I do believe that car is Victorian if im not mistaken, sounds very similar.

I remember the same coloured GTR, older fella - drove past our Show'n'Shine a few years ago and had a bit of a chat :P

pretty sure it's a sydney car. was sold in parramatta sydney, still with it's original owner, and now for sale again in sydney. would be a good buy in the $30K range somewhere but will most likely go higher. very nice to see with original books etc.

Looks like the burgundy one was sold at Shannons auctions last night for $53,000.

Hi Guys,

I'll post a formal intro as soon as I can but I was the successful bidder on this car last night.

Pick her up tomorrow. >_<:laugh::(:banana:

Cheers,

Bob.

Mate, check the vin of the car and shoot me a pm with the last 5 digits, I will be able to tell you whether it was a first or second release and what build number (out of 100) it is.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your kind words.

The bidding started at $40K with about 6 players........ By the time it got to $48K 3 had dropped out. At $50K it was between me and a phone bidder (interstate I think). At $52K he went up to $52,500. I bid $53K and he said no.

This is what I loved about the car.......... Every pink slip (Roadworthy) since 1995 with the original purchase documentation. Press kit and letter of congratulations from Nissan Australia.

Bob.

Looks like a really nice car Bob.

I was wanting to go to the auction just to see it but then realised on Tuesday I had missed it.

Anyway well done!

Ken I too will flick you a PM with the VIN if you could let us know the build number that would be great!

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
