That guy is dodgy, read the questions to the seller at the bottom of the ad.

As soon as someone asked the key question about weather it was an insurance write off or statutory write off he goes all difficult and avoids the question.

That was the first thing I noticed too, he went straight on the defensive.

I hope someone doesn't buy this expecting to get it up and going and registered with out $3500 worth of repairs, I think there is going to be more around the $6000 - $8000 and that's if it can be re-registered.

I reckon it was the smartest question of the lot. . . . . If the owner had the correct papers he would be boasting it everywhere . . .

I reckon he bought it hoping to repair it but made a crucial mistake and is left with an expensive wreck.

Imagine the questions he did not answer or post on the ad . . . .

Anyone got a user account on this & care to see what happens?

FWIW the compliance is legit;

hmmm i asked if it was a stat write off and he said its 'NOT' in capitals. so im asking for paperwork. insurance has had someting to do with it as it doesnt have rego. im 100% sure this car came from edward lees in june last year and i drove it ;)

anyway, he said GMS spares has an M35, so ive asked if they are seperating it (ECU + bits for me)

the auction finishes in 2 days dude ;)

or are you talking about the one at GMS spares?

I figure he wont sell it myself. if its still there on thurs I'll look at it friday.

he seems to think every car thats ever had an accident and claimed under insurance is classified as a repairable write-off. wtf??

if its anything like up here then it probably true. repairable writeoffs can be total losses and still be listed that way.

easy way to solve this is to ring the RTA in the morn with the chassis number.

radio will be a waste anyway - its JDM and old.

yeah i owned a total loss but it was repairable. so i repaired it lol

but not EVERYTHING as he seems to think. anyway i didnt get a reply to my asking if i can see it today. so im guessing thats a no. probably sus anyway, seems that the finance company still has an interest in it. anyone who buys it i HOPE they do a revs check........

first thing he says is its for sale on behalf of a friend.at the end of the page that he just added it says quote *

now another point is when I originally purchased the car I purchased it under finance., when I purchased it the finance required me to have insurance, now that the insurance has paid me and the finance company out so it should of all been cleared. however for some strange reason its still listed on revs with finance owing, so I will call the finance company prior to auction ending and make sure that they clear it off there systems.

I hope this clears up many questions.

im afraid it all sound way too dodgy to me

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
