I've found a GTR V-Spec only done 4000km and can get on the raod for $92k including road side assist and 3yr warranty etc etc. Going by what I've seen on the second hand market looks like a great buy.

I'd apreciate any opinions from anyone as I've only been looking around for a few weeks now.

Thanks in advance

edit: - '99 Model :)

i'd really get a pro to check the "4000km" since it would seem to be fake unless it has an aftermarket dash or the car was just used for "track" use...but 4000km is really low. It is a decnt price. But get it checked out by someone who knows what he/she is doing, also check the overall condition of the car, like the condition off the enigne bay. Have you test driven it?? Make sure no unsuall noises occur while your driving and listen to the engine while it's at idle etc etc...Also you could get a friend who may have one to go for i ride while test drive, check the lcd display for any errors or the engine getting to hot etc. Hope it helps i'm sure alot of people can add more.

Thanks for the info guys.

Apparently it's an ex demonstrator from Japan. Been here about 6 months. I am a little suspect, as 4k for 4 years would be extreamly rare. The engine bay looked almost spotless. I think it may have been used for some "advertising" for the dealer at certain track meets or something and there are a few superficial marks on the body, maybe from shipping alone. Everything is totally stock so posibly joy rides for interested buyers of later models ie '00 & '01? Haven't driven it or really checked it out yet, obviously I will before buying tho....

Is there anyone in Melbourne that could be recomended to do a check? Willing to pay for services of course...

he he yeah - MR2 has been with me for a few years now. Had it bought in personally in mid 99, so time for an upgrade. I'm earning a little more now than what I was 4 years ago :-)

Mick - Do you have contact details for Ben? Can't find a white pages listing for Race Pace

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
