For the RB25DET engine the ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers and was instead replaced by smart ignition coils (Ignitor built into coil) and ECU.

 

The RB25DET's turbo was also given a nylon compressor wheel to improve response.

 

The headlights which tapered down more towards the grill and were fitted with improved reflectors, the grill (which was longer on the Spec 1), the bonnet which had a re-shaped leading edge to fit the new lights and front bumper changing shape in the smallest amount to match the lower edge of the new headlights. Later models of the Spec 2 also had the option of having an Active-LSD fitted.

 

Not all 40th Anniversary cars came out with MR Bodykits (GTR Wing & MR front bar) this car was MSpec only from factory.

 

Whomever buys her gets a driveaway car with not a cent to pay replacing worn out items unlike 90% up for sale elsewhere.

 

No TimeWasters

 

Please don't waste time asking whats my best/lowest price.

 

The GTR floormats are NOT included in the sale, the car will come with GTST floormats.

 

Ive also got a bunch of S2.5 spare parts which I'll be placing up for sale shortly

Very nice car and a very special colour. While if I had a lazy 20k I’d grab it, I think youl have trouble finding a buyer at that price. Anyway glws, id love to get it and put a manual in it and some go fast parts.

Why rip apart a well preserved original car just for the sake of having a manual when r33 autos are some of the best auto boxes in the world. Ive owned both and i prefer autos actually for a daily. And they are not slower provided you havent put in some new slick smooth shifting fluid. They boost up and just hold the boost whereas manual is very hit and miss. Ive seen s1s r33s make 400k on original auto box handling a boosted engine for decades. 

The only thing i miss with manual is clutch dumping but for a daily thats not sensible anyway.l and in traffic auto blows manual anyday

Has this car been in an accident? Its been written off?

  • Confused 1

Was Economical only due to airbags and I bought my car back and spent thousands. (Over $9k) to restore it back, no VIV was ever required. Chassis straight as, and the reason why I restored it, ZERO chassis damage, was all superficial. Has basically brand new entire front end but original engine cause it wasnt damaged a year off the road to do it. No money spared, best spray painters available, new parts and/or parts stripped off another 40th Anniversary car i bought. Rad just needed replacing plus stuff on the rad, was pretty straight forward.

So Bonnet, Rad, Headlights , Reo etc were replaced, front guards were ok not damaged. Looked alot worse than what it was.

Registered 1 year later without any inspections required only a RWC.

She's A1 now , zero rust.

 

FINAL PRICE DROP $17,000.

Otherwise price will go back up if I pay for rego July 5th.

 

 

I just can't afford to have both a GTR & a GTST in our current situation. But saying that I won't be selling it off cheap cause she's a really good car. Great base to start a build.

Im keeping our GTR and selling this car.

i have a s2 white gtr  that was written off for panel damage 12 years ago. Was too expensive to repair the car at the time so they wrote it off for being in a accident where the owner hit a car up the backside and the car behind hit him.

For minior panel damage the air bags both of the did not deploy even. 

I still would want decent money for it. cars can be written off for sfa. My girls friends car parked had some one reverse into it. damage rad support no air bag deploy bonet front bar they wrote the car off....... who gives a rats ass if its been in a accident theres heaps of cars on the road people fix that have never been reported. Also cars imported from jpn that have been repaired before sold on auction that have had a smash how would you ever know.

Agreed.

My car is actually better than what it was beforehand. I got really good panel beaters that didnt take any shortcuts. Everything done exactly like factory even down to the overspray.
Plus brand new a/c condenser panel, radiator plus a heap of goodies.
Alot of money poured into it.
Its a real shame I have to sell her off but we just need a daily car.

Happy to swap plus cash my way for a Ford XR6 Ute, Hilux dual cab or Landcruiser, Nissan Patrol, something up to $8k but no high km shitboxes.

The revised price will be $18k to reflect this.
Can do a slightly cheaper deal for stock rims not Hussla GT's.

Car now has a current VIC RWC as of 16/08/2018 that you can see needed zero things done to pass with 94% brakes.

See attached photo

 

So it’s ready to buy & drive with zero issues.

 

Good solid car to start your own build from scratch which is half the fun of owning a GTST is the journey building your own car VS buying someone else’s build.

 

The car also comes with registration til July 2019 (almost 12mths)

 

Everything this rare LP2 Type M 40th Anniversary model came out with is on this car or I have the rest of it with me.

 

$18,000 FIRM

 

$17,500 No Rego , No RWC

 

$19,000 inc additional stock rims (see photos) , 40th grill & bonnet badge, RWC & Rego.

 

CASH ONLY

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
