I’ve just purchased a house so unfortunately the car has to go.
I’m currently debt free (well excluding the mortgage) and would like to keep it that way! So running 2 cars isn’t really an option right now.
Had the car just over 3 years now and replaced a few bits and pieces!
I’m the first UK owner, and before I even picked it up the car was undersealed. It was an N/A auto shell that’s been converted. Mileage on the shell appears to be around 70,000 KM’s, and the engine about 60,000 miles.
It is stupidly clean on the underside, and the only bits of rust that need a bit of TLC are on the inside of the boot floor, where a missing bung let a little water in, and in the engine bay where the front mount pipes go down to the core. (Blame the vented bonnet!) Nothing more than surface rust for both areas.
Note – The car will come on a set of 4x R33 GTR’s or similar, the Nismo LMGT4’s, and set of Enkei ABC Exclusives will be coming off and going elsewhere.
I’ll be totally honest the paintwork is dire. I’d planned to have the whole car fully resprayed and to change the kit, but in the end never got round to it.
The car will come with a brand new never fitted Chargespeed front + rear bumper, with the sideskirts to match. (I’m looking to shift the lot as I’d like my garage back)
The original 1JZ was suffering from low compression so a replacement was sourced.
Greg @ Protuner carried out all the work, the replacement engine was sourced with aprox 60k on the clocks.

Bad points
The paintwork + general fitting of the kit isn’t great at all, but I’m chucking in a brand new unfitted kit, so all you've gotta do is pick the colour of your choice and go crazy!
Solid shell, and it's all cosmetic.
There is a slight vibration through the wheel and under braking at certain speeds. This has been tracked down to the front brake discs. When they were drilled the holes were made ever so slightly too large, so it just needs a set of spigot rings to be knocked up, or you could always replace the discs and have the holes drilled to the correct size.
Cracked rear light, but it'll come with a replacement.
Speedo not working, pretty sure it's just not connected up, but it's never bothered me as I've just used my Sat-Nav. I'll chuck my road angel in with the car.
£7k for the car + new kit, and 4x S14 stock wheels if you want them.
Just to add, yes I've just purchased a house and will be completing in a few weeks, but I'm not desperate to sell! So let's not have the usual 'what's your best price mate? & 'lowest price' PM's.
The car is located near Tadley. Viewings more than welcome, any test drives will be subject to fully comp insurance, and the funds in hand.
Pictures will be going up shortly, the majority of them are still on my camera at home so I'll see what I've got on my phone/photobucket!
