Hi guys,

It is with great regret that I'm putting my pride and joy up for sale, the one and only Original Godzilla, the R32 GT-R. Those here in WA will have seen this car in social media being posted on Facebook by Enthusiast Groups, but most have never seen in real life due to it being kept in a warehouse for most of the time I have owned it and starting it on most weekends to keep the battery going and the oil moving. Well, now its up for sale. The paint on this car is still the factory Pearl Blue which is a special order on the V-specs (according to an independent site, only around 300 ever produced in this colour and 1 of 2 known in WA. This guy went to Fuji Speedway for the biggest GTR Meet in the world and only saw 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bQVhE72CWQ, skip to 10:41 haha, but check out the rest of the video too lol). Lots and lots of fruit and plenty of money has been spent on it!! She has been driven less than 2000kms in the time I have owned it which is about 1.5 years. Just paid for rego for another 6 months. If you're a serious buyer, get in touch with me and I can go through the vehicle in more detail and tell you the history of the vehicle. You will not find another that is in this condition with the original paint on still. There are some touching up that may be needed on the rear bumper due to sun damage from previous owner but I didn't want to fix as I wanted to keep everything as original as possible body wise.

Please note typos on the article: NOT a Nismo gearbox but it is built and T88's are made by GReddy as most of you already know. Lots of other things are not mentioned either.

NOT for the faint hearted and inexperienced drivers. Traction is lost on all 4 wheels in 2nd gear when hitting boost!! Tuned to over 600HP+ and has been driven on safe tune and low boost at 550hp. Engine is very healthy and T88 set up is still relatively new.

Reason for sale: car is hardly EVER used and hardly sees sunshine or the public eye, and I'm just paying for insurance, rego and warehouse storage costs. Ask all the guys with the best GTR's in WA and they will vouch for it. Rather another fellow enthusiasts who has been waiting for a rare and clean R32 monster enjoy it. So the guys who have been waiting, here it is guys. Make me an offer before someone else takes it. She even has the original glove compartment key. I have never seen another person with a 32R who still has theirs.

Chasing $28,500 o.n.o.

That Colour is awesome...i can't believe it's an OEM colour....If only i still lived in Perth I would be all over this. hope it goes to a good home.

shame you didn't drive it more often mate, I drive my GTR at least once a week, would go nuts if I didn't

Would love to add a 32 to my collection, alas 2 cars is enough for me for now.

Hey mate, you're right. I would love to drive her but I've got a really busy work schedule as well as two other brand new cars of which I only use one.. and thats when the misses does her shopping. Therefore after much deliberation, I have come to the realisation that she needs to go to someone who will spend more time with her.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
