HISTORY:

This car was imported in early 2005 by a US serviceman who had been out in Japan for the previous 15 years. He bought it from a relative/friend who was the original owner and therefore knew the cars history from new.

This car was never wrecked and has a clean history. I recently removed the front wings to check the condition of the inner wings and chassis – (the small amount of surface rust – (discolored paint mostly) was removed, treated and repainted, before refitting the wings I took a couple of photos to demonstrate how straight it is – see below).

The current spec is as follows

ENGINE:

Had TWO New R-33 turbos fitted and up rated with steel turbine wheels and 360 degree bearings, safe to 1.4 bar plus of boost

Aftermarket Air intakes and Filters – has had original equipment removed and replaced by a custom silicone and alloy piping kit (done by an approved BP dealer) that removed the need for MAFs.

Aftermarket large Intercooler with full Aluminum Piping Kit – all the old flexi piping was replaced with silicone

Hard Pipe kit from Turbo outlet to intercooler

New Timing Belt was fitted at 97k currently 122k

GREDDY PROFEC B BOOST controller set to STD 0.8 and high - 1.35

Full 4” Stainless Steel Kakimoto Race Exhaust System - Down pipe, De-Cat, Straight pipe, and back Pipes, Includes a spare catalytic converter. In addition I had a custom made bung done that cuts down more noise and flows more gas than the standard Kakimoto bung.

This is what she sounds like :-

Oil vapor scavenge box - prevents waste crank case gasses reentering the intake

APEXI D JETRO POWER FC – mapped to 680cc injectors and 1.35 bar boost – originally done by engine advantages – tweaked by APT – has had the MAF sensors removed from the equation as they restricted the air flow

680CC INJECTORS (444cc standard)

In the last 9000 miles, ALL fluids have been changed - gearbox, transfer box – front and rear axles etc.. Engine oil/filter has been done 4x times – plugs have been replaced 3x times

RAYS VOLK RACING alloys - fitted with 255/40R/17” tyres

Re-sprayed in 2005 with a more recent Nissan paint - Intense Blue Pearlescent, originally bayside blue but this blue looks sharper. (see below)

I had both rear quarters professionally repaired (cut out and repair section welded in) when I bought the GTR – the car was fully under sealed at the same time.


INTERIOR:

MOMO RACING WHEEL IN BLACK

TOMEI Billet gear knob

Image

IMPUL 300 KPH Speedo and Tacho (was changed at 100k, now reads 22k for a total of 122,000 km or 76,000 miles- was 67k when purchased)

Has original Nissan skyline over carpets in good condition.



DOWNSIDES:

There always is with an 18 years old Datsun and I have taken this into account when setting the asking price.

As I discovered when driving home from the August BP meet she will need a new clutch fitted fairly soon – yes she is still perfectly drivable as long as you aren’t too lead footed.

The A/C needs a refill (did work originally)

There are a couple of bubbles in the paintwork – 1x notable scratch and 1x small dent in the driver’s door

There are a couple of small bubbles on the dash and the passenger air vent is glued together



THERE ARE ALSO UNFITTED SPARES these include

New rear bushes (cusco?)

WASTE GATE RE PIPING KIT which removes the need to blow back into the intake and the pipe back to the crankcase vapor catch tank

PERFORMANCE:

I have Dyno Sheets with 457 BHP and 407 F/lbs or torque ATF from Engine advantages (See Photo) this was since tweaked by APT to improve it from the (Engine Advantages) 320 ATW up to 338.5 ATW and to run a bit richer mixture (safer and cooler)

I have probably forgotten loads off bits and bobs but this will give you some idea, I will also add further info and photos as I remember or finish cleaning the parts concerned. Please note that some of the dates on the photos are not correct - most were taken very recently.

Sorry to see that you are selling it Mark. If I had the money I would buy it myself.

Good luck with the sale mate.

I don't normally like to post on 'for sale' threads if I'm not interested in buying it but here is an exception.

I remember seeing this car before Mark bought it; I think Mark and I were unknowingly chasing a lot of the same cars advertised at the time. The paint was superb, a real selling feature and Mark has spent some decent money improving the car into a really good daily driver GTR. A high torque level too for a stage one GTR so proof that good mapping and mods do work.

The very best of luck with the sale Mark. It shouldn't sit around for too long

It is appreciated, but sadly she does have to go (along with other stuff) to make space for a project that has been beckoning for a few years now and to generate some spare dosh to boot.

I have a hankering to return to my roots as far as cars are concerned - I want a Datsun 240z or 260z again - obviously it would be a restoration jobby (which I have done previously) but hey ho....

Still for sale Gents - I've been made redundant - which means she has to go - it also means that I will initially have 2 pennies to rub together - so I am going to relace the clutch and drop the price by 200 - I will update the post when this has been done

- so now up for 6500 ovno - with new clutch
