Unfortunately, I am selling my Black genuine 1997 GT-R R33 V-spec series 3. I bought the car in Sydney 3 years ago with the following modifications done by Powerplay Imports by the original owner. They spent over $15,000 on modifications and maintenance (including 100,000kms service) and I have the receipts for this and all other work done.
The asking price is $19,000 ono. RWC not included, Rego till Dec 2013.

HISTORY ABOUT THE CAR
The original owner bought the car stock in Australia from an import yard and soon after having it sent it to Powerplay Imports to get some work done. They took the engine out and overhauled it and put on the above modifications (pics of the engine bay are from when Powerplay import did the work).The original owner spent over $15,000 on the upgrades. After all the modifications were performed the car was sent to Tune House and got a reading of 290 rwkw, at the rear wheels at 1.2 bar of boost. The second owner I bought it off got it re-dynoed IS Motor Racing and it achieved 243.8 rwkw (1.2 bar) on a hub dyno, which apparently is known to have low readings.
This car has been garaged and driven minimally for the entire time I have had it. It currently has 102,000kms, and I have put less than 20,000kms on it in 3+ years. About 4 months after I bought the car I was pinned by the cops for a full EPA. So I converted everything back to stock which includes;
Stock: Fuel Pump, Injectors, ECU, Fuel Pressure regulator, Boost Controller etc, basically everything needed to pass the EPA.
The car is still in this condition, so it currently has the following standard components fitted to the car: ECU, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator.
MODS that are currently on the car are: -5 turbos, exhaust, cam gears, boost controller and pod filters, suspension are still in place.
I still have all the modified parts, and I had the intention of putting the parts back on and re-tuning it however I just never got around to it.
After I passed the EPA, I realised the head gasket (Nismo head gasket fitted when the engine was overhauled), has a very slight seepage problem, apparently these head gaskets are known to have seepage problems.
When driving the car I have noticed no difference in temperature, or oil pressure and the car drives fine. All I've noticed is a small amount of oil seeping into the coolant. I would love to be able to fix the head gasket and get back to spec but unfortunately I don’t have money or motivation to do so.
If you would like any more photos or information or have any questions please PM me.
