Description
Nissan Skyline gtr series 3 (final model). November 1997 with 18377 miles from new. Car was imported from Japan new into the uk.
Two previous owners, the first being the importer himself who sold it to a family friend. This mature gentleman purchased the car in January 1999 with 300km(180 miles) on the clock. The speedometer was converted to miles shortly after with the radio reprogrammed for uk frequencies.
In the summer of 1999 the car was taken to Middlehurst motorsport to be mapped for uk super unleaded. When there nismo springs were fitted to the original shocks, as they tend to sit high from factory. Middlehurst are a well known Gtr specialist who were in charge of adapting the original 100 uk R33’s back in 1997.
From 2017 the car was sorn’d till June 2023. The gentleman sold the car to me in July 2023, after owning it for 24 years and 18012 miles. When I got the car I completely went through the mechanicals. All fluids, filters, spark plugs and belts were changed. It even had the original Bridgestone tyres from new which were changed to new Bridgestones all round.
Cosmetically the car was immaculate apart from the lower front spoiler which was slightly scuffed and painted white and slight over spray on the bumper. I had the bumper repainted and restored the spoiler back to its original satin black. Apart from the rear bumper which I believe was repainted the rest of the car is all original. All alloys are as they came from the factory with the manufacturer grey dot on each one with no kerbing marks.
Underneath the car is also mint. The mechanic who did the servicing remarked how even the earth straps, nuts etc were as new.
The interior is also immaculate, no signs of wear anywhere. Even the original deep pile floor mats are as new. Car also comes with a rear optioned momo steering wheel from factory.
All mot’s up to 2016 is present, sorns there after. The car was put back on the road on 30th June 2023 with a fresh mot received on 25th June 2024.
The original gtr wallet with books are with the car, 2 keys with fobs and the gold gtr key, import papers and all invoices or work done. Even the original bill of sale. There is a toad alarm fitted to the car with two fobs. R33 WOW included in the sale.
Just over 1900 series 3 gtr’s were produced. This is the final model run which were fitted with the extra bracing underneath, N1 front bumper ducts, deeper front spoiler and the sought after xenon headlights, now commanding £10k plus.
The car needs nothing doing, just taxed.
