This Nissan Skyline GT-R is a well-presented example of the iconic giant-killing R33-generation performance coupe, enhanced by a selection of tasteful cosmetic and performance upgrades. Under the bonnet is the famed 2.6-litre twin-turbocharged ‘RB26DETT’ straight-six, producing around 276bhp, driving all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The car has been with the seller for seven years and has been enjoyed as intended but evidently well maintained. This GT-R is understood to have been a Japan-delivered model that was imported to Australia in 2007, and is now located in Adelaide. It has just two owners since its import. The deregistration certificate from Japan shows prior mileage readings of 108,600 km in 2005 and then 33,100 km in 2007. Given the current odometer reading, its true mileage from new is therefore estimated at 225,000 km. This R33 Skyline GT-R is finished in Sonic Silver with carbon-fibre trim accents, over a two-tone grey and blue synthetic suede-trimmed interior, with a black dashboard highlighted by carbon-fibre trim inlays, as well as a black leather-trimmed steering wheel, handbrake and gear gaiter, featuring red contrast stitching. It rides on a set of aftermarket 19-inch ‘Drift-R’ split-rim five-spoke alloy wheels, which house Brembo brakes. Its cabin is equipped with genuine GT-R seats and GT-R floor mats. The factory specification includes electrically adjustable and folding door mirrors, a quartz digital clock, centre console mounted front torque, oil temperature and boost gauges, automatic air conditioning, and a Pioneer sound system. The car features a number of non-standard upgrades including a Nismo gear knob, Nismo carbon fibre B-pillar trim, a GReddy front strut brace, an adjustable rear strut brace, an M Spec radiator, HKS air filters, BC Racing adjustable coilovers, an RS-R exhaust system, and a Clarion stereo unit with remote control. The car will be supplied with its owner’s manual, two GT-R keys, Japanese deregistration certificate, as well as a spare wheel and tools. The Sonic Silver paintwork is reported to be in generally good condition, though the seller notes that there are stone chips on the front bumper and rear spoiler. There are also scuffs on the front bumper lower lip, a crack in the lower grille surround, a small rust spot on the bottom of the nearside A-pillar and scuffs further up the pillar, along with a slight dent on the nearside front wing and some minor deterioration on the ‘V-spec’ decal. Moving inside, the cabin is presented in great shape, though there are some minor blemishes on the passenger door speaker cover and some creasing on the front seats, with wear on the driver’s seat bolsters. There are no known mechanical or electrical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. In May 2022, a brand-new Century Ultra High-Performance battery was installed. This Skyline GT-R’s most recent maintenance was carried out in January 2022 by Boost Works High Performance Engineering, which consisted of the fitment of an Xtreme Performance sprung organic clutch kit, new cam covers, gaskets and half-moon seals, as well as a new front inner CV boot. A service and safety check was carried out in November 2021 at an indicated 113,000 Km by Boost Works High Performance Engineering, which included replacing all of the OEM heater hoses and inlet gaskets. Another service and safety check was carried out in January 2021 by Boost Works High Performance Engineering, and included a fluid change, as well as the fitment of new OEM hicas ball joints, hoses, and clamps. Other maintenance carried out since 2014 includes fitment of genuine Nissan air flow meters, new Nissan front outer tie rods ends and outer rear HICAS, and genuine Nissan HICAS ball joints. It has also been fitted with SuperPro bush kits for the front upper and outer control arms, and has received a 100,000-km service including a new Nissan water pump and timing belt. This Nissan Skyline (R33) GT-R is a well-presented example of the iconic Japanese performance coupe, offered with significant recent mechanical maintenance. Boasting discerning performance and cosmetic upgrades, timeless styling and an engaging driving experience, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of modern classic performance cars, or as an exciting companion for weekend blasts.
