1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec

KEY FACTS This R34-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec is a highly sought-after and rare modern Japanese performance icon, enhanced with several period-style performance upgrades. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.6-litre ‘RB26DETT’ inline-six, driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was imported to Australia by the seller with a Japanese auction grade of 5A, where it passed compliance in May 2008, and it has been with the seller and the reportedly second owner for 18 years. The odometer indicates 166,659 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1999 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES As a highly desirable V-Spec model, this Skyline GT-R features additional intake and exhaust gas temperature readouts on the multifunction LCD display, an active limited-slip differential, and an additional front splitter and rear diffuser. This example is finished in the ever-popular shade of White, over a black cabin featuring grey synthetic suede upholstery and gold-tinted brushed metal-effect trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch six-spoke alloy wheels, framing gold Brembo brake callipers, and fitted with Dayton DT30 tyres. Equipment includes a rear screen wiper, xenon headlights, a black leather-trimmed steering wheel and handbrake lever with red stitching, a multifunction LCD media system with performance readouts, automatic air conditioning, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. The engine and drivetrain have been upgraded with an Apexi Power FC ECU, an Apexi boost controller, Tomei Poncams and adjustable cam gears, Garrett 2860-7 turbochargers with HKS actuators, a Nismo fuel pump, Splitfire ignition coils, K&N pod filters, Nismo exhaust headers and catalytic converter, and a Gannador 3-inch titanium exhaust system. Further modifications include a Nismo clutch, a Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, a Nismo clutch, and an aluminium expansion tank. A dyno report visible in the p
