So a few financial things & other stuff has come up, so I am looking at selling my GTR :-(

1992 model, Silver, nice clean well looked after car. I bought it last November off the first Australian owner who got it in 2001. Always garaged, mild mods include:

*Rebuilt steel wheel turbos

*Height & damper adjustable coilovers, (with spanner. I can't see manufacturer/brand)

*Adjustable upper arms & caster rods

*Stainless mandrel exhaust

*Front & rear whiteline strut braces

*Small amp in boot, decent speakers under standard covers

*Diff & gearbox oil changed just before I got it, as well as Hicas pump overhaul

Since I've owned it I've had the following done (with receipts)

*Full Timing Belt kit done with genuine Nissan parts

*Front drive shafts redone, with 4 new boots

*New brake fluid, braided brake lines

*Complete air con system redone, including compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver, new oil, new gas, new lines made up.

*Radiator was out so was cleaned out and new coolant put in.

It has almost 214000kn on it, but they are genuine, not an ebay replacement cluster! It's as clean as the GTR I owned back on 2000, which had 89000km on it....

I know this may sound like BS, but the original (middle aged) owner lost his 13 year history of the car when he moved house. After talking with him & his wife for over an hour, and just looking at the car, I can 100% believe that it has been looked after & regularly maintained & serviced.

His reason for sale was he had bought himself a much more practical Mazda 3, and had a Tarago for the wife & family, so he just didn't drive it anymore. I could only buy it if I promised 'not to hot rod it' hahaha....

I am a spray painter, so I know what & where to look, and for a 22 year old car, it's got a pretty good body. Garaged it's whole Aussie life, it does have some car park marks, but no big rust or crash damage. 2 small spots of rust, 1 under the side of the front screen rubber, 1 under the rear screen rubber. Clean overall, on top & underneath. Heaps of tyre tread, rear discs & pads will need to be done soon.

Interior is pretty good too, no holes or bubbles in the dash, all vents work, good seats, nice original steering wheel, tinted windows, old school cd player, alarm, separate immobilizer, crack in drivers door panel where your elbow goes. It comes with the original am/fm cassette player, plug in for Nissan diagnostics thing, English glove box handbook and a printed 400+ page workshop manual.

If you're looking for a nice clean GTR that has all the annoying stuff sorted and done, and are genuinely interested, call me and come check it out. Rego is due 22 April.

I'll put $20,000 on it, please no low ball offers, and no swaps. (unless you've got $15k and something that's good to drive, manual, with air con, like an mx5, Clio sport, Golf gti, s13)

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
