Hi everyone, pretty much testing the waters here with my GT-R. I've recently been put on good driving behaviour and I'm just not able to enjoy it like I would if I had a full deck of cards.

If it sells, it sells. If not, I'll keep it in the garage and bring it out on the odd occasion over the next 12 months!

So, about the car this car is an ex MINES car, it came over from japan riddled with mines goodies, some of them still remain on the vehicle. The chassis and sills are very straight - those of you who have tried to buy GT-R's know that this isn't commonplace. The cleanliness of the car coupled with the build quality are what attracted me to it, it is honestly a good example!

The car has done just over 83,500km and it has proven to be an extremely reliable and dependable machine. I recently took it to Sydney from Brisbane and it didn't miss a beat. The same deal on the way back!

Onto the mods - there are undoubtedly more, but I can't remember them all. I'll add more as I remember.

RB26 built motor

Tomei 272 cams

Tomei Adjustable cam gears

Titanium valve springs

6Boost manifold

Turbosmart 50mm Pro gate

Garret 30/76 with .82 A/R rear housing

Custom dump pipe

Screamer pipe (sounds absolutely incredible)

Trust stainless exhaust

ID1000CC injectors

ProFlow fuel rail with AN fittings

New twin plate clutch

SARD Fuel pressure regulator

Walbro in tank E85 compatible pump

Haltech Flex Sensor

Oil filter relocation with AN fittings

Catch can - accumulates NO oil at all

Haltech Platinum Pro ECU

Haltech IQ3 racepak dash - monitor Oil temp, ECT, Ethanol percentage, Gear indicator, RPM, speed, tons of other stuff!

Cusco Safety 21 6 point roll cage

Tomei steering wheel - rare

Ohlins coilovers - rebuilt last year with sheets/graphs (can't remember the full details)

New Cross drilled and slotted rotors

New Project MU brake pads

Panasport G7 11.5x18" wheels

Carbon fibre air guide

Carbon fibre B-pillars

Carbon fibre door inserts

Carbon fibre fuse box cover

Kenwood head unit

Kenwood speakers and tweeters

Amp in the boot

The car is tuned to 460 all wheel horsepower on 19 PSI with E85, there's more left in it. Want even more? Put a larger turbo on it! The car is EXTREMELY responsive, more so than the N1's I had on my last GT-R. The hit is hard and it it screams when it hits gate, it honestly sounds like the gates of hell are opening up and attempting to swallow you. Brilliant. On idle, it's extremely lumpy and menacing, but quiet enough to drive around in an unassuming fashion. This is a fantastic GT-R that is set up perfectly for the street and would be fantastic on the track, too. It handle's really well.

During street driving even with a spirited drive, temps never go north of 82*c, during a regular drive, temps stay around 79*. I'd expect these to climb on track obviously, but I'm confident that the cooling system is A-OK.

At the present stage, the front section of the cage is out of the car, as are the rear seats. These will either be included, or reinstalled at the time of sale.

There are plenty more mods on this car that I am forgetting. It's really is a pleasure to drive. Now for some pics....

I apologise, I don't have a decent camera and I haven't had a photoshoot with it yet. These will have to do for now.[/size][/font][/color]

That's about it for now. Like I said, I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but I can add more detail later if and when it comes to me.

$33,000

I'm happy for this thing to stay in my garage. Keep that in mind before you enquire. Please only enquire if you are a genuine buyer with finances taken care of. I have no time for tyre kickers and I'm in no rush to sell the car, so I won't entertain idiots.

The car is located in Brisbane and I can be contacted (via text first) on 0401029817.

Cheers!

Will consider trades + cash for a modern supersports bike (GSXR 750 or a litre bike), or POSSIBLY another jap car and cash my way.

I'm also negotiable, so don't be afraid to make an offer. What I was saing in regards to being happy to keep it so don't waste your time was to weed out the idiots who offer me 14k...

Cheers.

I'd like this thing sold so I can buy a bike to commute on for when university starts up again.

I'm reluctantly dropping the price.

$28,000

Worth noting that the turbo is a GTX, not a GT. New 19 row oil cooler just fitted, too.

The vehicle will now be coming with GENUINE BRIDE Ergo II seats.

Price is negotiable people! I want the car gone before semester starts if possible.

Bike + cash, daily + cash considered, too.

The Bride seats may be replaced with stock seats at the time of sale. I prefer the stock seats so I have the brides listed for sale.

I'd love to see this gone prior to my next semester at uni starting, so I'm dropping the price again to $25,000. This is getting a tad silly.

Please only genuine enquiries. 0401029817 is the way to contact me.

Some pics of the rails.

Cheers mate! If my XR8 sells and I can buy a bike in time for semester to ease my commuting costs, the GT-R will likely be kept. I LOVE it and I had an absolute ball in it at the last SAU happy laps.

I'd like to learn how to steer it better if fate sees me keeping it.

Here is a video of it at lakeside. For reference, that blue R32 GT-R has 700 awhp.

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
