As you can see, I have used nothing but quality parts and I have every single receipt for this car. There is absolutley nothing to spend on it. The interior is spotless and the body and paint is excellent.

Hey mate, can't belive your getting rid of your car already, and after all the trouble you went through.

Unfortunatly i think R33 GTR's don't bring 40k+ anymore.

Being a series 3 you'll get more than the rest of the S1's out there... Depends how desperate you are to sell it, if you hold out for the right buyer you could probably get low 40's?

Andrew, I don't really want to get rid of it....My daughter is two weeks old now and so I want to see how we go with our finances. If I find that we are struggling a little (I'm the only income earner) then I might have to get rid of it...

I know that trying to get a Series 3 GTR V-Spec (a clean one that is) from Japan will cost over 40K shipped, complied, registered etc, so a nicely modded one should be a little over that....

Personally I wouldn't budge on the price. Looks like an awesome car, and a car that has been built properly (eg. not using cheap ass parts). Being a series 3 it should get you over 40k with ease.

Good luck with the sale.

Hey mate nice car, pity about the price tho... I've been looking for a r33 v-spec for over 2 months now and even tho it sounds like a great car, having previuously owned a 33 gtr i know the difficulties of selling one. Most people who want one can't afford one and then if they can insurance is hard to get and expensive.

What is the lowest price you will take for it? I am a serious buyer, live in WA but will be heading east late Jan early Feb. I'm a cash buyer and depending on where the best car is, is where i will go (My gf & i both have time off and will make a holiday out of it).

If u like u can contact me via email or msn at: [email protected]

thnx G.

I personally no the whole history of this car since day 1 when George Bought it and i can vouch that this car is immaculate and has been looked after by George as his 3rd Child

All the Best George hope you sell it champ

hey..i was just browsing, but what sort of car are you interested in trading for? your getting rid of a GTR because of finances, so im assuming that you dont really want to swap for another skyline/sports car - is this correct?

hehe well dont get me wrong, i'm interested, but just wanted an idea of what lesser valued car you were after.

anyways, gl with everything and congrats on ur new born!

deriq.

Deriq thanks for that mate :)

I've already got a family car so I don't need to change the GTR for that reason but I want a cheaper car than this one to increase my cash flow so I'm after anything really. Don't mind if its a sports car as it will be the car I use without the family...

If ur interested call me or send me a pm...

Can I see a photo of the interior if at all possible?

What do you mean by "red stitch"? Is it just standard?

I am currently signed up with prestige motorsport and am after a Series 3 vspec. Havnt yet found what I am after and have been looking for over 2 months now.

Saw your thread ages ago, but wasnt down for black duco - i've since changed my mind, black has grown on me alot ;)

Your car looks great. Bud i wouldn't budge on the price! In saying that the market at the moment for all cars (Personal opinion) is really really slow. The only people out their want an unrealistic deal! But like all cars their is a buyer....... it just take a while to fine them! Good luck with the sale.

Hi George,

Just letting you know (like you asked me to) that I have now got a GTR. Found a 1996 V-spec, with fresh engine (I am the first to drive it), HKS internals (oversized), strengthen rods, oversized valves, N1 R34 turbo’s, larger (core) intercooler, HKS adjustable cam gears, Tomi cams, Nismo twin plate, HKS dump pipes, into 4” super dragger exhaust, forged 18” alloys, Apexi FC + hand controller, carbon fiber bonnet & wing, Nismo gages, high end ICE, blah , blah blah, dyno’d 313Kw @ all 4. Immaculate inside &out, no scratches/dents – well nothing a good cut n’ polish wont get out.

Thanks for taking the time to let me look over yours, hope you get what you want for it. :teehee::yucky:

Note: Pix are from my phone – so LOW rez crud.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
