This is an EOI for the moment, found another car, so if it sells before this does, I'll keep this.

I bought this from rolls around 1 1/2 years ago, and since have put about 15,000km's on it.

Current mods;

Engine/Drivetrain

- RB25 turbo

- FMIC

- Apexi pod

- Split dump into 2.5" straight through exhaust, 1 cannon on rear (sounds good, people will attest to this)

- Rebuilt LSD with 3.9:1 ratio, oil changed 10,000km ago with synthetic Motul (really tight, will lock up around slow corners on cold mornings)

- New Nissan aus-spec rad around a year ago, along with thermostat, clamps, new coolant (Toyota) and genuine cap

- New clutch master and slave around 2 months ago, new solid line from master, and new rubber line to slave (basically new clutch hydraulic system)

- Jim Berry H/D clutch, feels almost factory, really nice clutch

- Catch can mounted in wheel arch

- Splitfire coilpacks, new NGK plugs 5,000km ago

- Battery relocated to boot

- New fuel filter 5,000km ago

- All new drive belts 12 months ago

- Reconditioned RB30 alternator fitted (probably around 20,000km since rebuild)

- Turbotech MBC (set to 12psi, holds it perfectly to redline, sheet below)

Running Gear

- Front Bilsteins and Espelir springs, really firm

- Front genuine GTS-R strut brace

- Rear KYB Gas-A-Justs with Espelir springs

- Front R33 GTS-t front calipers with R32 GT-R slotted rotors, braided brake lines (approx. 4mm left on pads)

- New genuine lower control arms and link pins with link bushes

- 3rds adjustable rose jointed caster rods

- Whiteline adjustable front 27mm swaybar with new D bushes

- Rear pads replaced when I bought the car Bendix GCT (approx. 6-7mm left)

- Front Z31 5 stud hubs

- New wheel bearings fitted with hubs around 9 months ago

Wheels & Tyres

- 17x8 +5 and 17x9 +11 Work meshies

- Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001 tyres on front, around 4-5mm tread left

- Roadstone tyres on rear, around 5mm left

Interior & Exterior

- GTS-R front bucket seats

- Tomei 240km/h dash

- Momo steering wheel

- Genuine original HR31 flootmats

- ADThree mudflaps

- GTS-R spoiler

- GTS-R style bar (vents both sides)

- Pioneer stereo, front splits and tweeters, rear has speakers fitted but pretty sure they don't work

I'm bound to have missed shit, refer here for build thread whilst in my ownership: http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=136322.0

This car isn't perfect. It has flaws, I'll try to name as much as I can here;

- A/C compressor leaks, I've lived with it, I was going to pull it all out, up to you

- Rear bushes make funky noises, probably something to do soon, would remove HICAS at the same time

- Front wheels could do with re-rolling, gives a mild shake at around 80 - 100km, again, I've just dealt with it. There's also a bit of clear coat peel on the centres, hasn't bothered me

- Both rear inner CV boots are split

- Extension housing seal on the gearbox is weeping (have a couple of new seals here, Repco was unsure which it was so I bought both)

- Rocker covers have a very minor weep

- Power steering rack is leaking and both rack boots are split (have new rack boots, will need a new rack eventually though or a rebuild)

- Biggest one, paint, really not too good on the bonnet, boot and tops of the 1/4 panels. I've had a look in the front 1/4's and haven't seen a lot of rust, although there is a little bit developing near the spoiler

- Brake fluid needs a change

- Cigarette burn in drivers seat, I never notice it because I have a seat cover on it since I bought it

I'm as honest as I can be when it comes to selling cars, I've been f**ked over and I hate it, so I will answer any question you can throw at me the best I can.

People know how I look after this thing, serviced every 3 months regardless of km (usually 2,500 or so) using genuine filter and Elf synthetic oil. I've done all of my own work on this since I've owned it, and spent probably near on 4k since owning it, and I purchased it originally for 9k. Seriously the most reliable car I've ever owned, never missed a beat, runs really smooth, albeit a little rich. Ideally I'd go a Nistune and probably get some more power out of it.

There's probably other things which have been done that I've failed to mention, it should all come to me eventually.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
