Yeh you do need the money thats why you're trying to sell that thing for 44k don't lie. lying is no good. and you will get "low balled" because of your unrealistically hefty asking price

I need the space in the garage for cars I use, not for something that I no longer have a passion for.

If someone is not willing to pay what I consider to be fair value, the car will stay in my garage until my love for racing returns.

Thanks for your 2c though.

What are with these stabby comments lately? This is just as worse as 'pauls' comments in the Fs- Haltech PS2000 thread. Regardless if he needs the money or not I think it's a personal decision on the price he's asking. Converting a car to full track spec is not overly cheap, and if someone out there wants one without all the time and effort into building one then this *might* be for them. It might seem a little "unrealistic" to you but there are many variables involved to determine the value, so what would you consider a "realistic" price? If that's the asking price then so be it. He's not forcing this down your throat.

Unless you're offering constructive feedback then you should hold your tongue.

Considering the amount of quality top shelf gear in this car not to mention the spares/extras that are with the car buying it for mid $40's you'd be getting a fairly good buy considering buying the base car then buying all the gear and getting the work done yourself.

Looks like a well set up car from the specs listed

You can't received PM's as requested. But wow a sexy car, reads nearly line by line the same as mine except the rebuilt engine with extra 100kw and dry sump. Certainly worth a bit.

As a track day fan and looking to put another $30K into my car to aim for 1.05's. I wonder how you based "will be good for 1.03s" What has the car actually done at Wakefield with official timing?

Inbox cleared out so should work now.

Car has done a 1.05 flat at wakefield...

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7GQJKW5QorA

If the link doesn't work then just type 33 gtr testing wakefield in the YouTube search box.

The car underwent some large improvements since that video. The front LSD was fitted, rear diff redone with nismo internals, brake bias adjuster installed which made the car far more balanced under heavy braking, and shorter gearing installed with the 4.375's. I've also had the ruzic controller II fitted but have not been on the track since that's been in the car. I'm told they make a noticeable difference to corner exit speed.

Boz complained that the tyres were rooted and fresh ones could have been worth somewhere between a half and full second a lap.

Nicely set up car and worth the dollars. Ignore post #3, he probably has a sperm plug he needs to lose.

Most people have no idea of the true cost of getting a car properly built to race like this.

Ok we'll see how long it stays on the market. The value of a car is what people are willing to pay for. You guys can run your mouth about this is worth 40k or even 80k all day and won't even mean a thing. None of you guys will buy it for 40k. Let me see any of you fork out 40k to actually buy it, then i will agree it is worth that much because that is what it gets sold for. Action speaks louder the words. We have too many dreamers in the JDM world who think their cars are worth $$$$$$

My 2c.....

What cars are worth and what they are sold for are two totally different things IMHO. If, and I say IF, this car happened to sell for $20k for instance (which it won't), that doesn't mean it's still not worth $40k, it just means that someone got a BARGAIN!

I've seen this car in the flesh, and built quite a few cars in my time. It's as good as any track car out there and definately WORTH $40k. It would be perfect for someone looking to introduce themselves to some club/track days or circuit racing like iRace or MRA. If that's their intention then they are getting a lot of car for $40k and a lot more than they could build starting from scratch with $40k in pocket.

Been there done that, unless you've done it you've got no idea of the costs to do so....

I'm looking at close to 20k for an engine rebuild including misc parts. So 40k'ish for a track ready refreshed beast doesnt sound expensive at all.

'tk80'- love your response, 'Owens'- regarding haltech, you might want to read that whole thread as it started with me trying to gauge the sellers position, and unlike tk80 he showed his character very quickly. I'd like to think that I bit my tongue a lot more than the seller with his flying abuse.

All the best tk80 as this is a really nice build and purple is definately my favourite colour on the 33 GTRs.

Out of curiosity, whats stopping this from being street legal/registered with the occasional track time fix?

i'm not up to speed with the current laws but the weld in cage is probably the biggest thing standing in the way of registration.
The car has full compliance but has not been registered since 2011.
If it appeals to someone who would like to drive it on the street i can likely organise (renew) the QLD rego.
Rego or no rego, the buyer can have the plates (GTR29).

Clearly this GODZIIILLLAAA34 bloke has no idea what it costs to build a car like this. The engine, oil and fuel system would come pretty close to the asking price alone.

$44k, cheap and well worth every penny, if I had the cash sitting around and the room this car would be heading to my house :thumbsup:

I to have seen this car in the flesh and was very impressed with it, unfortunately I am nearing the end of my own build and out of spare moneys ATM

    • 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.
