paul bell saves the day again! state roads are great.

Yea they are and I must say that I think the overall positive response.....and now that i think of it I don't think i've read one bad comment about them, is huge in this forum. Maybe SkylineAustralia could affiliate with them some how and members could get a discount?....*hint hint* hahah just a thought

Very interesting read and good to see members putting up this info. Am impressed with how thorough the report is and the price is a small one for what could have been a lemon in your hands.

yea, state roads inspected mine. paul bell was the testers name he was REALLY thorough with it too. I had another car checked by him 2 weeks prior to me buying my skyline best money i ever spent. Takes you outside afterwards too in private away from the seller to talk to you about the car. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I'm in the market for a 33 GTR at the moment. Decided to jump onto the forums to see if there are any good deals besides just relying on carsales.com . Had a DC2 type R before this, had stateroads to do a check and they were very thorough. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to buy a car to do a pre purchase inspection.

Cheers,

Daniel

Just a heads up for people wanting to buy a particular car that is on the For Sale section in these forums. I'm not going to name specifically which car here, but one of the R33 GTR for sale in Victoria was an accident car that got smashed pretty bad in the front.

As posted on previous posts in this thread, i don't think it is against forum rules to warn fellow members.

I think that is a good idea (waring members) basically i think their should be a thread....maybe this one? where ppl post what they have noticed/found about the car but I think as a fair rule you have to provide supporting evidence i.e. creditable damage report (State Roads/RACV Pre-purshase report) or Pictures of the notable damage with an identifiable feature (partial or full plates (license/VIN) Other rules I think should include No personal judgments, No identifiable information (name, specific address (I think just include the area), phone number) what do you think guys? If this is ok with the members I'll swing it buy the mods and get their opinion.

As long as there is a credible report from a recognised independent party (like state roads etc) then there is no issue with posting the report as anyone could attain it in their own checks, just saves some leg work.

couple of years ago i bought a r32 gtr from sydney of a member here. greek god or something

it was cheap. i payed 15 grand for it. i looked under the car, and saw a crushed bit of the chasis rails (possibly where it had been jacked up wrong)

i asked him he said he "has never jacked up the car"

anyway

i bought it back down to melb, ran in to some financial difficulties.

rego ran out :D

had to re register it get a roady

i got a roadworthy, a very expensive one lol

took it to vicroads, jsut to get the guy there to tell me he wont let it pass the inspection... had to get another roady from somewhere else..

so i put it up for sale, some of you might remember...

in my eyes the car was perfect. cept for 1 scratch.

anyway this guy called up from interstate, an older fella. wanted a nice car again. very nice dude. he asked if he could get the car checked.

i said yep no worries

to my amazement. "it was one of the worst examples of a GTR" the inspector had seen.

the guy who was interested in my car, obviously didnt buy it.

another member on the forum, bought that car off me, but before he did i told him exactly what he was getting himself in to, that there needed to be some extensive repairs.

engine was perfect

driveline was perfect

just the body itsself. nothing on the panel side, just the chasis/underneath

i will definatly use these guys for the next car i buy! DEFINATLY WORTH IT

No, I'm pretty sure he had an Azerbaijani mum and his dad was from Burkina Faso. He was a kinda green colour and I think he had a purple arse.

Anyway, the dead giveaway was that he was dumb, racist and illiterate. Do NOT buy cars from anyone who matches this description.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
