I have owned this car for 6 years .

For two of those years, I was out of the country, and for the other 4 years I pretty much drove it. It's never seen a quarter mile or a track.

If your after a show car conditioned GTR then this is not the car for you. It has 117k on the clock.

I had the motor rebuilt by Advan a year after I bought it and reconditioned the head , and that was done at 65k. Has roughly 320+KW at the wheels, I can't remember exactly cause it was that long ago since I did the tune and dont have the sheet anymore( will continue to look for it though). The body isn't great, has paint fade on the roof and in spots, bottom lip on front spoiler is cracked, and some hail dings.

Interior is in good condition.

Mechanically though, there is nothing to spend. I have just installed

-Brand new HD Exceedy clutch

-Brand new RDA brakes and rotors front and back.

- New Nankang 18's ( I know what your thinking ' Nankangs WTF' but my wife drives it to work now, so there is no high performance needed for that.

Had the engine pulled down and checked over while clutch was out and installed new big and small end bearings and metal gaskets.

The motor was said to still be nice and tidy when pulled down.

List of modifications include -

-Arias Pistons

-Trust Metal Gasket

-Sard 770cc injectors

-Trust Fuel Rail

-G Reddy Oil Cooler/ Relocator kit

-Trust Front mount intercooler

-Twin Apexi Air Filters

-Power Enterprise Response Series Turbos and dumps.

-Upgraded intank fuel pump ( cant remember which one )

-Alloy Radiator

- 3.5'inch Jap Aftermarket exhaust

- 18' driftek rims.

-Blitz electronic boost controller

- turbo timer

Anyway, I have owned and enjoyed it for long enough. I'm after $17500 not negotiable. If it doesn't sell at that then I get to keep it and continue to keep driving it I guess. If your after a showcar, like I said, this isn't the car for you, but if your after a reliable reasonably powered GTR with a bit of character, then might be worth a look.

PS. I drive it to sydney most weekends for training I do down there, if that makes it easier for a look.

Cheers.

Will post more pics up tomorrow, this is the only one on my comp right now.

wow....exceptional price...for once a seller who isn't daydreaming that their car is worth what it was 10 years ago. this looks to be a great buy - I know I'd rather roll the dice on bodywork than on mechanicals.....

if only you'd take an R32 GTR as a trade in (mine is similar to yours - needs some TLC) - otherwise good luck with the sale - should go quickly

Cheers.

Not after a trade but thanks. I think it's different when you own the car for so long and have driven it, I personally feel like I have enjoyed it and gotten my value for money out of the car over the years. If I had only owned it 12 months or so, then I guess I would have a hard time excepting to let it go at that price. If I don't sell it, then I will get more driving pleasure out of it. Well my wife will. I am stuck with the Subaru Wagon and a babyseat cause I am the stay home dad now and she drives it to work.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
