    End of summer deal - 1990 Skyline Gtr Nismo Edition #283

    Only 500ish nismo version made. This is #283.


    Hey guys. My skyline is for sale. Here is the story:

    I bought the car 2 years ago from a private seller near Toronto (I’m the 3rd owner in Canada). I drove it all summer, the car pulled great and even dyno’ed at a very responsive 354 awhp. Later that summer, a coolant hose split while I was cruising on the highway and the engine overheated. Since I was 5 hours away from where I lived, I had to delay the rebuild.

    To make a long story short, fast forward 2 years and the car has been started for the first time a couple of months ago. I put my blood, tears, time and quite a bit of money into it but I’m selling because although it is driveable right now, I just don’t have the same passion I had for it a couple of years ago. I’m sure someone else would benefit a lot more from it. Plus I might be going overseas soon and selling the house so I need to unload as much stuff as I can as I might invest into another project.

    ** I have not driven the car much, maybe 5km total since the new engine was put in so the user will have to finish the breaking-in. **

    The car currently has Ontario plates (expired) but is located in nova scotia. The machining and rebuilding of the engine was done by a reputable shop not too far from where I live.

    Here are the specs of the car:

    - Early R32 block magnafluxed, bored to 86.5mm and decked flat
    - Wiseco 86.5mm forged pistons
    - Eagle forged rods
    - Collar fitted on crank for wide pump engagement
    - Cosworth MLS headgasket
    - Head decked + 3 angle refresh on both sides + new valve stem seals
    - ARP headstuds
    - Nismo timing belt
    - Tomei cam cap studs
    - Yellowjacket coils
    - Pair of N1 (steel wheel) turbos, back one is brand new factory refurbished from garrett. Good to 620hp (as a pair) according to Garrett.
    - HKS pod air filters
    - Grex oil filter relocation kit
    - Nismo oil pump (not N1, full blown nismo)
    - Tomei oil restrictor
    - Fitting welded on oil pan for head drain mod (will include hose + an fittings, not head fitting)
    - Rotating assembly weighted and balanced
    - Nismo super coppermix twin clutch with lightened flywheel
    - Nismo reinforced clutch pivot
    - Samco radiator hoses & heater core hoses
    - Apexi AVC-R boost controller
    - Pioneer deck with ipod / iphone usb hookup (control ipod from deck)
    - TB202 Turbo timer
    - Compustar 2 way alarm (features remote start, turbo timer as well as other standard stuff) with 2 remotes
    - Tein suspension
    - Rear apexi strut bar (front one is stock)
    - Tires are Kuhmo ecsta (read more below)
    - Rays light anodized lugnuts
    - Most new fluids (except transmission oil).
    - Momo removeable steering wheel
    - Defi controller and oil pressure gauge
    - Valve covers powdercoated light gray.
    - No rust to be seen

    I understand GTRs are going for a low rate these days so I will include the following to sweeten the deal. Included but not installed:

    - decat pipe (currently has the cat installed
    - 4 tires with less than 100km on them (Dunlop Sp sport 9090 in 235/45/ZR17, not really skyline size but they are brand new, you could probably sell them for $400).
    - 2 sets of spare generic lugnuts
    - random parts I collected over those 2 years (stock parts, replacement trim, etc).

    - Car has 69xxx kms on original nismo 320 km/h cluster.

    The bad:

    - The paint is a little rough. Lots of nicks and some orange peel in places. Trunk has had a spray can makeover and therefore it doesn't match perfectly the rest of the car.

    - The bodykit is starting to show its age (see pictures). Some warpage, especially on the driver side skirt and the under spoiler.

    - Passenger front tire is badly worn because of a bad alignment. That's why I'm throwing in the extra set of tires. They're not the best for the car but they will get you safetied and on the road.

    - Other weird little thing is the car makes a fairly loud squeaking noise when you first start it. I think it's a belt that needs replacing but I'm not sure. The noise always goes away after a couple of seconds. It also doesn't always do it, just when the car has been sitting for a while.

    So I think that's it. This car is priced to sell at 10,000 negotiable (within reason). Shipping/delivery can be negotiated or arranged depending on where you live. A wicked deal for a car that's a little rough on the edges but has a lot of potential.

    Feel free to make offers, trades, etc.

    Please don't clutter this thread, questions by PM only and I will add the missing info to this post.

    Thanks!

    Etienne
