We purchased it from japlink motors, when we spoke to sam he said to put 20k on it, but we have found the market slow down this area, and havent advertised yet except on ebay, where we had dreamers and peoples kid brothers bidding. So have put the price low for Quick sale (hopefully).

May trade part payment on an old dual cab ute or 4WD.

Interested, any idea of what sort of power its putting to the wheels? can u give more detail in brands n types of the mods done? thanx mate

Ooh, ill check with Jeff when he gets home, I'm really not that good on the specifics.

The boost control is a PROFEC,

The suspension is TEIN sports spec type HA Driving Master height adjustable. at the moment it's set 90mm off the road at the lowest point of the car.

Thanks for your interest.

Is this thing still for sale? Don't want to swap for a spotless VT Calais 5.7L do you? Calais suspension would be good over the dirt roads.

your details please? location, car transmission would be auto right, we really want a manual. and more details of car. give us a ring if you want.

Here is all the details of the car.

Yes, being a Calais it is auto. With the V8, the auto isn't too bad, it is a great car for daily driving, acceleration/overtaking etc is great. It is basically stock except the exhaust so it sounds a little better. It is fully optioned with leather, sunroof, LSD, 10 stack CD, ABS, traction control, cruise control, power everything etc. It is a fantastic car, hasn't missed a beat since I got it (only 3 months ago), but I miss having a sports car, I used to have an R33 (see my avatar pic) and I miss how much fun it was.

I am located in Picton - NSW Southern Highlands.

If you are interested, and want to contact me - 0411174831 or [email protected]

This car is a fantastic luxury cruiser, looks, goes and handles like an SS, but with the creature comforts of a Calais. Reason for selling is that I find the car a little boring with the auto trans, I want a manual sports car again.

Would prefer swap for R33 GTS-T, will consider VT/VX SS - manual only.

hmm, it isnt really what i was looking for, as if we were to take something like that we would want a cash adjustment, and yours has all the extras to bump the price up so much, also we are same as you, not keen on the autos. But Ill talk to Jeff tonight, see we were offered a VT 1998 calais last week with $5000 cash but didnt want it cuz auto.

just to answer a couple of q's that have been asked:

the car was imported by japlink motors in 2002, we were the first australian owners, but when they brought it over it had the fully worked race motor in it still, and they had hooked up the turbo boost controller backwards and therefore blew up the motor.

They replaced it then with a series 2 motor instead of the series one, which the motor had 40,000kms on. the motor now has about 110,000kms, the car has 136,000 approx.

    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad. 
    • The water pump is know to leak as well. So if the coolant is low checking that first as well as hoses.
