0-100 in 6.6 sec, not bad for a factory stock Auto. There is a lot of tuning possibility with this car.

The car was owned by me and imported to Australia as a personal import last year directly from Japan. Finance and warranty available..... this is a genuine sale so please only inquire if you are serious. All details can be supplied to potential buyers, so please PM me if interested.

$32,000 neg.

That is so nice mate, I would snap it up if it wasnt so far over ($10,000) my price range... =(

Good luck with the sale, I've seen pics of this car on the net somewhere before - I can't remember where though... Very clean car and extremely rare and this is going below what some other people are asking for the same car with higher kms and what not.

Thanks for the kind words..

I have posted the car on a couple of sites, so you may have seen it. Its currently in Sydney with a friend who is taking care of the sale of it and having it detailed for me etc. I think its priced for a quick sale, I have seen another bone stock one with higher K's that they want 38K for.

Cheers...

Should have also mentioned that the car is completely prepped for registration, all that needs doing is the rego payment to be made. There are no import issues to be overcome with this vehicle as it has all been taken care of....

Car must be sold as I have already bought a replacement and I need to recover the money thats in this one....

Cheers...

dude, very nice car...but IIRC '97 Autos were still 260ps, wasn't till late '98 did the Auto have 280ps.

Looks like there are now 2 in Aust, a mate is also selling his. Good Luck with the sale.

MFG specs show as 280, so thats what I am going off, Id be more than happy to Dyno it, either way, it has a lot of power and it hasnt had much in the way of mods, If a KS Rom was installed it would instantly have 320 HP... Not too bad I supose... anyway, I really just want to sell the car at the moment, as I have just bought my next toy, an R34 V Spec II... :)

Hey matey, nice set of wheels, just one question,why does it cost so much? Just came back from nz where you can buy a 98-99 model for about $14000-$17000also with either leather / recaro interior

Unfortunately this car is not currently available as an import to Australia, or at least nobody has done one as a test car as yet under the SEVS scheme, regardless, the car is priced accordingly against likely comparisons.... Im sure that you can buy almost any car cheaper in NZ since NZ has such open import laws!!

    • 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
