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

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
