Hey guys, I recently bought this GTR and I'm not in a rush to sell it, I love it. I'm just putting it up for sale merely as an expression of interest, an exercise out of boredom if you will. If it sells, I'll move on, if not I'm completely happy to keep it :)

The engine was built by Gavin Wood on the Gold Coast, the mods are as follows:

CP Pistons

Eagle Rods

Tomei 270 cams

Springs/Retainers

N1 turbos with HKS actuators

Full custom tucked 3.5" exhaust and high flow cat made by Fabulous Fabrications (beautiful work) along with custom Hot/Cold cooler pipe.

Intercooler

Haltec Platinum Pro ECU

Bilstein/Eibach strut/spring combo

Cusco Swaybars

Cusco 1.5w rear diff, fully rebuilt and new diff bushing installed with newer (and slightly larger/stronger) R33 half shafts

Ikeya Formula front and rear upper control arms.

HICAS delete.

Desmond Regamasters in 17x10 + 20 wrapped in near new Federal 595 RSR's

The car made 385hp at all four on 18 psi and at a very rich tune of 11:1 up top. If I keep it, it'll be getting a retune shortly for more boost and a little less fuel, but it's quick as it is.

Aircon is cold, chassis rails are straight, no rust, this is a clean GTR :)

2 minor issues, the passenger side dash vent is missing (previous owner broke it trying to install a cup holder) and it needs new coil pack connectors and possibly coil packs. The coil issue will be taken care of prior to sale and I can chuck a vent in it, I just haven't found one for sale yet.

$21,000 ono

Will entertain the thought of trades, just depends on what I'm being offered but send your offers through anyway, it can't hurt!

Since listing for sale the car has had
New coils (old coils were fine, misfire was being caused by a boost leak thanks for a faulty coupler)
Service in the last 100km
Brake rotors machined and pads linished, brand new pads
Replaced coupler to get rid of boost leak
The car is ready for its new home

It's an 89 Grant, yes I have a dyno graph floating around somewhere.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
