I have come to a very well thought threw decision to re home my pride and joy GTR. I searched high and low Australia wide for this amazing example of the famous GTR and I have no doubt it is one of the best if not the best in Tasmania with out sounding anal this car is a must see.

I would like to note this car is an expression on interest only sale at this stage as I am not letting it go until early February and I will only sell for the right price.

The car has had a lot of rubbers, door trims etc replaced in the 2004 rebuild in Japan and feels like a new car, no squeeks or rattles at all.

Having owned a few GTRs through the years this is without a doubt, by far the best build and performing GTR I have had, hence not too fussed if it sells.

The car was originally gunmetal grey before the owner of it then in Japan did a ground up rebuild of the car in 2004. It was resprayed a metallic factory color wine red but with lots of pearl and the engine bay was sprayed a stark white, maybe to show off the engine or to show up leaks and issues a lot easier.

This chap worked at Nissan in Japan and so had access to many new parts for the GTR and is why you'll find a lot of the seals and small plastic parts are like new as well as a lot of engine bay components.

Basically from there he dropped in the new motor and turbos with most of the listed supporting mods, the only mods added in Australia were the injectors, adjustable cam gears and the boost gauge.

A bloke well known in the NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owner Club) association imported it for himself in 2005 and owned it for a little over a year, taking it to a few show n shines and concourse events.

I have always kept it garaged and drive it on the very rare occasion and only on a clear and dry day.

Fastidiously maintained, never parked at shopping centres or with general cars as it has not one dent.

Oil services have always been done every 5,000kms, quite often less and always with a new filter.

Only 2,500kms ago I changed ALL fluids, gear box, front and rear diffs, engine oil + new oil filter and fuel filter. Also flushed the radiator and refilled with coolant.

While I have owned it I installed kill switches, relocated the battery to the boot and installed a quality custom catch can with braided hosing and speed flow fittings. Completely stripped the hicas and installed a hicas lock bar for improved handling. Installed a 2wd / AWD switch, I also purchased a professionally polished plenum and highly polished engine covers (Looks amazing, all appropriated gaskets and seals were replaced also).

Modification list below:

:: Engine ::

- Brand NEW R33 RB26DETT N1 Engine, only done 50,000kms

- Brand NEW R34 N1 Twin Turbos, same mileage as new engine

- Greddy adjustable Cam Gears

- Sard 800cc Injectors

- HKS Drag Intercooler (600x300x100mm tube & fin design) 3" Inlet / Outlet

- Custom 3" Intercooler Piping

- Custom 3.5" mandrel Exhaust System from turbos to 4.5" rear muffler - Amazingly subdued off boost but sounds great on full boost, very angry and tough. System is quiet easy on the ears as well with zero drone.

- Oil cooler with air guide and remote oil filter for easy replacement

- Custom Catch Can, braided hosing and speedflow fittings

- Twin Apexi Pod Filters

- Apexi Power FC ECU (tuned by Ben @ Racepace VIC on 20psi = 322awkw )

:: Drive Train / Brakes ::

- Hicas totally stipped, NEW hicas lock bar fitted

- Jim Berry Full Monty single plate carbonetic clutch, 3600lbs pressure plate matched to an R31 Fly Wheel, beautiful clutch, never had it slip on me once with current power level and operates almost like a standard clutch in terms of pedal heaviness and drive ability in traffic.

- VSpec 2 Brembo front calipers with Lockheed rotors and pads, standard rear calipers and rotors / pads, pulls up exceptionally well, feels like your eyeballs will pop out and its still got more in it before the ABS even kicks in!

- Teflon braided brake lines

:: Suspension / Bracing / Wheels ::

- Tein Coilovers, adjustable stiffness and dampening

- 11 structural bracing bars:

--- 2 Front & Rear Strut Braces

--- 1 Interior Cabin Brace (per image)

--- 4 Front & Rear Guard Braces (1 under each guard running lengthwise)

--- 1 Brace underneath near rear of engine / front of gearbox

--- 1 Mid trans tunnel Brace connecting either side of the tunnel

--- 2 Rear subframe Braces (1 each side)

- Volk Racing CE28N 17 x 9 Forged Monoblock lightweight Wheels (includes VR Duraluminium wheel nuts and VR valve caps) This combination of stiffness and grip makes for a very flat and stable cornering attitude with great response from the tyres under braking, cornering and acceleration.

- 90% tread on tires all round 255 width

:: Exterior / Interior ::

- Lightweight fibreglass bonnet

- Aerocatch Bonnet Pins (lockable)

- N1 Side Skirts & Vents in front bar

- Momo Race Steering Wheel

- GTR carbon fibre Gear Knob

- Apexi EL2 Mechanical Boost Gauge

- Nismo 320kmph Speedometer

- Kenwood CD / MP3 head unit with what looks like standard speakers front & back - Fire extinguisher mounted to rear cabin brace

- Original Nissan GTR floor mats front & back with the original flare case in the front passengers foot well

- Original Nissan GTR front & rear seats in excellent, nearly as new condition - bolsters still all firm & solid, top of rear seats are not faded like nearly all other R32s are.

- All dash & trim in excellent condition with all accessories, gauges & lights fully functional - heater & aircon work as good as the day it rolled off the factory floor.

This car would suit even the fussiest buyer, this GTR is almost faultless.

Nil oil leaks.

6mths Tasmanian Registration just paid for.

Car is currently in storage but I can arrange viewing of this car by appointment to seriously interested people.

Absolutely no time wasters, dreamers or joy riders.

Will help with interstate transport if needed.

$26,500 ono

What a beautiful car; I'd be heartbroken to let something like this go...

I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding it a home.

Thanks for the comments guy, it will be a very very sad sale but sometimes something has to give unfortunately. I just hope it gets respected and treated right, like it has been all its life so a quality and well maintained GTR can still be sourced in years to come.

Price drop.. $25,500.. Motivated seller.. Amazing GTR through out and had the money spent in the right areas !! Can arrange a HD video of the car inside and out for interested parties.. !!

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
