Seller's Notes

This R33-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R is a modern classic Japanese performance hero, which has been enhanced with a number of discerning upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt turbocharged 2.6-litre ‘RB26DETT’ straight-six, now producing 403kW (though noted to have been previously tuned to 637kW) and driving all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered car, which was imported to Australia in 2009, and it has been with the seller for 15 years. This car had an engine rebuild at 269,000 km in 2022 by IPM Racing in Canberra. The odometer now shows 306,571 km. Build year: 1997 This Skyline GT-R is finished in Polar White over a black and grey synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring Series 3 perforated red inserts on the seats and door cards. It now rides on 19-inch Enkei Racing six twin-spoke alloy wheels, framing black Brembo callipers, and fitted with Toyo Poxes and Pirelli Dragon tyres. The specification includes a heated rear screen, centre console front torque, oil temperature and turbocharger boost pressure gauges, automatic air conditioning climate control, and electrically adjustable and folding mirrors. Externally, this example features LED tail lights, a carbon fibre lower front lip, a carbon fibre rear wing, a carbon fibre front grille, and the original Series 3 headlights. Inside, the cabin now features upgraded front and rear speakers, original Series 3 seats, Nismo leather seat covers front and back (said to have cost $2,000), new carpet and floor mats. Mechanical modifications include an RB26 engine rebuild at 269,000 km in 2022 by IPM Racing in Canberra (at a cost of up to $60,000), with the crank collar grub screwed and micro-polished, race series bearings, ARP main studs, a Nitto head gasket, Nitto I-beam rods and pistons, a Nitto oil pump, a hi-octane race sump, and a full head service. The car is also fitted with a single GTX3582R turbo, oil catch can, Haltech Elite ECU, E85 flex tune, digital ignition, drive-by-wire system, and a two-stage boost controller. It is noted to have been tuned to 866 hp (637kW) in the past, but currently reliably runs 550 hp (403kW) on high boost. The vehicle will be supplied with its original manual, receipts, one key, the original grill, rear wing, rear tail lights, and GTR floor mats, two rear pods and five spare spitfire coil packs. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is minor wear and tear on the exterior consistent with the age of the vehicle, while inside there is a small tear on the passenger door trim. The seller notes the air bag and four-wheel drive lights are illuminated on the dashboard, but notes that a mechanic confirms the four-wheel drive system functions correctly. The latest service was during May 2025 at 306,500 km by IPM Racing, Mitchell ACT. Prior to this, the car was serviced in July 2024, and in November 2023. The seller also notes that in July 2025, the car received a new battery, a new radiator and heating unit, a new clutch master cylinder, and the injectors were bench cleaned, followed by the fitment of a new windscreen in September 2025. The car also received an engine tune in June 2025 by IPM Racing, Mitchell ACT. This R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R is a potent modified example of the sought-after Japanese performance icon, which has been enhanced with a number of discerning performance and cosmetic upgrades. Benefiting from a rebuilt and tweaked turbocharged straight-six engine, and reported to be in generally good condition given its age, this Skyline GT-R would make a rewarding companion for weekend drives, longer-distance road trips, and JDM car meets.
