For sale is my 1998 Nissan ER34 Nissan Skyline GT-T, White Automatic Coupe 135,###KM's.

First of all i will tell you a bit about myself as the seller. My name is Chris, I am a qualified mechanic and have worked in the performance car industry at one of the highest renowned workshops in Australia for 5 years in total and am currently still there. The shop is Called Nizpro Turbocharging and we specialize in turbocharged car aftermarket products and Tuning. We predominantly do XR6 Turbo's these days however i have a lot of experience (and am more passionate) with Nissan's. I have owned a few skylines over the last 5 years ranging from stock to a modified 650HP GTR, every one of them has been treated and maintained with the same passionate attitude. Every car that i have owned only gets genuine Nissan service and maintenance parts, yes they cost a lot more then aftermarket stuff but the quality is far superior resulting in vehicle longevity and enjoyable use with no annoying rattles, vibrations or knocks.

This vehicle is suitable for someone who is new to Japanese imports and may be concerned as they dont know what to look for in a car as it has genuinely had every single piece of maintenance dont to it to allow you to have years of headache free enjoyment.Being a mechanic, it enables me to replace items before they are actually worn out, resulting in some of the best maintained vehicles on the road, I am also full time at my workshop so if you ever have questions or would like after sale support i am more then happy to help. I still have my old skylines that the owners bring to me to service.
Now about the Skyline. I Sold my GTR to fund an overseas trip that i returned from mid 2013. I came home and purchased my best mates Nissan Stagea for its practicality, then I wanted to make a fast street car and the Stagea simply weighed to much so i decided to purchase another Skyline. I found this one for sale and finalized a deal and it was mine for $9,500 with NO RWC and about 4 weeks registration left on it. It needed new brakes on the front and a few minor issues addressed before i could even get a road worthy on it.

Very shortly after I got it and was able to drive it at correct operating temperature i very quickly noticed that the previous mechanic who did the timing belt and water pump at 100,000km's obviously was no good as he tensioned the timing belt incorrectly. This did not cause any damage at all, however it makes an RB25det have a whine once the engine gets to operating temperature and the timing belt tension changes, If this was an average person who owned the car they would now have known and it would have resulted in premature timing belt failure = throw your engine in the bin. So at approx 125,000kms I pulled the engine down, replaced the timing belt with brand new OEM belt and new idler bearing and tensioner bearing, i confirmed at this time that the engine has a new water pump on it also.

Aftermarket Stuff:
+Turbo back exhaust with split dump pipe, high flow cat, Stainless center and rear muffler, this exhaust is deeper then standard but still very easily under the EPA requirements.
+ Genuine NISMO S-Tune Suspension, retail this suspension is well over $2,500 landed from Japan. IMO its the best suspension you can buy because it lowers the car approx 30mm from standard, his moderatly stiffer spring rates to improve cornering and the best part is that it IS NOT a coil-over setup so it is totally LEGAL.
+Sony Double DIN cd player

This vehicle has had every piece of Maintenance done in the last 3 months so it is one of those genuine opportunities to buy a car and not have to worry about expensive maintenance, just a regular service is all it needs. In the last 3 months (appx 10,000km's)

-Rear standard rotors, Brand new Bendix Ultimate pads will be fitted upon vehicle sale.

There is other maintenance im sure i have forgotten. So a bit more about the car, I originally purchased with the intention of converting it to a manual and the modifying it, i purchased a written off Manual R34 and had absolutely everything here ready to do the conversion but then the more i drove the Electronically controlled Tiptronic automatic the more i fell in love it. It is genuinely a fantastic box and a lot of fun the drive through the hills with. So it has remained an Automatic. Since then my objectives have changed with my car (am after 800+ HP) and i realized that to obtain that out of an RB25 takes a LOT of work and money so i am going down a different path and going to start with a Toyota Supra. This is a genuine reason for sale, simply a financially better way for me to obtain a high HP number. I can personally assure you that this Skyline has never had more boost put into it, never had a boost controller or an aftermarket ECU. I put it on the Dyno at work to check its health and it made 160RWKW on the standard 6psi of boost. all can be seen in the dyno graph. We usually see standard skylines on standard boost making between 140-150RWKW so i was extremely impressed with the engines health.

The only bad points on the car are that

-the paint work needs attention. The front bar needs to be re-sprayed and the clear coat is flaked on the drivers side door in 2 little spots about the size of a 5c piece each, Neither of these are a big issue but im kind of anal so they were always things I intended on having fixed.

-The interior needs a steam clean. The actual condition of the seats and trim are very good, unfortunately as i am a mechanic i am kinda dirty some times after work. I am %100 certain that the interior will clean up mint after a good clean.

-Headlights could do with a polish on the inside. They are still plenty bright enough but again, i like things being mint so i was always going to get them either polished or just replace them with new ones.

I am pricing the car with a few things in mind. The original purchase price less then 6months ago i still feel was below average price, since then i have put well over $3,000 worth of maintenance into this on a retail level and over $2,000 worth of suspension with is very desirable in the aftermarket. The car will be sold WITH a RWC and for the asking price will come with REG until DECEMBER 2014. The critical sale point on this vehicle is its UN-equaled maintenance, it is perfect for anyone who wants a pain free introduction to the Japanese sports car world with the guarantee that they will not have a bad experience and also has the choice of a dependable after sales service avenue at discounted rates.

Price w/RWC and 11months Reg is $12,000. Located VIC South East suburbs.
