Morning all,

Was looking to buy this GTR on Saturday and I am chasing some opinions - good / bad, to see if it's worth it or a lemon? Any input would be valued.

Cheers,

Or carsales.com.au, GTR badge - price low to high - $13900.

(Am slightly computer illiterate).

hmmm i would of said a little cheap, so since its so cheap you would want a leak down test on it and full roadworthy

could be about to go bang and there's 10k for a rebuild or 4-5k for a engine you know nothing about

if buying from interstate , make sure its pretty stock ,

you will have to take it through Regency for full inspection - they will treat the car like an import and treat you like a piece of shit . lol

Make sure all ADRs are followed through when imported - eg , side intrusion bars , child restraints if you do buy!!!!

Looks to cheap give it a miss .

looks and sounds awesome, but sounds a little weired that it so cheap, but the thing i cant understand if you where selling a car so cheap why would u replace 4 tyres not to mention the sizes they are thats over a grand easy up to two depending what brands.

yea its hard these days with so many jap cars with "genuine kms" hard to tell the people who are being honest,from the dodgy ones. including importers

could just be like my engine which has been replaced with a low kilometer engine.. or it could have sat in a jap car yard for years you never know..

worth a $38 flight to sydney

13 Oct 10, Wed TT 8902 ADL 06:55 hrs SYD 09:15 hrs Sale Fare 38.95 AUD

Cheers mate, flying into sydney on Friday from work then planned to drive it back - if it was ok. I know enough about GTST's, not so much GTR's. How does compression test work, as in a NRMA type or mechanics?

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
