The 2JZ That Everyone Wanted
1997 Toyota Supra RZ 6-Speed · 52,000 km
Godzilla in Its Prime

Finished in the legendary Midnight Purple II, a colour exclusive to the R34 GT-R and produced in limited numbers, this 1999 V-Spec is among the most complete and honest examples currently available on Australian soil.
Grey-imported through a Melbourne specialist in 2003, the car received full DOTARS compliance and has been registered continuously in Victoria since. The seller has owned the car for the past nine years and maintained it obsessively, with all service work carried out by a Nissan specialist with genuine factory parts wherever available.
The RB26DETT remains in standard specification save for an HKS Hi-Power cat-back exhaust fitted under the current owner. The twin ceramic turbochargers are believed to be original fitment and the car pulls strongly across all four wheels via the ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel-drive system.
With the R34 GT-R now firmly established as a modern classic, and examples of this calibre becoming exceptionally rare, this represents a genuine opportunity to acquire an icon at a transparent, no-reserve auction.

Questions are public and visible to all bidders.
The HKS exhaust is an interesting choice on an otherwise standard car. Does the seller know when it was fitted and is the original exhaust available?
I fitted the HKS in 2018 after about six months of ownership. Unfortunately the original exhaust is no longer with the car, it was traded against the HKS at the time. The HKS suits the car well and the fitment is professional. I should have kept the original in hindsight.
No reserve at this sort of km and condition is genuinely unusual. Respect to the seller for letting the market decide.
Curious about the compliance, was this done through a specialist or a mainstream importer? Also, can you share the compliance plate details?
Compliance was done through Melbourne Motor Imports in 2003, one of the most reputable compliance workshops of that era. Full DOTARS paperwork included in the history file. Compliance plate is dated April 2003.
Midnight Purple II is the holy grail R34 colour. Can you confirm this is the original paint and not a respray? The shade can look different on camera depending on lighting.
Original paint throughout, I've had it verified by a professional paint depth gauge across all panels. Happy to share the readings. The gallery photos are taken in both direct sun and shade to give you an accurate picture of the shift.
I've owned three R34s and this is the most honest example I've seen listed publicly in Australia in two years. The ATTESA E-TS Pro on a car this clean is exceptional value at any price under $200k.
