Its sad for me to do this, but unfortunately its time to move onto a 4door family car.

it has been my all time favourite Nissan & been in love with the shape since i was 14 (back in early gran turismo days).

I've owned it for the past 3~years (will be 4 years in August) and i am the 3rd owner in Australia (got all import/compliance paperwork from when it came over).

During this time, its undergone major changes & upgrades.

Life started out as an ordinary R34 GT with a 5 speed RB25DE non turbo.

Not long after, i bolted on a turbo kit to it, made 210rwkw @ 1bar, lasted about 1.5years before piston 6 ring land gave up (approx 120XXXkm)

Then came the new motor in 2010, with a rebuilt bottom end.

Engine:

Forged bottom end with CP Pistons 20thou oversize

GTR con rods with ARP studs, balanced

standard crank balanced, and fitted with a crank collar.

head lightly ported on inlet & exhaust sides, cleaned & machined

custom oil drain from the head > sump

ARP head & main studs

ARP race bearings

N1 Oil pump

OEM water pump

oil restrictors

carbing oil catch can

Blitz DD Venturi bov

ACL metal head gasket

ACL metal exhaust manifold gasket & Turbo gasket

600CC highflow injectors (43psi) & 850cc (60psi)

nismo adjustible fuel reg

CPC custom plenum

TD06SL2-20G 10cm turbo

600x300x76mm front mount intercooler with 2.5" end tanks & custom piping, all sprayed black

tial 44mm wastegate mounted on the stock manifold with custom removable screamer pipe (plumb back or atmo)

braided oil & water feed lines

custom 3" V band dump/front pipe (1 piece)

custom 3" metal intake with 3A racing filter

impul racing style side skirts

GTR fibreglass rear wing

6K HIDS

CF weather shields

CF vinyl wrapped pillars

Suspension:

KTS coilovers

Kazama castor rods

new OEM tie rod ends (less then 3000km old)

whiteline adj front sway bar

GTR rear swaybar

rear subframe lower brace (not fitted)

Drivetrain:

R33 GTST brakes with RDA extreme front, bendix standard rear.

R33 GTST shimmed LSD

Exedy Heavy Duty Button clutch

Rota Grids 18x9.5+20 (front) 18x10 +30 (rear)

long black steel lug nuts

brake master stopper

RB20DET gearbox

Rego valid till August 2012, the car has done 25XXX km since the rebuild, and hasn't skipped a beat and still running strong. It is serviced every 5000KM with fully synthetic oil (mobil 1 0w40 for first 10,000km, now switched to Castrol Edge 10w60)

The car has been tuned by Jeremy @ DVS TUNING and pulled 281rwkw @ 18psi - currently surges on anything higher then 18psi - not sure why it does this, tried a anti-surge front cover and it didn't help.

Will come with standard nissan exhaust (with cat) and shocks/springs.

the bad:

- minor chips on bonnet

- marks on front bar when it was hit & run at car park shopping centre

- marks on rear bar when it was hit & run again at car park shopping centre

- deep key mark on driver side door

- minor ding on passenger door & rear quarter from shopping trollies

- steering rack has a minor leak but may be able to supply a 2nd hand rack (pending sale price)

- rear right coilover is knocking (most likely leaking)

- pass headlight is cloudy, its getting on the inside somehow.

price: $16,990 ONO with rota wheels - i can remove parts off the car to make it cheaper. also open to swaps +/- cash for a 4 door.

minus $500 if you want veilside andrew 18x8/18x9 wheels instead.

I'm really considering coming to take a look at this.

Looks pretty mint, You've done a really good job on this.

I'll be in contact mate.

thanks for the comments guys.

its not a typo turboty,

like i said, it started life as a GT (non turbo)

but its got all the turbo running gear in it, the box is a RB20 running redline shockproof Gbox oil with G70 nulon treatment.

forgot my phone #, how silly - 0413544494

price is negotiable and open to swaps!

Wow dude, sucks to see your selling it.

Has been great to see you mould this from an average NA to something extremely unique with power to match.

I know from your early posts that you were extremely passionate about the car and looked after it well.

Hope you find something else you can put your ideas into.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Adam :)

It is sad for me to sell and it will be missed but its time for me to move on to a family car.

forgot to mention that the car is located near Liverpool after hours or Gladesville during business hours.

Cheers

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
