Really clean....needs a new steering wheel, as the leather/vinyl has started to come away..

Otherwise - seems true to the kays -and has been with the same owner for 11 yrs and 60000kms..

The plenum still has all its paint..

Couple of rust patches - one under the spare, and one on each side of the front window sill, but appears to be surface only - and I'll get treated straight away.

Only variation from stock - cruise control...!! driven by old blokes..!!

Very beautiful car mate!

Are you planning on keeping her stock or start the process of upgrades??

At this stage - I'll leave it be.

It has a button clutch in it at the moment, which I'm not sure I want to live with - as I have a very steep driveway at home.

I think I'll keep it as an investment - see what the values do as it approaches 25yrs - I don't reckon there would be many stock ones around.

I'll still drive it though - but mostly for coffee runs up the mountains around here.

Its a lot of money for me - so the idea of thrashing it on a track doesn't necessarily appeal either.

Yes, it's very tempting to start making little mods here and there, but it's a bottomless pit once you start! Ive done and am doing a few to my R33 GTS-T, however, to be honest if I had a GTR I wouldn't touch the motor/turbo etc. They came from the factory w/ more then enough for your average driver and ability to use on public roads.

I would have to upgrade the alloys though to at least 18" and after market springs - just so the wheels fill out the arches!

Enjoy your machine mate :)

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
