OTHER INFO: Up for sale is my VT II Berlina 5.7, which is in almost excellent condition for its model.

I cannot fault the car on anything really but below I will put up it's minor blemishes that people could pick up on if they viewed the car..

Bad Points:

1) The boot has what looks like very very minor hail dents (maybe up to 5 or 6) that you can see when its washed and looking from a certain angle.

2) Previous owner had a push bike handle bar put a little mark and dent next to the RH tail light where it meets the quarter panel. 20c piece size

Like I said, they are nothing really but these are all factored into the price and why I have not put EXCELLENT condition in this sales ad.

Good points:

EVERYTHING else about the car is brilliant and works like new. The GenIII motor does not have the oil problem that some had or it was recalled and fixed by Holden. Either way the engine runs PERFECT and does not miss a beat. NOT ONE LEAK anywhere in engine bay or under carriage. Uses 10.5L fuel in city traffic and a recent drive to Newcastle got 9.3L on highway.

I previously owned a VZ SS 5.7 and myself and family have all mentioned how much smoother this VT is mechanically. Paint is perfect and has zero fade. Drives great with no noises or vibrations.

I personally believe this car is easily on par with the power of my dyno tuned VZ SS 6SP which has 243rwkw. I don't know if this VT has had a tune in the past but it has alot of grunt and sounds pretty tough.

Modifications:

* SS Inductions Growler kit

* FOX 18" black wheels with red walls

* King Spring Super Lows all round

* 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 exhaust (No extractors)

* Complete VX Calais suede/cloth seats and door trims with working driver & passenger 8 way electric seats.

* Brand new water pump with built in thermostat (2 weeks ago)

* Pioneer head unit with USB/MP3

* Heavy duty detachable towbar

Safety:

* Has factory fitted driver passenger airbags and side impact airbags in the seats.

This car will not disappoint on inspection and is an excellent daily driver or weekend cruiser. I have done plenty of long trips in hot and cold weather and it has not let me down.

Earlier this year I moved out of my apartment and I towed a full trailer, with full boot and filled the interior cabin up with all my belongings (on current springs) and it went from Sydney to Bargo without a problem.

My thread won't let me edit my ad, but the SS GROWLER INDUCTION is NOT included just to be clear. It belongs to a mate and was just the only engine pic I had and it's no longer fitted!

Will take $6500 no less. Already going well under what I paid and the car is in better condition since I bought it.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
