Well, after much deliberation and angst, I've decided it's time to sell "my baby".

FOR SALE – R34 GTR V-SPEC

I’ve looked everywhere earlier but I seem to have misplaced my comprehensive I had for the GTR, but here goes off the top of my head 

• The car is what I would describe as the perfect level for a street GTR. It is not so modified to sacrifice driveability, even as an “every day” driver. I’ve owned a few GTR’s and know my way around them, and am part of the “High Octane R34 GTR” team of Mark Berry and Russell Newman, and they’re in agreement that this is easily one of the “tidiest” GTRs we’ve seen. In fact, when the guys ran their eyes over it, they were astounded with how “nice” it is. The body and interior, in fact the entire car, are in really amazing condition.

• The car was originally imported in (from memory) 2007 under the latest RAWS scheme, RAWS meaning every vehicle is of a high quality and inspected with no structural damage. Even the sills at the jacking points are super straight and super clean, usually the first place any Skyline will show any carelessness. It is a 1999 model, and I’ve had the VIN through Nissan “FAST” software to confirm it is a V-Spec, and it is equipped with the additional functions in the centre dash display that the V-Spec has.

• I’ve known of the car since it arrived here in Australia, a fellow I’d met years before (who I’d sold a really lovely 32GTR to in fact circa 2002!) actually had it imported for him to order (he specifically wanted a black V-Spec). He was a miner in Mt Isa, where he kept the car until selling it to me here in Brisbane when he drove it down on route to going on an extended overseas holiday. He is a little older than me (45+ I’d say), so a little more mature, and not prone to juvenile treatment of a car. I’m 36 and have been “looking after” my cars for many years now, and I have a race car for venting the male urges 

• Since I purchased the vehicle around a year ago, I have driven approximately 3,000klm. The speedo has just ticked over 51,000klm. The car has never been “tracked”. It is always garaged at my home.

• I have fully serviced the vehicle twice since I’ve had it, and also rebuilt the gearbox as it had a slight whine in the first three gears, we suspect the wrong grade of oil was used at some stage. We installed a new main shaft, 3rd gear, and synchros, good as new now! All the best oils are used.

• I have not had the car on a dyno, with the way the car drives and runs I’ve never had the need to. I haven’t torn the car apart to confirm some of the modifications/parts that I was told were fitted (by the prior Australian owner), because I have no need to doubt the prior owner or spec, nor, considering the performance of the car, would I question the modifications or performance. Somewhere around 250 to 285 AWKW would be fair.

• The car has recently undergone a full three day “paint correction”. I’m anal about this car, and it’s glamorous! Lol

• I have original bumpers and side skirts available by negotiation if that floats your boat.

A parts list (please keep in mind, this is from what I’ve been informed, again, I’ve not dismantled the car to confirm things such as the turbos. The easily seen items I can obviously confirm);

• N1 turbos

• Nistune mapping

• Blitz electronic boost control

• HKS intercooler kit

• HKS oil cooler kit with remote filter

• HKS stainless steel front pipes (works of art)

• HKS 4” stainless steel catalytic convertor (check the price of that!)

• Kakimoto stainless exhaust system cat back

• Trust Airinx air filters (though I have since re-fitted the factory air box with K&N filter to make the intake quieter, I’m getting old )

• Nismo carbon twin plate clutch – superb feel and not “rattly”

• Nismo dash cluster (320klm/h) (fitted in Japan, likely from new as it is the orange type, not the fancy boy white faced version)

• Nismo driver knee braces, also likely fitted new

• Nismo genuine smoked front and side indicators

• Nismo in-tank fuel pump

• Genuine C-West body kit (front bar and under-tray, side skirts, rear bar) - Big bucks, and fits beautifully, looks factory quality and is attached using all original type fasteners in factory locations – no drilling.

• Border brand (Japan) carbon fibre bonnet with venting

• Xenon adjustable height beam headlights

• Kings springs, factory shocks

• Factory fitted mats

• And to top it off, the best set of wheels ever for a GTR, special order only Rays Nismo LMGT4, 19” x 10.5” fitted with 285/30/19 tyres. These cost is excess of $6000 landed without tyres when purchased new, to order from Japan, in June 2009.

• The car has all its original keys too. Meaning two normal Nissan spares, and the factory remote/immobiliser key.

That is all I can think of right now. This car will not disappoint, things like the sills where there is usually damage are arrow straight, that kind of thing. Superb car, and it never ceases to get compliments.

$52,000.

Email me at [email protected] if interested and we can go from there.

** I've obtain more detailed photographs of interior etc for anyone interested over the weekend when I get it out for display at a Japanese car show.

Thanks Gents, especially you Dave.... well, I think it's you.... DAVE! :P

For those awaiting interior and engine bay pics, please bear with me, work commitments have me snowed under, and the weather is too appalling to take it outside for pics!

Hopefully there'll be a break in it tomorrow and I can snap some up for you! :)

One word though..... Mint!

Ok and good morning!

Again, sorry for the delays, rain and work are always an annoyance!

Here are some pics I took this morning, thank Apple for the quality! I'm certain that anyone knowing what they are looking at can tell this GTR is an absolute gem.

Bumping up.

After three weeks plus of emailing and texting (why don't people just use the phone these days?), an interstate buyer has failed to complete the deal, so we're back on the market again! :)

PM me for my mobile number if interested ;)

Ha Ha Ben, I could have told you it will do your head in, that's why I took my car off the market... got sick of dip shits texting me or e mails... The real buyer will call you and even then they will f**k you around.

Good luck with selling it the car looks good..

Dave

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
