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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
