As much as it pains me to do this, i am looking for EOI in my GTR. I am looking at purchasing an R35 and finances wont allow both vehicles to remain in the family. I will be as detailed as i can with the history and description.

Brief history - I purchased this vehicle from International Motor Group in NSW. I am the second owner after the vehicle was imported in a grade 4.5 condition. The car had a full detailed inspection ($250 dollars worth) by main roads and came up absolutely flawless except for the rotors needing replacement in the near future which has been taken care of since. The car arrived with a stainless exhaust, carbon pillar garnishes and eyelids, all other modifications have been performed by myself.

Modifications - I modified the car tastefully so as to keep the vehicle looking and performing excellent and reliably. The work and servicing has been performed by GT Auto Garage in Brisbane which are a very reputable centre up here. The vehicle has travelled a genuine 100000km, although because im anal with the car i had the 100k service done at around 80k and then regular services completled from that point on. All servicing completed with HKS oils / filters by GT Auto Garage.

Garret 2870-7 (R34 GTR N1) - Travelled approx 30000km

Metalcat Highflow cat

Stainless exhaust - Apexi i believe

Walbro fuel pump -

Sard 700cc injectors -

Stainless water / oil lines

New power steering pump

Highflow panel filter in standard box

Top of the line NGK Plugs

HKS F-Con V Pro Gold

HKS EVC 5 Boost control

Dry cell battery

GT Auto performance clutch / flywheel - Travelled approx 5000km

Khumo KU-36 tyres - travelled approx 6000km

DBA Gold series slotted / drilled rotors on front - 5000km

Project Mu slotted rotors on rear - 5000km

Project Mu pads front / rear - 2000km

Full stainless brake lines

Wheel alignment and some bushes replaced when brake work was done, will have to check receipt for details

Nismo carbon fibre pillar garnishes

Ztune side skirts and rear canards

Alpine fold out touch screen MP3 / WMA / DVD Player

Alpine type x splits in front

Alpine type r splits in rear

Alpine T420 amp

Car also has a full Quiktrak alarm with satellite tracking. I hope i havent missed out any details but if i have i will post the edit in the thread.

For those not aware the differences between the V-Spec II and previous models here is an overview. The car also has factory HID headlights.

'In August 2000, Nissan released the V-Spec II, replacing the V-Spec. The V-Spec II has increased stiffness in the suspension (even stiffer than the original V-spec) and had larger rear brake rotors. It also comes equipped with a carbon fiber hood equipped with a NACA duct, which is lighter than the aluminum that all other GT-R hoods are made from. Also different on the V-Spec II was an iridium center console and aluminum pedals. The seats were upholstered with black cloth rather than the gray cloth used on previous R34 GT-R models, and the amber turn lenses were replaced with white versions.'

I will take more photos when i have some time tomorrow, i apologise about the average quality of the more recent ones i am about to post. The high quality ones are from a photo shoot last year prior to the bodykit modifications. Please note none of the photos currently posted show the brake upgrades.

Asking price is $60000. I am open to offers, no swaps.

Will have car detailed this weekend and upload new photos. After doing some research would be willing to accept offers around $55000. I also forgot to add all seals / gaskets were replaced on the inlet and turbo / exhaust side when work was done. I am happy to get compression tests done for a prospective buyer, all inspections are welcome.

I will have to find the dyno sheet but from memory car was last tuned to just shy of 300awkw with room for more, running a safe tune around 1.3 bar.

Edit - Forgot to mention it also has new tint all round.

Ok so this is no longer an EOI. I have found a new vehicle and would like to move this one on soon. I will have the vehicle fully serviced and detailed prior to the new owner taking delivery. The entire interior is getting professionally shampood / cleaned this week also. I have spare parts i am willing to sell with the car, some of which are a HKS Powerflow intake kit and an almost complete RB26 Gasket kit minus the couple i used when i did the freshen up.

Selling for $55000. You will struggle to find a V-Spec II in this kind of condition, never tracked, raced or had any mechanical issues whatsoever in the entire time i've owned it. GT Auto Garage can vouch for the quality and condition of the car.

Having just imported a modded R34 GTR V-Spec from Japan, you can not get one in this quality / Mods/ Colour and V-Spec II from Japan either for under 55K currently, not to mension the hassle of going though months of waiting and looking for a compliance place that can make it Stock and put the mods back again ... in the rare occasion you do find one.

Probably the best deal on a local R34 GTR currently as it a V-Spec II model with the updated interior, which is very rare as most local ones are 99 model GTR's (Silver and white)

i hope you have put this up in Carsales and it should sell preety quickly if this is advertised properly

Free bump

Thanks mate, your opinion is appreciated! The process is a painful one and always seems to work out a little more expensive then you'd hope. I haven't advertised on carsales yet as i've only just gotten some good photos taken over the weekend. Tonight i shall work on putting a listing up. It is great value, and it is very hard to find one that has been looked after. I'm certain the first serious person to come and have a look will take it off my hands!

Will be uploading brake and interior shots shortly.

Some high quality pics i took yesterday. Just came back from the detailers and will be garaged for the next while.

I've had a few people query about the kms.. don't let this put you off guys. This vehicle is in far superior mechanical / physical condition to a good majority of others for sale with 50000 'genuine' kms. If you talk to a tuner they'll tell you if these motors are looked after they will serve you well for a very long time. This car has never seen a track, has a rev-limiter in place and has never seen more boost then deemed safe and reliable by the tuner.

Price is $55000

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
