Hi guys - I'll mostly cut & paste my carsales ad here rather than retype everything!

Asking price is $23,250ono - contact me via PM to arrange an inspection! I'm in Templestowe, Vic.

I imported this car in August 2008, but as my fiance and I are now building a house I have to sell my dream car. We have commenced construction and are up to frame stage, asking price has been reduced from $26,500 and negotiable for genuine buyers.

This is a genuine 1997 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR Vspec Series 3 with Japanese stamped service history books (timing belt changed at approx 100,000km) & Australian service record.

The Series 3 GTR was the last and best of the R33 GTRs, and included extra features such as standard Xenon headlights, Series 3 design front lip, Series 3 interior (red stitching and detailing), and importantly - dual airbags. I've given the car a thorough overhaul since owning it, with all receipts from day 1, including the wire transfer for the japanese agent, importing paperwork, compliance paperwork, original RWC, car alarm, maintenance items (new windscreen, new CV boots, new tyres etc).

I have kept my car's engine 100% standard, but there are some extra inclusions:

Nismo front & side clear indicators

Nismo carbon Bpillar cover

Nismo air filter (now replaced by brand new Apexi intake filters, standard intake also provided to buyer))

Nismo GT500 shift knob

Tanabe G-Power Medallion 3" catback exhaust (standard exhaust will be fitted to car for RWC, and this exhaust provided to new owner)

Genuine Ganador electric mirrors

JJR B-pillar floor brace

Original GTR floormats

Apexi boost gauge

Optima Red Top sealed battery

Cobra alarm/keyless/boot release

Panasonic CD/MP3 stereo

As a rare example of an almost standard Series 3 R33 GTR, this car would be ideal daily driver in this state (it has been my daily driver since importing it, and has never missed a beat). If you're an enthusiast, this car is an ideal standard base to add your own modifications. I have just had the 145000km service (start of March 2010) done by Barry Bengay Mechanics in Ringwood, all the car needs for RWC is to change back to the stock exhaust (aftermarket exhaust provided to the buyer) and have the engine bay cleaned and she's good to go - no problem!

Asking the best price for any R33 Series 3 GTR on carsales (the rare Xenon headlights alone are worth $3000 if you can find a seller!), negotiable on price. This car has superb paintwork, smooth as silk, a great future classic that you can drive every day.

The asking price includes RWC by Barry Bengay Motors in Ringwood (who did the original RWC for me August 08) and remaining rego. Can reduce price if you don't want RWC or rego, in which case the car will be sold unregistered (without plates).

Price reduced to $22,500 or best offer. Great price for a clean GTR Series 3 Vspec with records.

Had enough of timewasters from carsales! If you're a serious buyer, contact me.

Also may be interested in a trade+cash for a 4wd wagon (eg wrx, liberty, forester, audi A4 quattro) as my 4WD was written off in the hailstorms, and I can't fit many dogs, bikes or snowboards in my GTR :thumbsup:

having the same problem selling my white series 3 seems no one has money at the moment..

free bump nice looking gtr :worship:

Guys, just have to wait a bit cos it's just that kind of car, there aren't people all over the place looking for these. I just bought one here in Vic, a series 3 also with high k's.

Just need to be a little flexible with the price I think if you want to move it. But don't give it away of course. People get caught up on high k cars and seriously, all the best GTRs I've seen are high k examples, so it tells me that when they're low, they're not real most of the time. I'm acually more attracted to cars with 100K or over cos thet're more likely genuine.

This puppy still for sale? I am looking for one at the moment and may be willing to come down to Vic to pick it up. Any problems with getting it blue slipped here - everything works???

Thanks

Thomas

Don't know about other states, but for a RWC in vic all it would need is an engine bay clean and change back to stock exhaust. Just had it serviced start of march at the same mechanics who did my original RWC in August 08 and they did a quick assessment then.

For interstate buyers, the best way is for me to sell the car without numberplates or RWC, you can get an unregistered vehicle permit from Vicroads to drive the car for 30 days, and re-register in your home state, and I can drop the price another $400 if the car is sold without registration.

Have had a few interstate enquiries recently, whoever leaves a deposit first, has first right to buy the car.

Yep, sold to pete, no more enquiries thanks :cool: Hope you had a good drive back to Adelaide!

Was actually quite sad to see it being driven away yesterday, I don't think you can get a better car for the price - I'm going to buy another one, once this thing below is paid off! (the house, not the van in the driveway!)

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
