No. Look at these:

A) The sheer amount of rust and $$$ needed to fix up the body work.

From what you can see the outside of the quarters have rust on the bottom edge, underneath in the wheel arch, there is bound to be more.

B) The CAS, it has a LOT of build up on it which means it's been near the sea (hence rust)

That means it'll potentially have lots of electrical problems at some stages due to corroded connectors and stuff which might cost you a small fortune to find.

C) Km's doesnt really speak much for the condition. It's very poor for 130thou Km's

I've seen many cars that old come out very clean, so the km's maybe wound back.

aggggg!! not that one.. if that is the rust you CAN see, imagine how much rust underneath you CANT see! That thing will be attrotious rust bucket - not what you really want in a car that can do 250km/hr+. There are basic structural tests the car has to pass even if its 15 years old - that car probably wouldn't make it even onto the road.

And its been repainted, and by the looks of things not properly blasted back or treated before just slapping the paint over the top.

its good for parts, and that is about it.

The blurb says that it is not OK to register as is.

Why is it so?

My wife pointed out the wheels, and they appear to have only 4 studs?????????????

Could be a NA with an RB26 transplant and a nice "R" badge.

All in all. Does not look good but for parts only. It's rubbish.

even if i had the money and time and lets say i was a spray painter etc..it would still be a bitch to cut all the rust out..there is alos rust in the engine bay...a car like that if not started regulary the engine would have alot of rust possibly on internals etc.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
