Firstly let me just say that this is an awesome car worth every cent of the asking price. The work carried out and mods are top notch.

I do have one question....I've read a lot of articles on this car as I have been in the skyline game for a fair while now and it has appeared in many a magazine. In one such article I'm pretty sure that I read this car was a nuts and bolts rebuild using only genuine GTR parts but using a gtst chassis...can anyone confirm or deny this?

it's a damn nice car. I dunno if I personally would pay $120K for it, but I don't doubt that they would have spent more than that building it. as for it being "re vinned as a GTR" not possible. it's a GTS. I can't be "re-vinned" there is no such thing.

hmmm there are alot of cars u can get for 120k

think the gold top secret went for less that was years ago and that was genuine GTR etc...

my 2cents

The gold R33 was not an actual Top Secret demo car - And was sold for mid $90k around 4 years ago from memory.

It has been sold again since as most people know, thought for around half the price.

Your correct though - $120k buys you a LOT of car these days.

funny enough theres alot of "mystery" about that car, which is very political.

i can say i would spend 120k on a non genuine, dont care how much is spend

alot of "clean " mods should raise the price on a quality car but there is a limit

this quote is off their webpage

Q: What are the bits and pieces you put in this car?


A: Take one 1997 V Spec GT-R completely strip, take one 1993 GT-R race car and remove it's engine, coolers etc. Take one 1994 GTS4 completely strip. Mix them all together and bake for 620 hours.

who in their right minds would pay that much for a skyline?

i could have a bright red horse sitting in the drive way for that price and guaraneed it would pull a better breed of philly!

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
