Sadly I am looking to sell my GT-R....

When I bought this car I searched and searched for "the perfect R32 GT-R" it took ages! and finally I found this example that had been treated well since new!!! previous owner was 45yrs old, and like myself wasnt short of a dollar when it came to spending it on the car.....

Reasons to sell what is clearly the best road car I have ever driven?

- I am hardly home with my work, and the car doesn't get the use it deserves (14k in 2.5 years)

- I run a professional race team during my time off which is consuming all my spare time!

- my old man has done the last 3k on the car! and I am sick of buying fuel for him!!!

Why buy this car instead of the "really cheap 15k GT-R I just saw"?

- well once you ask around, good GT-R's are very rare indeed.... ask real people in the know!

CRD, BEL GARAGE, guys on here that have been around for ages like duncan,blitz,morgs etc etc etc...

I am sure I have forgotten some of the things done to this car to make it 1000% reliable, it was treated as a limitless budget build up, with most of the $$$ spent on making the car driveable at all levels, and not on outright HP... sure there are cars with more power etc etc but how many can stop handle and drive in traffic? I could let my grandfather out in this car, and have no worries as it is just a doddle to drive around town....but then it will tear your head off if you ramp up the throttle %.....

PRICE:- PRICE DROP!!!!!

$39,500

Thanks guys, yes it is for sale, but not at a bargain basement price....

I have no real reason to sell (financially I'm hardly doing it hard!!) that is part of the reason this car can stay or go.... I'm not fussed, as it has been built to be trouble free for a very very long time...

my only real reason is that its a shame to have it locked up so much (garaged like a museum peice) as it really should be driven... and maybe there is someone dying for the perfect GT-R....

anyhow some more pics below for those that asked....

note the apexi valve controller in centre of rear seats....

G'day Ben,

Nice car I have seen this car/bumped into you a couple of times at BEL - surprised your selling it!

This maybe a stupid question but what does that Apexi valve controller do?

Good luck with sale!

Yeah I wake up and think why sell also??? but then I see how little I drive it, and if someone else will drive it more and get something out of it, all the better... but I am in no hurry to sell it to just anyone for some cut price etc etc...

so whats the Apexi?

well its a butterfly valve that goes in the exhaust that when open, doesnt restrict the flow of exhaust gasses etc.... but then when you want to shut the car up to stock Db levels.... just pull it closed .... simple! so very police friendly or neighbour friendly if required...

and doesnt cut Hp...

the exhaust was made by mark at exhaust technology in south australia.... mark spent 2-3 days getting it right, and even scrapped the first one as a development! it sounds rather good!

if you have heard the MINES GT-R I would say it has that ring about it...

twins are hard to get right! and mark has done the job here!!!

back home now, so I will be replying to PMs and emails...

Sorry mate not looking to swap as I don't really need a car at all currently!!! its hard enough for me to FIND time to drive this one!!! but if you sell yours, Im more than happy to sell the GT-R to you :thumbsup:

LOL well i am trying to sell mine but no luck yet and i think it will be a while because its a very slow market. Hot car though and i hop mine goes

So if anyone asked me what the best view in ADL would get you? It'd prob be a hotel room in the Hyatt, on the exec floors.

Tell you what though, reality sets in REAL QUICK when you get a ride in this car.

You're in the market for a GTR? Daily? Track car? Either way - you'd be mad not to consider this car.

Ben - Mate, I think you're a lunatic for dropping the price like this. Given the current climate, perhaps its hard to sell a car because everyone is struggling to put their money to gether, and perhaps too poor to buy a decent R32 GTR and would rather buy one that will explode in 2000km? Tell you what mate, if I was in the market for one again, you'd have the cash in your account YESTERDAY - its the perfect compromise between track monster that'll outperfom 99% of cars here, and reliable daily driver that'll again, outlive 99% of cars for sale here.

Tough to prove it though, its like nobody on here has enough cash to buy a decent car, they seem all hung up oin buying pieces of shit instead :)

not to rain on your parade buddy but not everybody has a budget of around 40g's to blow on a car, this car is a beautiful example of a no expense spared R32 GT-R, clearly an enthusiast has put in the time and effort to put it together and nor should it or would it be sold to anyone that didn't appreciate it the same way... if your refering to the cheaper cars on the market when you say "PIECES OF SHIT"...... everybody has to start somewere and good on them for choosing skyline for there choice of car... :)

cheers sneddy.

Completely agree buddy, $40k isn't an easy sum to come up with. Is it worth it? Hell yeah, but when people stick $20k on their GTR and cant get it, a $40k buyer more than likely isnt going to fall in your lap the first day its for sale.

Anyway I dont want to clog your thread up with crap as it is a stunning car that anyone on here would envy owning. Its just sad that people have to degrade others that perhaps dont have the financial luxuries of others.

GL with the sale :banana:

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
