me too much - I've just been using the key to unlock the door.

When it comes to the body though, there are a few imperfections. There's a small dent and scrape on the drivers door where an Asian Yaris driver opened his door onto mine. It wouldn't be hard to pull the dent out, but the scrape will need some touch up paint (supplied with vehicle).

The front guard has a small nick on it too (again, carpark hit). This one isn't as bad by any stretch of the imagination, and wouldn't be hard to touch up either.

There's a very light key scratch along the O/S/R Qtr. There's a light scratch from what looks like a tree branch on the bonnet (a buff should get it out). Paint is peeling just below the boot brake light, too.

I manage a panel shop, and can fix this all up for you for $1200 if it bothers you, but they're all pretty un-noticeable.

NSW Rego until March. If not sold by then, will renew rego for 6 months. Plates will be supplied with car.

I'm chasing $18,500. If someone offers me this much, I'll sell it on the spot, but I'm not in any hurry to sell. I feel I've priced it accordingly due to the imperfections.

Feel free to low-ball me, but I suggest not if you're easily offended. You're likely to get a response containing various words like "cock", "shit", "balls" and "Miley Cyrus".

It's really a beautiful car, and I'll be sad to see it go, but boost is just WAY too tempting!
