The car’s spec is as follows:

1. 2.0 16v Turbo
2. 6 speed manual
3. Power Red
4. Half Leather Recaros
5. AFLs (active headlights – lights turn as you go round corners) very expensive to buy invoice from perrys for over £700
6. Power folding mirrors (rare option)
7. Electric Windows
8. Rear Parking sensors
9. Keyless Entry and pushbutton start
10. Auto lights
11. Auto “rain sensing” wipers
12. Aircon (brand new aircon rad fitted Sep16)

13. Clarion NX405E stereo (fitted Jul17) with CD/DVD MP3 and built in Sat Nav (£619)

14. Full 3” Turbo back custom Stainless Steel Exhaust (with interchangeable sports cat section) so you can swap from sports cat (road legal) to full decat with just 2 bolts (cost £1000)

15. 8x18” Calibre Suzuka wheels (unmarked bought in Oct 16) in gun metal grey with 4 Uniroyal winter tyres with good tread (also have same size wheels in silver for summer use, again unmarked bought Mar 17 with brand new Vredestein Ultrac Vorti tyres- these are awesome and well rated on the VXR forums). The car originally came with 19s, but if you know these cars you'll know they handle better on 18s and the ride quality is much better.

16. MTC front mount intercooler kit with silicone hose kit and uprated top hat (fitted Jun17)

17. Full SMD Red LED conversion so all interior lighting is red instead of yellow

18. Forge Uprated Recirclation valve (fitted Aug 16)

19. MTC Crossover delete with AEM cone filter (fitted Feb 17)

20. Custom Unicorn Motor developments remap to stage 3

21. Full Bilsten b14 coilover kit (£620 - fitted Jun17) with new front droplinks and new bumpstops and top mounts (entire suspension system is new). Don't be put off by coilovers, they are not like the cheap and nasty setups you can buy that shake your teeth out. The ride quality on these is far better than cars with lowering springs and tired old OEM shockers.

22. Whiteline Rear Anti Roll Bar fitted Jun17 – one of the best mods to do to a VXR- corners on rails now

23. Fully Bosch 4 wheel laser aligned (£75)

24. Courtenay uprated sprung clutch (rated to 400bhp) and lightweight single mass flywheel fitted (Nov17 at 85091miles –cost £1300) – I opted for the single mass lightweight flywheel as everytime the clutch needs changing, its 90% certain, with a Dual mass Flywheel, that the flywheel needs changing also. The standard clutch and DMF flywheel is about £550+fitting, so the best part of a grand. With the single mass flywheel, it’s pretty well guaranteed that when the clutch needs changing, you only need to do the clutch so it works out cheaper in the longer term. Also I fitted the uprated CSR clutch rather than standard, as well as the lighter billet flywheel (5.4kgs), which noticeably improves acceleration. These are known to be a bit noisy when at ideal but this is normal and well know about on all vxr forums.

25. BMW Mini roof aerial (shorter and more attractive than the Vauxhall one)

26. Uprated CANBUS error free LED sidelights, number plate and internal lights

27. New upgraded Alloy radiator

28. Tinted wind deflectors

29. Gloss black front lip spoiler just been fitted.

As you can see theirs absolute fortune spent on this car in the past 2 years and it has wanted for nothing. No expense has been spared and most of the brakes and suspension are new. The engine and handling have been improved and the car is now exceptionally quick but still totally useable day to day and returns pretty good MPG. Averages around 26MPG round town, high 30s on the motorway. The car comes with a massive folder of receipts, has absolutely nothing wrong with it at all and most of the serviceable items have been replaced. This is one well looked after VXR. It is also cleaned every week without fail by a professional valeter.

I looked at loads of VXRs before buying this one and there a lot of dogs out there owned by boy racers who screw them about and don’t look after them. I am a total enthusiast, as was the owner before me, and the car has been treated like a baby. You will struggle to find a nicer VXR than this

I'm looking for a nice Nissan skyline r32 r33 GTST or an r34 GTT must be road worthy and turbo.
I'm in no rush to sell / swap this car and will not be swapping it for rubbish
I value my car around £6000
