What do you know about this car?

I saw it just over a week ago at a panel beater near my work. They had the front stripped to quote. They do all the high end $300K plus cars

I have a spare $160K at the moment, stuff the house reno's. It goes to auction on the 24th. I think I might have a look. . .

hey Mate, if your keen i can ask my brother tomorrow whats up with it and get a very honest description and whats up with it from him

pm me your mobile and i can get him to call you if he will.....

I will check with the panel shop tomorrow and see what they say.

Looks like it could be a flood car

I buy new car parts and slip them under the magic bench in the workshop, but a whole car might be a bit hard to get past the wife.

She said no more cars. I have built 3 others since that comment. What is one more....

The only people stupid enough to bid on it were his mates or himself as you can see all of them have history with him and do you think the bidders names look alike or is it just me...

The names mean nothing anymore, they are randomly assigned but consistent to the same person.

How did you get all that history?

Cheers

You just log in and the info is there, you can see the same people bid on items off each other and give them perfect feed back, it is a way to build up your ratings.

thanks, found it. I thought it was a summary screen on all bidders then I realized you had put that shot together.

I would agree that the 2 highest bidders look a bit sus. But that said, good luck to them as it is not my money spent on that car. :P

Seriously, it would probably be less head f**k for the current owner to sell it to an import wrecker. Surely they would pay $5k for an M35 that has a fair number of good panels and a reasonable interior. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the drivetrain is ok too.

:P

What a waste of everyone's time...

(but hey it kept us amused for a bit.) :blink:

A CPV35 with interior fire sold for $6,000 the other day here and we estimated it to be worth $3,500 to $4,000 due to the punt you are taking not knowing what is salvageable... It was seriously burnt but I forgot to get a picture.

pickles?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
