  1. Ok, his real name is Joshua Redman, mobile number is 0412 997 269. 

    He made one payment and then decided to block my number, I often catch up him slip up and answer private numbers to act like a stunned piece of shit and then hang up. 

    He claimed to have Covid-19 and had to spent his tax return on medicine so couldn't pay. Being Tasmania hasn't had any active cases of public transmission in forever this is very unlikely.

  2. Anyone know this bloke? Sold him a turbo, received a screen shot of a legitimate looking bank transfer so I sent it out with a few other things leaving that day before it cleared.

    Money never cleared, and I got the usual story he will resend it, then the usual sob story he just lost his job and his mrs and he needs that $275 to live, then vanished. Has answered his phone once by mistake.

    Lives in the Hounville area.

    PayPal id linked to his phone number is Joshua Redman, but went by the name Josh Wills.

    Only asking SAU as is email address is [email protected]

    It's not much, but he's lied to me three times and wont answer my phone calls which is the piss off. I'll happily sell the debt to a local debt collector, or report to VEDA through my work as a bad debt. 

    Cheers,

    Steve

     

  3. Brand new in box 150a Advance High Efficiency Alternator to suit R33 or R34 RB25 & RB26. Should also suit similar vintage Stagea, but please confirm the part number (HE150-011S).

    May suit R32 as well but I believe you will need to change your alternator plug, or order an adaptor from Japan. With our crazy dollar at the moment these are $1,250+delivered.

    $800 plus $25 shipping Australia wide.

  4. Topics says EOI, but this definitely is more in the For Sale category than not. Long story short it sadly doesn't fit into any of my immediate plans to short term plans and with plans for an expanding family over the coming 12 months this is probably the time to start making a few changes. I have also recently picked up a TME 6.5 which has really highlighted to me the lack of desire to finsih the coupe. I thought i'd throw it up on here before the scumtree wolves.

    Would love to see someone finish and enjoy the car. It's sad, it's life unfortunately. I have something a bit more turn key for sprints and hill climbs in the works. Ultimately finishing this car how I want too, and then binning it would be a much bigger shame than letting someone else have a crack at it.

     To finish the car;

    Mount Intercooler and adapt piping or new from scratch if you use an aftermarket plenum - piping supplied to suit factory GTSR intercooler stock location in engine bay
     Some form of fuel system – after market in tank pump is all it currently has
     You will need to wire in an ECU. No ECU or engine wiring comes with the car
     Paint needs some attention, new bumper will require paint being new out of the box.
     Factory air con setup is in with the car
     Replacement plastic trims will come with the car
     Motor has been setup to handle a reliable 500rwhp.

    Looking around the low to mid 20s, depending on what you want. As a guideline I have asked $8,000 for the mainfold, turbo, exhaust, waste gate, bov, and cooler piping. I have never seen one of these manifolds in the wild before. No parts available separately until shell has sold. Happy to assist interstate buyers - shell rolls, steers and has brakes.  Unregistered but import approval will be supplied. Car does not need to be complied nor meet any ADR’s after 1986 (in WA).
     
    Call, Whatsapp or Text - 0422 458 267 or email [email protected] with any questions, there is probably heaps of bits I have forgotten as well.

  5. I haven't bought a car from there, but generally no negotiation at the house, they are generous, but the price is the price.

    I'll shout out if any more pop up. 

    Just be warned not a lot is available for 31s any more - all the rubber seals, lights, badges, external door trims are NLA from Nissan, drive shafts and stub axles are pretty thin on the ground now as well (not an issue if you're not making big power). The bumper vents and lips are NLA (31House has some expensive reproduction ones now, and FRP lips are available).

    If you do end up looking at one missing a few pieces keep the following in the back of your mind; Manifold and Heat Shield is anywhere from 2-5k, turbo is 1-2k depending on condition (crazy for a T04E), Steering wheel is 1-2k now depending on condition, Vents can be up to $1k from 31House, even little things like the factory gear knob can reach $500 now. Our shit dollar doesn't help at the moment either. I am sure you have seen similar issues with the DR30 however.

    Hoping the HR31 gets picked up under the Nismo Heritage program in the future, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

  6. All depends on the cost of the base car, here is an example of an average one they are selling for 47kish - So would be in your 55k budget landed and registered.

    Looks to have an aftermarket intercooler. Probably not a bad option if you want to get into one ASAP, body looks decent and you can hunt around for a good hazard switch and you might be able to find a decent steering wheel.

    I will ask a mate in Japan as to the restoration process and costs.  

  7. Their business model is now to sell complete restored cars; You buy one of the "cheap ones" they have for sale in the yard in the agreement that they restore it for you. We are now living in an age where it takes 3-4 cars to make one good one.

    I've noticed several Japanese single make workshops have moved to this model (TA Auto is another example of this with the S30) over recent years.

    They are hoarding parts solely for use in restoration, not for resale. It's pretty sad, I've been there three times now and to see the physical amount of cars they have on site (R31 and now R30) is quite breathtaking (and heart breaking to see a rare part your're chasing rotting on the ground not for sale). Speaking to Shibata through a translater, he estimates he has about 320-350 of the 800 made on the property in various states. 

    R31House are making reproduction parts now, but it really is becoming a monopoly. 

    55k should be enough to import one, you just need to be really patent and wait for one to pop up, thankfully it seems the Americans haven't taken a huge shining to them like they have the 32 and 33.

    A few months ago I was prepared to pay 10k for a bare rolling shell but couldn't find anything in Australia, NZ, or Japan. I found a car in California missing all the good bits but they still wanted 22k USD for it. 

  8. Overseas may be your best bet, one popped up for 1.5 million yen a few months ago and was snapped up pretty quickly. Average prices seems to be around the 3 - 4 million yen mark now. You probably don't need a lecture, but try to buy one as complete as possible as parts are becoming fairly thin on the ground now for the HR31.

    Biggest things to look for are; mainfold, wing, steering wheel, lip, & bumper vents. Finding these things in good condition is nearly impossible now. 

    31House do sell some amazing restored ones, but they would be well over 70 landed and registered.
