Item Description: Pearl White 1998 R34 Skyline 25GT-T Sedan

Location: Croydon, VIC.

Kilometers: ~148,000

Item Condition: Excellent

Reason for selling: Importing another daily driver, don't need 3 cars.

Price and price conditions: $15,500 neg. with RWC and Rego. Number plates 'GTT4DR' (GTT Four Door) included in sale price. All inspections will be welcomed. Please bare in mind this car will not be for sale for approx. 2-3 months.

Extra Info:

As you may have seen I'm currently importing a new daily from Japan. As such, my beautiful daily of the past 2.5 years will be for sale in about 2-3 months time. I am the first owner in Australia and I have treated the car very respectfully. Services have been carried out around the 5,000km mark, far earlier than the recommended service interval of 10,000km's. I'm quite pedantic. Currently sitting on ~148,000km's but don't let this deter you. These are genuine km's, not 'wound-back-in-Japan-before-hitting-Australia' km's. The engine runs like a dream, idles beautifully, doesn't use any fluids, etc. Diff is wonderfully quiet, transmission works well. No accident history, beautifully straight car.

Some facts about this car:

2.5L Inline 6cyl Turbo (RB25DET Neo) - Engine is stock. Plenty of power but potential for plenty more if desired.

Automatic with steering wheel and tiptronic shift

Very rare factory Pearl White. This is not common. Most white R34's are not pearl. This is a limited edition colour. Paint is shiny and in excellent condition.

Rare factory Nismo Lip Kit (it's plastic, not fiberglass)

Nismo Clear front and side indicators

Electronic Folding Mirrors

Factory HID headlights

Driving Lights

De-winged

Privacy Glass

Excellent condition interior

Traction Control

ABS

4 Wheel Steering (damn easy to park)

Old-school turbo timer (as old as the car hehe)

Factory dash gauge-pod

Digital Climate Control

Factory weather-shields

Factory floormats

Fujitsubo stainless steel turbo-back exhaust

Nismo lowered springs

Stock Wheels in good condition

Carbon fiber-look pillar trims

JVC CD/MP3 headunit. The cool thing about the R34 - no external aerial, it's built into the rear windscreen :P

Fire Extinguisher

Massive boot

Timing belt was changed at 98,000km's. Due again at roughly 200,000km's.

Items replaced in my ownership aside from service items:

*Brand new genuine rear hub assembly

*Brand new genuine A & B shift solenoids

*Brand new Iridium Spark Plugs

Any negatives? Not many. Just cosmetic.

One crack at the of each side-skirt. The de-wing job in Japan wasn't that great. Small rust bubbles on bootlid and indentations where the wing sat. Either fix and respray or replace the bootlid - both options around the $300 mark. I never got around to bothering to fix them as they didn't annoy me that much. Has none of the common rust that the majority of R34's suffer on the rear end.

Thanks for that. Indeed, not many stock examples around these days. It'll be a little sad to put her up for a sale in a few months as she's been the most reliable car I've ever owned, but time to move on.

No worries. My Cubic hasn't left Japan yet so realistically this car will be available for sale in ~2 months time. In the meantime it'll get another service >_<

I'll also endeavour to get some better photos of the whole car (inside and out) closer to the time I'm ready to sell.

Your car is 100% sex on wheels! It's gorgeous!

You guys are right don't find to many Skylines let alone R34's that haven't been molested by a P plater (I'm allowed to say that cos I am a P Plater). It's a shame really because they seem reliable cars.

My boyfriend was looking at Skylines before he got his (Mitsubishi) FTO and they were all screwed.....and I discounted Skylines when I was first looking for a car to replace my BMW, cos there is very few that aren't screwed....same with FTO's unless you get a good example you're asking for trouble.

What's with the Nissan Cube though??? They're little boxes

  • 2 weeks later...

The Cube's landed in Sydney, I'd be hoping it's complianced and on the road end of this month/start of next month. I'll be putting the car in for another service just before I put the car up for sale. So early October should work for me :action-smiley-069:

  • 4 weeks later...

Getting a bit closer to being ready for sale now as my other car is nearly here.

Service booked in for next week, I'll probably spend all of next weekend thoroughly cleaning her and I'll get some new photos and a new thread up once she's ready.

You've still got another couple of weeks before I start aggressively advertising it (Carsales.) My Cube should be registered next week, I'll give it another week and at that point if there's minimal interest on forums I'll put it up on Carsales. You'd be welcome to inspect and test drive it next week.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
