Its sad for me to do this, but unfortunately its time to move onto a 4door family car.

it has been my all time favourite Nissan & been in love with the shape since i was 14 (back in early gran turismo days).

I've owned it for the past 3~years (will be 4 years in August) and i am the 3rd owner in Australia (got all import/compliance paperwork from when it came over).

During this time, its undergone major changes & upgrades.

Life started out as an ordinary R34 GT with a 5 speed RB25DE non turbo.

Not long after, i bolted on a turbo kit to it, made 210rwkw @ 1bar, lasted about 1.5years before piston 6 ring land gave up (approx 120XXXkm)

Then came the new motor in 2010, with a rebuilt bottom end.

Engine:

Forged bottom end with CP Pistons 20thou oversize

GTR con rods with ARP studs, balanced

standard crank balanced, and fitted with a crank collar.

head lightly ported on inlet & exhaust sides, cleaned & machined

custom oil drain from the head > sump

ARP head & main studs

ARP race bearings

N1 Oil pump

OEM water pump

oil restrictors

carbing oil catch can

Blitz DD Venturi bov

ACL metal head gasket

ACL metal exhaust manifold gasket & Turbo gasket

600CC highflow injectors (43psi) & 850cc (60psi)

nismo adjustible fuel reg

CPC custom plenum

TD06SL2-20G 10cm turbo

600x300x76mm front mount intercooler with 2.5" end tanks & custom piping, all sprayed black

tial 44mm wastegate mounted on the stock manifold with custom removable screamer pipe (plumb back or atmo)

braided oil & water feed lines

custom 3" V band dump/front pipe (1 piece)

custom 3" metal intake with 3A racing filter

3.5" HKS hi power exhaust

ASI 42mm alloy radiator (4 months old)

carbing cooling panel

(HKS oil cooler *not fitted*)

JJR direct ignition coilpacks

Interior:

Greddy Profec B Spec 2 EBC

STRI turbo timer

jenson single din touch screen DVD player

jaycar 6" speakers front, sony 6" rear

Haltech PS1000 ECU

retrimmed front & rear door cards/quarter panels

nismo gearknob

20/15% tinted windows

Exterior:

OEM GTR front bar/lip, bonnet + hinges & latches

impul racing style side skirts

GTR fibreglass rear wing

6K HIDS

CF weather shields

CF vinyl wrapped pillars

Suspension:

KTS coilovers

Kazama castor rods

new OEM tie rod ends (less then 3000km old)

whiteline adj front sway bar

GTR rear swaybar

rear subframe lower brace (not fitted)

Drivetrain:

R33 GTST brakes with RDA extreme front, bendix standard rear.

R33 GTST shimmed LSD

Exedy Heavy Duty Button clutch

Rota Grids 18x9.5+20 (front) 18x10 +30 (rear)

long black steel lug nuts

brake master stopper

RB20DET gearbox

Rego valid till August 2012, the car has done 25XXX km since the rebuild, and hasn't skipped a beat and still running strong. It is serviced every 5000KM with fully synthetic oil (mobil 1 0w40 for first 10,000km, now switched to Castrol Edge 10w60)

The car has been tuned by Jeremy @ DVS TUNING and pulled 281rwkw @ 18psi - currently surges on anything higher then 18psi - not sure why it does this, tried a anti-surge front cover and it didn't help.

Will come with standard nissan exhaust (with cat) and shocks/springs.

the bad:

- minor chips on bonnet

- marks on front bar when it was hit & run at car park shopping centre

- marks on rear bar when it was hit & run again at car park shopping centre

- deep key mark on driver side door

- minor ding on passenger door & rear quarter from shopping trollies

- steering rack has a minor leak but may be able to supply a 2nd hand rack (pending sale price)

- rear right coilover is knocking (most likely leaking)

- pass headlight is cloudy, its getting on the inside somehow.

price: $16,990 ONO with rota wheels - i can remove parts off the car to make it cheaper. also open to swaps +/- cash for a 4 door.

minus $500 if you want veilside andrew 18x8/18x9 wheels instead.

I'm really considering coming to take a look at this.

Looks pretty mint, You've done a really good job on this.

I'll be in contact mate.

thanks for the comments guys.

its not a typo turboty,

like i said, it started life as a GT (non turbo)

but its got all the turbo running gear in it, the box is a RB20 running redline shockproof Gbox oil with G70 nulon treatment.

forgot my phone #, how silly - 0413544494

price is negotiable and open to swaps!

Wow dude, sucks to see your selling it.

Has been great to see you mould this from an average NA to something extremely unique with power to match.

I know from your early posts that you were extremely passionate about the car and looked after it well.

Hope you find something else you can put your ideas into.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Adam :)

It is sad for me to sell and it will be missed but its time for me to move on to a family car.

forgot to mention that the car is located near Liverpool after hours or Gladesville during business hours.

Cheers

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
