Can always replace a car, just dont think I will ever go into such a big project as I have with the GTR again. Twelve months ago I spent $20,000 on a rebuild of the motor, turbo upgrade, clutch and fuel system.

Alot of procrastinating took place before I replaced the HKS 2530's. I was already making 371rwkw with them, which most would say is plenty.

I got told by many experts that a big single is too laggy. I was tossing up between the T04Z or a custom Garret, but in the end I went with the T88.

I can safely say that is the best decision I have ever made in regards to a modification on a car, and I've had plenty. I have to thank Carl at Racingline for finally telling me to go with the biggest turbo I could get, that the difference in lag would be negligible between the old twins and the 88. How right he was.

But the hit, oh the hit, when it comes on boost is a moment you wont forget.

If anybody is in the same position I was, I recommend you go the T88H-38GK.

You putt around town doing under 5000rpm, drives like a taxi, so streetable my wife drives this car on a regular basis, she wont get in if I'm driving.

She is stunned that I am willing to sell it, I really have no choice, because I told her I would never sell it because I would never again own a car this fast.

Its a 1995 model. My brother was the first owner in Oz and I am the second owner. It was around 2004 when it first landed and was tuned by Ben at Racepace, it made 260rwkw with stock turbos according to a Racepace dyno sheet provided by the importer.

I forgot to add that during the rebuild I put ARP studs through the whole motor, it has a catch can made by Racepace, and I'm sure there are lots of other bits and pieces I have forgotten about

It has Tomei rods and Arias pistons and it is standard cc. ARP head studs and main, Tomei head gasket, GReddy oil pump, I forget which bearings were used but I can find out. Motor was built by Carl ast Racingline in Cheltenham and tuned by Nigel. Highest knock I have seen on the commander is 12, it is a very conservative tune. The motor was fitted to the car November 2006 and I have done 6,000kms since.

HKS step 1 cams and pump gas. Nigel actually entered the car in the Autosalon November 2006 before I even got it back. He was hoping the running in process would be completed before then, he was very confident of seeing over 600rwkw with race fuel and aggresive tune. He tuned Leewahs car that saw 410rwkw on pump gas on the same dyno and 600+ at Salon's dyno.

I have to admit I have no interest in dyno figures other than tuning, I am 45 and a little old school in that how a car actually drives is far more important.

The biggest surprise was the difference between 371rwkw with the 2530's and 450rwkw with the 88. It honestly feel's twice as fast.

Okay, I have an offer of a black R34GTR and cash for my S15 and GTR.

I have quite a few trade and cash offers for my S15, but nothing for my GTR. I only need to sell one car, preferably for cash, but this offer appears to be the best.

If anybody is interested in my GTR and just hanging back, I ask you to make an offer. The R34 has been puschased in Japan and is on its way, here are some pics.

Thankyou

Have you changed the gearbox in it? How does it cope with this kind of power?

I have had zero issues with the box, appears to be coping with the power, whereas the box in my S15 shat itself at 250rwkw and I had to replace it with a PAR engineering box, $5000, and thats been magic ever since.

No longer for sale.

After checking out some of the big dollar GTR's for sale on here, I have come to the conclusion that once you tip over $75,000 into a GTR, you better be prepared to keep it or lose far too much money that wont allow you to sleep soundly again.

The other side is I would/could never build one this fast again, and I know I would miss it every time I hopped into another car.

Thanks for the interest to those who rang.

Happy New Year.

Great choice to keep your GTR Markos.

Unfortunately, many people don't appreciate the amount of quality mods spent on the car and dis-regard them while purchasing a car. I'm sure you'll not regret this decision.

Happy New Year :(
