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)

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
