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.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
