With much reluctance, I am putting my baby up for sale.

In the one year that I have owned it, this car has been showered with TLC, and is one of the best kept Supras you will lay eyes on.

History:

• Build date July 1998

• Rare Quicksilver colour

• One Japanese owner

• Auction grade 4

• Imported by me through J-Spec Imports in mid 2004

• Just under 70000 kms at time of import

• Currently 81000 kms

• Modifications – brand new aftermarket brakes, wheels, clutch, suspension, car security (detailed below)

• Services (detailed below) – one major service at time of import (timing belt, spark plugs, clutch, all engine fluids, etc etc), one minor service at 75000kms

• NO ENGINE MODS! Never boosted, raced, or abused

• Engine warmed up for 10 minutes before each and every run, and idled for 2 minutes before shutting off, to reduce thermal stresses on engine and prolong engine life

• All gear changes made before 3000 rpm to prolong engine life

• Washed every week, waxed every month

Any professional inspection is welcome.

** BONUS OFFER **

I'm going to include the original Volk GT-C wheels (as pictured above) in the purchase price, as well as the WORK VS-TXs that are on the car at the moment.

The Volks are worth $3600 by themselves.

There's already been a fair bit of interest in the car, so the bonus wheels are a bit of a deal sweetener.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
