Hey guys im looking at purchasing this gtr from wa and was wondering if anyone has seen it before or knows anything about the history of the car.


http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1999/SSE-AD-2550427/?Cr=19&sdmvc=1

For the people that cant be bothered clicking the link it is a 1999 white vspec with a ztune conversion and the bonnet is carbon fibre and the plates on the car are ZLR.

Thanks Con

"I had big plans for this car with almost everything being completely replaced internally and externally with the engine rebuilt at 86,000 Kms."

I'd be asking why it had a big rebuild at 86,000kms ;)

This was his reason as to why it was rebuilt a second time but it might prove a little hard to find out why it was the first time. looks like ill have to give apc a call and see if they can provide me with any details


I purchased the car from a CEO of an accounting company in Brisbane (his toy car) in April of 2009 with roughly 68k 'genuine' Km's on the Odometer.

At the time the engine was already built by APC performance (http://www.apc-racing.com.au/showentry.asp?enid=72) however in November of 2010 (20k Km's later) I discovered the harmonic balancer was not tightened enough and came loose.

Consequently the crank was slightly bent at 86K Km's and so I replaced the crank with a new R34 GTR crank and completely replaced the bottom end. The engine was also retuned by Aaron at In Tune Performance.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
