They may or may not be associated with a company that used to operate in the same area. I dealt with them when I was originally looking at brining in an ECR33 S2. The company I dealt with was called Leisure Vehicles. I'm not saying this is the case so do the right thing and check them out but if it's the same operation under a different name I'd stay well clear of them. I know for a fact they were bringing in banged up cars when customers specifically requested no damage cars and fixing them in backyard panel shops. The old place used to be on Stud Road near Mountain Highway.

If this isn't then case then I know nothing about then other that they've been there a while now :)

get what you pay for.

if you have found a GTR thats cheap. pay a little bit more to get it check out by a mechanic or RACV of somthing. could be hidden horror's.

like i've heard of Banana Peals in the diff's to make them quiet.

but then again it could be a bargin you've found. post a link to someone who know's a fair bit, that ways its private and not everyone can see it.

P.S i have not dealt with this dealer.

I know someone that managed to bargain his way down from 21k to 17k for a 33GTR in Brisbane. First time I saw that car I thought it looks like a gtst with gtr kit and the condition is just shit, not to mention it runs like a dog and make weird noises. I'm not saying the one you're looking is dodgy, anything is possible and maybe you did find a bargain.

Like TJ said, if its really that cheap, it wouldnt hurt to pay a bit more to get a full proper inspection done which will probably gonna cost a few hundreds only comparing to your savings.

Just did a search on google for that dealer and founf someone bought his 35gtr here from that dealer. Maybe it pays to PM him.

Ahh thanks for the replies, I don't have my 10 posts yet so I can't PM :) aww but that's alright, the car is priced well I guess, it's very very clean the seller wants 20k on road its an r32. So its reasonable for the condition but my budget is like 18k so I hope he can drop the price for me, then again its an importer so he should be able to. Heres to hoping :mrt:

20k??? I dont suppose you're looking at this are you?

20k for a 32GTR isnt really cheap comparing to that 33GTR I mention. I think the price is reasonable (I find anywhere between 18-25k is reasonable). The way the website presents itself looks alright and if they can bring in 35GTRs, I dont suppose they can be that bad. Good luck with the negotiation.

its been cleaned up really nice.

interior, has been looked after (hand brake boot, gear boot, gear knob, steering wheel) no sign of abuse.

carpet is in good use also. from what i can see, not boost controller which is a bonus

Yeah its pretty much factory fresh, except for strut braces front and rear and new suspension. No signs of abuse anywhere on the car

honestly if i was to buy a 32 R i would be replacing the diff, clutch and exhaust, wheels and seats at a minimum, and when it gives up, the motor too so i'd be looking for one a lot cheaper than that :mrt:

srsly tho, it looks clean, but pls dont think that the 103,000 km is accurate

20k is a lot of money when compared to $200 for a full inspection

Yeah It's quite a bit, do you think that race pace would do an inspection as they are right around the corner. I don't really think that RACV would have too much of a clue about these types of cars. I would probably be leaving the car as is until i get used to it and then catch the modifying bug :mrt: Yeah I'm not too sure about the km's although it does have the timing belt sticker on the cam gear cover saying it was done at 96,000km.

im with you hamish, do diff, clutch, get the gearbox checked, get engine tested, turbo's checked. oil setup checked. and if i see a boot controller im out of there.

thats the horror with old GTR's they may of had a hard life.

i recently bought my R34...i didn't use RACV as they don't know shit about imports...i used StateRoads...really great!! they go into great detail and present a 6 page report to you! highly reccommend!!

Yeah It's quite a bit, do you think that race pace would do an inspection as they are right around the corner.

call them and ask... I wouldn't bother with RACV... if the dealer won't let racepace inspect it walk away... quickly

what are you talking about Adz... I get bread and milk in mine... just do a couple of limiter launches on the way home :);):(

Yeah I tried to call race pace today but no answer so I sent them an e-mail, I hope I'll get a responce tomorrow. Thanks for all the input guys, I'll have to make a list of stuff to check :D

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
