Hey guys been browsing through this website http://www.japimports.jp/Japanese_Auctions.html for a while out of curiosity as I will be in the market for an R33 GT-R soon.

There's been nothing tickling my fancy locally and I'm pretty much set on importing again for an series 3 R33 GT-R just like I did with my R32 4 years ago.

Here's what I'm talking about and interested in now:

Number of lot: 65006 / Auction: USS Tokyo

From what I can gather it has history books, very low suspect mileage and what seems to be overall pretty good condition with some good scores.

Ideally I was going to go full steam ahead in 2 months time for my search, but If anyone could get me more detailed information on this car, what this car might sell for or anything on their services would be much appreciated - If it falls within my budget I could be seriously ready to talk.

Cheers

Steve.

Honestly I just saw it this morning, what a guess! We actually threw a bid in it but was at 1.5 mil. I told my boss that it will most likely go higher but he said he didn't want to pay more than his bid. lol

I knew I should have charged more for that crystal ball I sold you.

lol damn gypsies! I can't tell one from another lol :devil:

i had a guy inspect this car and he said it had light repairs, and some corrosion underneath? he also said the auction papers state that..does it?

this car sold for 20kaud, if that was the case what should his fees be, imported and complied?

what is the reasonable fee for someone bringing a car in for you?

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
