Hi All,

The time has come to sell my VSPEC for an investment property.

I've owned this car for 2 and a half years and simply just don't have the time to drive it.

It was purchased as my weekender but is mainly garaged and driven once a week and no I never park it anywhere just drive n come

back as who knows what will happen in a carpark...as I have 2 other cars I need one to go. I want her to go

to a good home and be driven as she was meant to be driven.

I'm the second owner and bought the car off a guy who builds and ports race heads whom I still keep contact with.

I have the papers to show when I bought the car and how many K's i've done in the 2 and a half years

and i'd be lucky to have done 3000km.

The car has been modified all work and servicing done at Racepace in Boronia, dyno tuned and tweaked yearly by Chris and Luke whom know the car quite well I have receipts.

I bought the car with 56,000km on the clock and I know there will be speculation on truth etc etc all I

can say is have a look, listen and judge for yourself. I don't believe it myself but the Car runs perfectly and have had no issues with it whatsoever its pretty much a jump in and enjoy the ride car as I have spared no expense in maintaining it and replacing with top notch parts if anything needed to be done which wasn't much.

Here's the lowdown

Engine:

Stock internals

Tomei sump baffles

HKS Oil cooler (Thermostat in sandwich plate)

Aftermarket Cam Gears

Garrett 2860-5 Turbos running 17psi boost

1000cc injectors

Walbro Fuel pump

Koyo 50mm alloy Radiator

Custom oil catch can behind battery

Apexi pods

Nismo AFM's

Oil Drain kit from head to sump

Power FC with HC

HKS Front Pipe

HKS Super Turbo 3.5" catback (nice sound)

metal cat converter

Exedy Button Clutch very drivable

Brakes & Suspension

Tein Super Streets

Cusco Front and Rear strut braces

Advan TC2 rims 17X9.5 wrapped in 235/40/17 hankook RS3's (nice stretch) no gutter rash at all.

braided brake and clutch lines

DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors all round

Adj caster rods front and rear

Camber adj upper arms

Interior & Exterior

Stock - no bubbles or cracks in dash

- no broken vents etc

driver seat has very small hole where they usually appear not too noticable

Defi Single Din Gauge measures Oil, Water Temp and Oil Pressure

Defi Boost gauge in driver side vent

Greddy Gear knob

Ganador Mirrors

No rust anywhere

Rear pods

Car is tuned to a very safe 310rwkw (I have dyno sheets)by Racepace. I'm a mature owner and don't need to go

overboard. I've replaced the power steering pump, clutch master and slave cylinders and thats about it

nothing else has needed changing.When I bought the car I wanted to do some light track work but with work, a wife , weekend golf and the usual things that happen in life this never happened.There is so much potential here.

Give me a msg or call on 0400370477 (Dennis) if you want more detail. Looking for an enthusiast here to own a genuine

Vspec that'll treat her right.

Price $23,000 with RWC or $20,000 NO RWC. Not very negotiable on Price as this is what I think it's worth.

I also have an ARC induction Box, the stock mirrors, X Force Dumps and a few other random bits which

I might throw in with the car for the right buyer.

No Wanna be Stigs for Test Drives please.

Thanks for looking more pics to come when I get some timepost-32632-14113865423996_thumb.jpgpost-32632-14113865889531_thumb.jpgpost-32632-1411386620555_thumb.jpgpost-32632-1411386662281_thumb.jpgpost-32632-14113867091596_thumb.jpgpost-32632-14113867511589_thumb.jpgpost-32632-14113867775935_thumb.jpgpost-32632-1411386832006_thumb.jpgpost-32632-1411386920689_thumb.jpg

Dennis.

Probably nothing I rang Chris from Racepace and he reckons it'll be quite straightforward putting into consideration the modifications but if you look at the car for road worthiness the windscreen is perfect tyres are still new though they been on the car almost 2 years they still have the little rubber things in the sidewall like they're brand new everything works though air con could use a re gas height of the car is stock might need those child restraint bolt things in the back but not sure if that's a requirement anymore

  • 2 months later...

Resurrecting this as the car is up for sale again and i need it gone asap. I've just bought another property, the plan was to build the car with my cousin as a second financier and build a shared track car that didn't happen as my cuz got sent overseas for 2 years for work, so car has been sitting around in the garage again as usual and driven on the weekend

I got no time to muck around so am dropping the price regrettably on a clean, reliable and genuine vspec come get it $19K no rwc as I don't have the time. Many have come to see the car first time round and can attest to the attention to detail and time spent getting the car to a place where I was happy as an owner. Rego till end June 2015

Sms me if u are genuinely interested only please 0400 370 477

Cheers

Hey mate

Saw your posts in another thread

http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/450702-garrett-2860-5s-for-sale-melbourne/?fromsearch=1

Does the car now have -7s installed? If so, what is the new tune making and when is boost by?

Yep got -7's in there now still making 308rwkw and full boost by just under the 3500rpm mark response has improved 100% and u can really tell the difference between the 7's and 5's car is also much more fun and also more drivable

Still have the -5's if the buyer wants Em for a discounted price

Thanks Dennis, I actually don't know how you talked me into buying this! I was after a wagon! Look forward to posting my updates on what I do with this beautiful VSpec and am ready for Birds to troll ALL my posts! :P

I have a no trolling policy for vehicles I've considered for purchase

Good luck with the car, I think this one will really hold it's value well over the years

Am envious

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
