FS 1973 Nissan Skyline w/RB26dett - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hello,
A friend suggested I post my car here so please excuse the fact that I am new. I am in the U.S. and obviously the car is here as well. I brought the car in last year and performed the RB swap shortly afterwards. It runs and drives beautifully but is not a "finished" project yet. Here is what we have:
R33 RB26dett
R33 RB25det 5 speed tranny
Stage 2 Spec clutch
JVT aluminum radiator
3" intercooler
HKS racing blow off valve
HKS Kansai Carbon Kevlar timing and plug covers
BDL fuel rail
Earls and Summit -6 AN steel braided fuel lines
Aeromotive fuel regulator
Aeromotive fuel filter
3/8 aluminum fuel supply line
1/4 aluminum fuel return line
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Nismo shift knob
16" electric fan

These are the basic upgrades. The RB is essentially stock, not that it needs much to begin with. The car is very fast. And it's only running 7 pounds of boost right now. The interior is stock except for the gauges which have been replaced with STRI and Autometer units. The interior is in very, very good shape. It also has the very rare factory over head console. The body has no rust so far as I've seen. It's very straight with a decent paint job. I am currently working on a new 3" mandrel exhaust as these older pics do not show it. The suspension and brakes are also stock and could use an upgrade at some point to better handle the new power. A good set of after market wheels would really complete the package. I am including spares as well. I have a Nismo R200 4.8 LSD, Wolf EMS, 280ZX turbo CV joints and a full set of 17" Kumho Victoracer tires. I have no problem with shipping the car anywhere. I am asking $22k U.S. OBO.
I can be reached at brian.dooley1@yahoo.com . Here are some pics and video.
