Nissan Gloria - VIP style - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Big Mark · 18th January 2008, 03:20 PM

It's a 1995 (October) Nissan Gloria Gran Turismo Ultima Multi AV.....a name so long it prompted people here to just call it Janet.
3.0l V6 single turbo (VQ30DET) motor.
Pearlescent White in colour.
Speedo/Odo still read in km's......odo now showing about 104,500km.
Plenty of archwork to get the huge Kranze Cerberus wheels to fit (approx 10x18 fr and 12x18 rr). All nicely moulded into the exiting bodywork and aftermarket pieces.
Aftermarket kit includes sideskirts and rear bumper by Admiration and a bonnet (make unknown) contoured to follow the lines of the headlights.
Suspension is by Impul.
Engine is remarkably standard, however a stainless exhaust has been fitted from the cat back.

The interior has had a complete re-trim in black and white leather (seats, doorcards, armrests, the full bifta) aswelll as some imaginative colouring of the plastic trim pieces.
The stereo head untis have been relocated to the glovebox area, which has been moulded and re-trimmed to suit.

Bodywork is tidy and almost causes arc eye when cleaning it in the sunshine. There are however a couple of areas which would need tidying to make it 100%, but nothing that couldn't be sorted for a few hundred quid.
Wheels do have some knocks and would benefit from a refurb.....although they're so damned wide you all you notice is the huge lip at first.

If I had to sum the car up in a couple of words, it would have to be 'TOTALLY PIMP'

It also makes a great wedding car by the way (it was used for mine, along with Mark from Abbey MS R34), and I was getting some pressure to have a magazine feature done on it, but never got the chance to arrange things properly with the magazine guys. I do still have their contact details if the new owner feels so inclined.

Now, I'm not currently in the UK, however the car is and is in the trusted hands of some close friends who have been members of the Skyline community for a good while now. It went to a couple of shows last year but, like me, work is getting in the way of my friends ability to enjoy the car, hence time to find someone who can parade the car around more frequently.

I will field all initial enquiries myself but when the time comes to look at the motor itself I will hand over the deelings to my friend in my absence.

I'm looking for £4600 ovno

Either send a PM or e-mail to skylineguv at gmail.com

Those rear arches are cool! Is that the same 3litre lump that powers the 300zx?
Best of luck with the sale.

No the motor in this is a VQ series (they were VG's in the 300ZX TT and earlier Cedrics/Glorias etc). Basically the same engine family as the motors in the 350Z's and last/current generation Skylines.

It's RWD. Hate to think what it'd be like as a FWD
