For the asking price you could pick up a realy nice r34 Gtr. At least that way it will actually be a Gtr.

He won't be selling it any time soon for that price.

Doesn't matter what's done to it, it's still just a gts4

It's an old workshop car which likely means that all parts and labour are cost price and whatever spent is a tax writeoff so nowhere near the cost of your joe blo building it. The fact that its been for sale for longer than I can remember tells you all you need to know about what the market thinks of its value.

As far as "buying a monster and saving 20k" we'll that depends what you mean by a monster. So I'll leave that be cause I can't even remember if its even cut a quick lap before?

It's a dated looking purple gts4 with a parts catalog thrown at it, that's not selling. Maybe he should part it out ??

Another couple of years and you'll get early model 35r's for that kinda money.

Personally as a streetable car I'd prefer a clean stock (minor mods) GTR with some nice jap wheels on it. In the forsale section right now fatz is selling a built long motor for 13k. Add another 3 to 5k for decent shock and spring package.

Stock bodykit + respray in a standard colour + lowered price and itll sell. If I had 40k ide buy it for 40k with a stock bodykit and a standard non-homosexual colour. Couldnt care less if its a GTS4 or not, its a mental car. But its just so expensive and a bit ugly itll never sell at that price.

I see that my car has been put up on this forum, thats fine i dont mind. If it never sells i dont care it can sit under its cover until my kids get it, they keep letting me know thay still love it. :wub:

I also see there are a few knockers thats fine i dont mind :action-smiley-069: . I hope that one day if you ever have the money to do a full build on a skyline to the level this car was built to you would then know the true cost, but i guess that dreams are free :no:.

I know what i have, and anyone that looks at a car like this will have done there research and know what it is or what its not. :google: if not i would let them know.

Easy i would just give them one of the many magazines that have featured this car with all the info anyone would want. or they could watch the many DVDs , movies, ytube etc, i think that this car was around when many of you were still at School, so i under stand your lack of Skyline knowledge in the real world.

You dont see me around the Skyline forum much these days sorry to say to many young P platers with no idea and no money but great with the keyboard.

I will run the add for a while and probably pull it as has happened twice before, there are just to many tyre kickers out there already wasting my time.

This is a great fourm and i have many great memories of the early days of Skylines down under as i was one of the oringals.

Thanks to all the old guys that still remember the old days. :happy:

I like this bit in the add.

DO NOT WASTE MY TIME if you have no money dont bother me i am old and grumpy.

I agree with some of the comments about colour and styling. the kit and colour are not my cup of tea.

I don't doubt its a hot car. but its a bit must pitching it as a GTR when its not.

Well aren't you a condescending fellow.

If you "know what you have" then why do you advertise it as a BCNR33 GTR when it is infact a GTS4 lol? :)

We must have a massive "lack of skyline knowledge in the real world" as for some reason alot of us cannot understand why you have falsely advertised it. Must be something only the older blokes know.

All us young p platers with "no idea" must sound pretty silly I guess to a man of your honesty, fairness and experience.

On behalf of us all, sorry for "wasting your time".

No doubt that it is a fantastic car with all the mods and R&D put into it over the years. No one can seriously doubt that. The awards, results and benefits to Advan over the years are proof of this. However, what has rubbed people the wrong way is the fact that it has not been mentioned in any ad that this car is a converted GTS4 to GTR.

If anyone thinks that this is not such a big deal then they aren't thinking hard enough about it. The fact that the car hasn't sold after such a long time reflects the market's take on it.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had gone to the trouble of arranging an inspection with another mechanic of this "GTR" only to end up finding out that it is in fact a GTS4 with GTR guards. Who is the one "wasting peoples time"?

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
