Hey All

Unfortunaelty for me, due to recently purchsing a house, it has come time for me to give up my Skyline. I've owned this car for 2.5 years and i have to say it has been the most reliable car i have ever owned, i service the car every 5000k's religiously (Oil and filter) and maintain everything else as it should be: Timing belt, tensioner/idler, cam seals, crank seals, water pump @ 175,000, Gearbox oil every 15,000, diff oil done recently.

This car is daily driven and i do close on 1000k's per fortnight driving it, hence the body has some wear and tear: Door got opened on the front right quarter panel, slight dent. Rear right hand side, dent from inside of boot, right at the top of the rear pod, paint chipped off (bout 5c piece size). And only last week - rear left hand side bumper, looks like someone hit it reversing out of a park :D , slight dent to rear quarter, nice scrape mark (mostly polished out) and the rear bar is slightly cracked (bout 3cm long). Front bar, lower section where intercooler pipe goes, scrape marks from high parking cerb, slightly touched it. Paint on roof drivers side starting to fade in small sections, some clear coat peeling. I can provide anyone with photo's of these imperfections if they would like to see it.

Apart from that though the car feels in good mechanical condition, engine feels strong still, idles fine, pulls really well. The aim with the mods was to be a fast, responsive street car. Handles very well and the suspension is not uncomfortable for daily use, not to hard but not to soft.

Would suit someone into 'spirited drives' so to speak :) or someone looking for a drifter to add a few things to and go for broke on the track.

- 1993 Nissan R33 Skyline GTS25T

- Wine Red

- Usual nissan electrics, retracting mirrors/aerial are not working

- Stardard body kit all round (yes it still has the standard rear spoiler)

- 193,000k's

Modifications:

Engine:

- Power FC w/hand controller with Apex'i boost control kit

- Genuine Hybrid FMIC 600x300x100

- HKS Drag Air Filter

- Trust 3" Turbo back exhaust (nice and quiet, doesn't drone)

- Last dyno made 189RWKW on 12psi (0.85 bar)

Suspension:

- Front: Tanabe Sustec Shocks with RSR Springs. Rear: Nismo 4-way adjustable shocks with RSR springs

- Cusco Adjustable Castor rods

- Nismo front strut brace, cusco rear

Wheels/Driveline/Brakes:

- 17" Work S2R's, 9" rear with 255/50 and 8" front with 235/45 (rims have a few gouges)

- Nismo solid gearbox mount

- Front: DBA 4000 Series Slotted and Cross drilled rotors with Intima Street/Race pads, standard disc's rear with Lucas pads

- Extreme XHD Organic Plate Clucth (done prob 10,000k's)

Interior:

- Drivers side Recaro bucket seat (rips in the usual places)

- Pioneer CD/MP3 player with 6 stacker in boot

- Pioneer 6-inch splits front, VDO 3-ways at the rear (cranks plenty loud enough)

- Nismo Gear Knob

- New gear stick and handbrake gaitors

Car is booked in next week to get a brand new full set of tyres (Nankangs) so buyer will not have to worry about tyres for a while to come yet.

$11,000 but very willing to negotiate for a quick sale, no stupid offers and if i was looking for a trade of any sort it wold be a very late 90's or early 00's Pulsar, manual hatchback or a corolla of similar specs, but no silvia's, 180s (already got one) or other turbo cars. Basically anything Jap built that doesn't chew fuel, plus depending on age of car and condition, cash my way.

Feel free to contact me if your interested : Adam 0437 247 735

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
