nedb and GTS_DUY, its a standard GTSt with JUN 4 Door GTR Kit. It also sports an SR20DET.

As for the rear tail lights, they are from a coupe. if you wanna do a rear lights conversion drop me a pm, we have copied rear bars that allow you to fit coupe style tail lights and bootlit.

I nearly bought one from Queensland that was done by Skyline imports. It was black GTS4 R33, but had all the R33 GTR V-Spec gear including the pumped guards. They wanted $40k for it, I got it inspected and before I could put a deposit on it, someone from Dubbo bought it:rant: . The conversion was very well done, but it was not a real 4 door GTR. I looked at importing one and I could not get it for less than $75k onroad. This is because the did not have SEVS and needed to go through all the evidence crap. Even though they have the same driveline, the exhaust is dirrerent, so it would not pass. I think you would find that Edwardo's car has a yellow (pesonal import) compliance plate as it would not have passed under the new scheme. I also looked at a Stagea 260RS in Queensland and this car was $60k, but it is not the same as a REAL 4 door GTR.....I had to settle for a XR6 Turbo at the end of the day, but I would swap it in a heartbeat for that 4 door GTR:wassup:

Mine was imported under the old scheme. I saw the black one as well it was a very nice conversion. I have seen one other a silver 97 it ended up in SA. They only came in three colours. White, silver and purple (the one I really wanted).

It is amazing how many Skyline owners who stop and don't believe it is genuine ,until I let them inspect it.

Pics of the interior and under the bonnet, and the other two colours.

I've seen this car in the flesh. It's very nice ;)

I even took a very bad quality photo of it with my mobile :P

That is at Gavin's shop it is using a bit too much fuel.( I know it is a GTR) but one of the oxygen sensors is faulty I am waiting for one from Japan, and a Power FC.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
