I have owned this car for almost 5 years, bought it virtually stock with an exhaust on it. I have either upgraded almost everything in that time. The only part that still remains since the day I bought it is the front pipe, and even that has been modified. Lots of money and love has gone into this car over the years, I have a folder full of receipts for it. I have only listed the performance mods below; it has also been maintained to a high level. The time has come now to sell the car and buy something a little more family friendly.
If you are looking for a well maintained R32 GTR that you can confidently take to a track day and have fun and drive home in it afterwards then this is probably the car for you. My main goal for the past few years was to build a car that was capable of sustaining a day of driving on the weekend and still be reliable enough to drive to work on Monday. I have only done 3 track days in it, and it has performed great. It is still 2.6L which is why I have the number plate.
The car is also fully capable of running E85 as the fuel system has been upgraded and tuned to suit.
The car drives well, and is a day in day out 350+rwkw car. For those that have ridden in this car can attest that it really is a great fast car. So for a 350+rwkw car on E85 that is reliable the price is $27,999.
This is a fair asking price given the work that has been done to it and money spent on maintenance all up totalling over $35k
