Item Description: Pearl White 1998 R34 Skyline 25GT-T Sedan

Location: Croydon, VIC.

Kilometers: ~148,000

Item Condition: Excellent

Reason for selling: Importing another daily driver, don't need 3 cars.

Price and price conditions: $15,500 neg. with RWC and Rego. Number plates 'GTT4DR' (GTT Four Door) included in sale price. All inspections will be welcomed. Please bare in mind this car will not be for sale for approx. 2-3 months.

Extra Info:

As you may have seen I'm currently importing a new daily from Japan. As such, my beautiful daily of the past 2.5 years will be for sale in about 2-3 months time. I am the first owner in Australia and I have treated the car very respectfully. Services have been carried out around the 5,000km mark, far earlier than the recommended service interval of 10,000km's. I'm quite pedantic. Currently sitting on ~148,000km's but don't let this deter you. These are genuine km's, not 'wound-back-in-Japan-before-hitting-Australia' km's. The engine runs like a dream, idles beautifully, doesn't use any fluids, etc. Diff is wonderfully quiet, transmission works well. No accident history, beautifully straight car.

Some facts about this car:

2.5L Inline 6cyl Turbo (RB25DET Neo) - Engine is stock. Plenty of power but potential for plenty more if desired.

Automatic with steering wheel and tiptronic shift

Very rare factory Pearl White. This is not common. Most white R34's are not pearl. This is a limited edition colour. Paint is shiny and in excellent condition.

Rare factory Nismo Lip Kit (it's plastic, not fiberglass)

Nismo Clear front and side indicators

Electronic Folding Mirrors

Factory HID headlights

Driving Lights

De-winged

Privacy Glass

Excellent condition interior

Traction Control

ABS

4 Wheel Steering (damn easy to park)

Old-school turbo timer (as old as the car hehe)

Factory dash gauge-pod

Digital Climate Control

Factory weather-shields

Factory floormats

Fujitsubo stainless steel turbo-back exhaust

Nismo lowered springs

Stock Wheels in good condition

Carbon fiber-look pillar trims

JVC CD/MP3 headunit. The cool thing about the R34 - no external aerial, it's built into the rear windscreen :P

Fire Extinguisher

Massive boot

Timing belt was changed at 98,000km's. Due again at roughly 200,000km's.

Items replaced in my ownership aside from service items:

*Brand new genuine rear hub assembly

*Brand new genuine A & B shift solenoids

*Brand new Iridium Spark Plugs

Any negatives? Not many. Just cosmetic.

One crack at the of each side-skirt. The de-wing job in Japan wasn't that great. Small rust bubbles on bootlid and indentations where the wing sat. Either fix and respray or replace the bootlid - both options around the $300 mark. I never got around to bothering to fix them as they didn't annoy me that much. Has none of the common rust that the majority of R34's suffer on the rear end.

Thanks for that. Indeed, not many stock examples around these days. It'll be a little sad to put her up for a sale in a few months as she's been the most reliable car I've ever owned, but time to move on.

No worries. My Cubic hasn't left Japan yet so realistically this car will be available for sale in ~2 months time. In the meantime it'll get another service >_<

I'll also endeavour to get some better photos of the whole car (inside and out) closer to the time I'm ready to sell.

Your car is 100% sex on wheels! It's gorgeous!

You guys are right don't find to many Skylines let alone R34's that haven't been molested by a P plater (I'm allowed to say that cos I am a P Plater). It's a shame really because they seem reliable cars.

My boyfriend was looking at Skylines before he got his (Mitsubishi) FTO and they were all screwed.....and I discounted Skylines when I was first looking for a car to replace my BMW, cos there is very few that aren't screwed....same with FTO's unless you get a good example you're asking for trouble.

What's with the Nissan Cube though??? They're little boxes

  • 2 weeks later...

The Cube's landed in Sydney, I'd be hoping it's complianced and on the road end of this month/start of next month. I'll be putting the car in for another service just before I put the car up for sale. So early October should work for me :action-smiley-069:

  • 4 weeks later...

Getting a bit closer to being ready for sale now as my other car is nearly here.

Service booked in for next week, I'll probably spend all of next weekend thoroughly cleaning her and I'll get some new photos and a new thread up once she's ready.

You've still got another couple of weeks before I start aggressively advertising it (Carsales.) My Cube should be registered next week, I'll give it another week and at that point if there's minimal interest on forums I'll put it up on Carsales. You'd be welcome to inspect and test drive it next week.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
