It is with great regret that I have to sell our beloved Skyline...

1996 GTS-t series II manual

Nice clean car in white with stock standard body and interior, duco in good condition with no rust.

Has been 100% reliable and my wife's daily driver. Still gets 350km to a tank around town/ country, more on the highway! :-)

$000's spent since we bought this, lots of modifications done already but nothing that would attract the law or be cause for defects. (QLD).

96,000k on the odo, 7k since engine rebuild.

$15,000 ono. with 4 months rego, RWC

Located in Bundaberg, QLD

Mods (the good news)

Engine :

Rebuild 8 months/ 7k ago. Full details available.

$3,500 spent so timing belt, waterpump etc. all done.

Turbo:

Rebuilt approx 18 months ago, steel exhaust wheel.

Solenoid removed so runs up to std 7psi throughout rev range. (done by PO)

HKS turbo timer

Exhaust:

HKS Super Drager from turbo back. 3" with 5" polished stainless steel outlet.

Intake:

Large K&N pod filter (fitted 2 months ago, wished I done sooner as opened up the engine massively. Nice induction noise and noticeable but not obscene blow off valve noise).

Standard smic

Z32/ GTR? AFM (fitted by PO who obviously had plans...)

Suspension:

BC Racing RS series. Height and rebound/ damping adjustable. (6 months old)

Currently set to 345mm rear and 355 front (wheel centre to arch).

Did have this 20mm lower as seen in the in garage pics but too low for Bundy's speed bumps!

Wheels:

New rims and tyres (8 months ago)

19"x8" Enkei LF-11 in gloss black (8 months old).

Interior:

Clarion head unit, new 6.5" Pioneer in rear, new 6" Sony fronts (need fitted).

Looks as good as a 15 year old car would. All switches, windows etc. work.

Factory fitted sunroof, quiet, doesn't leak, buttons work.

Alarm:

New alarm, immobiliser, remote central locking. 2 remotes and keys. (8 months old)

Other:

New battery (8 months old)

Just serviced (5,000km service)

My TODO list (The bad news)

Head unit needs fitted properly, missing the factory brackets. It works but not great, first project.

Missing some lining in the boot covering battery, priced this up at $50-$70 2nd hand.

No glovebox, just a black perspex plate. (PO saving weight?). $60 2nd hand.

Rear parcel shelf could do with recarpeting, PO had 6x9's in.

Usual handbrake, gearshift boot a bit untidy.

There's nothing else apparently wrong with the car and I'm happy to let a mechanic/ RACQ look over it for serious buyers.

Nobody deserves nasty surprises and I'll happily discuss any genuine problems before haggling over the price.

Car is in Bundaberg but for a serious buyer, in a position to buy now and isn't going to offer silly money I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance for inspection.

Please respect my time by keeping questions to the sensible ones and negative comments to PM's only. :-)

    • Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?
    • You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.
    • any further information on this? also interested in putting a zf6 in behind a rb30!
    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
