vic 1998 Nissan Skyline 25GT-T Manual

Shoujiki · April 9, 2021

The time has come to move my pride & joy on. I have been the proud owner of this vehicle since 2011 and during that time it has given me immense joy, knowledge and experience. When I first looked for a Skyline in 2011, there were many on the market, some better than others. It took me months to find the one that fit my requirements and presented as a well-preserved example. It had the desirable extras, the Altia body kit, some bolt on performance stuff and paint that was still in immaculate condition.

It’s journey over my time of ownership has been one of soul stirring affection. As anyone who has owned a Skyline knows, the cars connection to the driver is total and complete. You feel immersed in the driving experience, it is you and the machine. This example is no different, and I have enjoyed the experience of ownership for the 10 years I’ve had the car.

The KM on this car are genuine and the vehicle certainly presents that way. The paint is fantastic, it’s clean, straight and has no rust whatsoever anywhere. All modifications to the vehicle are done using only the best parts and are of course, reversible, no modification has been made to the structure or body, and no repairs have been done. All items listed are bolt on in nature and can be changed or reversed to whatever the owner desires. It would make a fantastic car to enjoy just as a GT-T is supposed to be, or a platform for larger things, where the groundwork has been done and the platform is straight, solid and complete.

I have always worked on the car myself, and can attest to the quality and workmanship and can answer any question about any part of the car. The only time it has been in the hands of someone else is for a wheel alignment, and with Trent, who tuned the Nistune ECU at Chequered Tuning. It comes with full dyno sheets showing boost, AFR, power etc.

This vehicle has a lot of genuine Nissan GTR parts installed, including the MFD, GTR pedal set, GTR floor mats and the genuine GTR rear spoiler. It has carbon JUN style wing stands installed, however it does come with colour matched stock stands also. The MFD has brand new plastics and fascia and had a new screen installed when I procured it.

The seats are Bride LowMax and sit the driver perfectly for sports driving. They of course can be swapped to the stock seats too (comes with the car). It has the battery (Optima Red Top) relocated to the boot to make way for the fabricated Race Pace oil catch can. It has the A’pexi Power Intake fitted currently and can of course be swapped to the mint condition factory airbox with A’pexi High Flow Panel Filter installed.

In the last 10 years, I have put 20k km’s on the car, so it hasn’t seen a lot of driving and has always been fully garaged and covered when not in use. Oil has always been changed regularly (~3000km or so) with Castrol Edge Titanium 10w60 fully synthetic.

In the interior on the passenger side of the dash, you will find an Under Suzuki S15 time attack sticker, it is personally signed by Keiichi Tsuchiya, Nobuteru Taniguchi, Tarzan Yamada.

Also, on the quarter window, you will find a special Tsukuba Circuit decal, that can only be obtained from visiting the circuit itself in Japan.

First buyer to see this car will fall in love with it and will see the quality, workmanship and time that has gone into this tasteful example of what a GT-T can be.
