Guys,

Apart from Ice Performance or Race Pace, where is the best place to get a pre-purchase inspection on a GTR? I know a few places have been mentioned here, but are there any good mechanics or panel beaters you would recommend....

Anyone from here think they can do the job?

Cheers.

CR34tion.

The guys accross the road do a lot of work on GTR's, they have actually just rebuilt a RB26DETT from an R-32.

the other people who I would suggest is Hyper-Tech Autosports in Vermont. They just serviced my car and they prepare a lot of Targa cars, and race cars, and have a very professional workshop. They are at www.hyper-tech.com.au

Tell them I sent you.

Its pretty hard to get a proper inspection on a GTR though.. a friend had the same problem. Basically they either cbf, or don't want the hassle if they make a mistake in looking at it. They'll really only give you a basic "looks ok", even many of the performance shops even if they deal with GTR all day. I told him that, course he didn't believe me... he took it to a few shops and whatya know they said exactly the same "all we'd really recommend for sure is to give it a full workout and see what snaps". If it don't break "its good"

Bass Junky> Would i have to make an appointment with the dudes across from you and how much would they charge?

Hyper-Tech are very dodgy... i have heard many stories about them which i don't know if i should share..... I brought my previous car there for pre-purchase inspection.

I will never go there again.

Only go to Hypertech if you have lots of money you no longer need. they are a joke. I made the mistake of going there when I first got my car because I thought they were the best due to the Gibson relationship. What they are really good at is making things up so you fork out $$$ so they can afford their Targa cars.

I will also never go there again.

The car has been previously inspected by Race Pace when another purchaser was planning to buy it. They said it was a great car... apart from the usual little things, hence they don't wanna inspect again and they don't do inspections now cos of certain events.

Should i just take their word for it cos i can't seem to find anybody else...

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
