*SEE PICTURES BELOW*


The car was purchased back in 2010 by my dad as the first Australian owner (mature owner), and has been well looked after since then.  It was originally black with a genuine Garage Impul body kit before I purchased the car off him and completely changed the look of it. Since completion of the exterior work in May 2013 I’ve completed a mere 12,000kms in the last 3 years. The car has been very well looked after by me, and has been serviced 2-3 times per year even with the minimal driving. I have never tracked or drifted this car either, with most of the mileage being an easy cruise around town or the occasional highway drive.

I have a full service history for the car since ownership in my family, as well as receipts for bodywork of around $12,000 alone. It is a very well presented, tidy car, with stock performance and a therefore unmolested engine bay. All exterior work was carried out by J Racing here in Canberra, and the car has been regularly serviced by ESP in Queanbeyan and Trojan in Mitchell over the years.

The car has just had a full detail in preparation for sale.

ENGINE/DRIVELINE

 

  • Stock standard rb25det neo – 135,000kms shown on stock cluster
  • Motul fluids always used
  • Bigger battery installed in July – Neuton
  • Gates Racing timing belt
  • Xtreme Heavy duty organic clutch kit
  • HKS hi-power silent exhaust
  • HKS pod filter
  • Nismo radiator cap
  • Splitfire coilpacks

Never boosted, never had any issues other than the slight misfire that is common due to the stock coilpacks which have been changed. I noticed a very slow intermittent coolant leak onto my front diffuser which I had checked out by Trojan, and I was told it’s due to there being a non-genuine water pump installed – though this has never caused an issue at all nor has the temperature ever risen. I haven’t spotted this leak for some time now.

EXTERIOR

 

  • Genuine Garage Impul rear bar
  • Genuine Garage Impul sideskirts – front of skirts trimmed to fit flush with GTR guards
  • Genuine alloy GTR front guards – rolled to prevent scrubbing
  • Genuine Ganador aero mirrors
  • Bodyform CRUISE replica GTR front bar
  • Bodyform replica GTR front splitter
  • Seibon z-tune style GTR carbon fibre bonnet
  • Rear guards pumped and flared a massive 40mm either side, and rolled – to accommodate wider wheels
  • Boot lid spoiler removed, holes professionally welded shut, boot lock shaved
  • Nismo smoked indicators front and side
  • Black plastic ACT number plates
  • LED bright front parking lights
  • LED third brake light
  • Entire car professionally resprayed in R33 GTR Midnight Purple (LP2) minus the engine bay which is still black, but windows and panels were removed.

All exterior work meticulously carried out by J Racing in Fyshwick. I had a vision in mind, and we worked for months to tweak every aspect exactly as I wanted it to look.  The only changes I would make would be to lower the car permanently (which is impractical as can be seen in some of the photos when I lowered it) and the addition of a boot lip spoiler of some sort.

The carbon fibre bonnet has begun going cloudy from UV ray damage, but this is the only flaw to the exterior other than some very small stone chips and the odd scratch or two, but I’m fussy.

WHEELS & TIRES/BRAKES

 

  • Varrstoen 1.1.1 in brushed alloy – 18x10.5 +15 all round
  • Federal 595 RSR 255/35/18
  • Hub centric ring locators to better position rims
  • Open ended steel lug nuts with extended key to avoid scratching the rims
  • Full set of rainbow coloured open ended lug nuts as spares
  • EBC slotted and dimpled disc rotor set with Bendix GCT pads

INTERIOR

 

  • Factory power sunroof
  • RHS window regulator replaced
  • Rare Nismo driver’s seat – Not sure on the details of this, I’ve looked everywhere

     

  • Nismo black aluminium shift knob
  • Blue LED interior and dash lighting
  • Ultra-bright interior LED light
  • Shift boot in black leather with dark purple stitching
  • Handbrake boot in black leather with dark purple stitching
  • Gear surround, centre console fascia, and triple gauge pod all repainted
  • Original floor mats
  • Old turbo timer
  • Factory tool bag and jack still in boot

The interior is in immaculate condition overall other than some slight wear on the driver’s seat and steering wheel

SUSPENSION/HANDLING

  • BC Racing Gold series adjustable coilovers – Installed April 2012
  • New LHF knuckle assembly, RHF rack end, RHF & LHF sway bar link rods, LHR rack end - All installed late 2015 with alignment carried out
  • All steering alignments and suspension work carried out by Capital Steering and Suspension in Fyshwick

ADDITIONAL

The car will come with a few spare parts that I have in my garage should the buyer like to take them, and I also have the genuine Garage Impul gtt front bar previously installed and a full rear seat assembly from an r34 gtr which can be arranged in the price.

I absolutely love this car and never thought I would sell it, but a busy uni schedule means I’m unable to enjoy it.

Price: $22,900 negotiable – NO SWAPS

 

Open to reasonable offers, but if you’re looking to lowball I likely won’t bother replying. When you take into account that well looked after gtt’s fetch around $15k or more, and then take into account the work done to this car with costs totalling to well over $20k in receipts, I think this is a reasonable price to ask.

Feel free to ask questions in this thread or via PM

Tom

As mentioned, I was going to add a boot lip spoiler, but decided to stop pouring money into the car. I originally had a gtr replica wing that was going on the car, but I changed my mind with the look I wanted to achieve and therefore sold it.

If you so desire, you can add a wing yourself. Why would I source out and purchase a genuine gtr spoiler, paint it, and fit it, when I'm selling the car?

That would cost within the range of around:

  • $1000 to do for a genuine wing - $500 for wing, $500 paint and fit
  • $750-800 for a replica wing - $250-300 for replica wing, same painting and fitting cost.

If that's all that is holding you back from taking a genuine interest in the car, I would guess you aren't actually genuinely interested. I mentioned the price is negotiable - meaning I could factor this cost in if that was a make it or break it for a potential buyer.

Ok you're half right-I was originally looking for gtt, but my budget grew so thought I'd source GTR-but as prices keep rising for GTR's, I'm reconsidering gtt's-so just putting feelers out there

    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
