Spotted this GTR up for auction in NT in a few weeks time

Might interest someone on here

I bought a series 4 RX7 in the same conditon about 15 years ago from auction.

Pretty much needed a fully dressed front cut to get ALL the bits needed to fix it.

take a lot of work to get it sorted. would only really be any good if you had a crashed car to take all the parts out of. basically the whole engine bay will need to be rewired, including headlights, etc.

If anyone is serious, talk to Arron from Importmonster

He just sold his car to re shell a crashed race car, so his old motor is for sale and I am sure you could chase up the wrecked one for the remaining parts like wiring, plastic bits and pieces etc.

Depending on price, I don't think it'd be that bad of a buy.

I personally have "all the parts" (that I can see needs to be replaced) to fix it, just from looking at the damage now.

Not sure how much damage there is on the actualy chassis - warping or the likes.

Hazard a guess, front shocks are gone, engine loom will be shot, inner guards,

- The fire looks contained, hasn't travelled far back - doesn't look like its hit the firewall at all.

Looks bad I reckon cause of the carbon fibre bonnet.

- Look at the radiator, I've seen worst condition radiators in cars that haven't gone up in flames.

Anyone know when this is going up for auction?

- Don't think the lister had an idea when putting it up.

11/01? Compliance date - well it looks date like on the plate.

And should be 6 speed.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
