Cheers guys, it started at 15k and came down, so maybe just wants to off load it quickly but it is in Bankstown....

probably some dodgy lebo owns it, thats been limiter bashed millions of times, and RB26's are glass engines haha.

1991 model not the pick of the 26 engines, due to short oil pump drive.

Those KM's aren't genuine, but then 95% of imports aren't.

The ATTESSA Clutches will be hurting at the moment as the tyres have different rolling diameters, i'd be pulling the 4wd fuse to drive it back, but then i'l be steering well wide of this car anyway.

I suspect that it's had other mods that have been taken off as the AFM wiring has been hacked at some point, and the inter cooler piping looks to be made up of bits and pieces.

It's missing the cam belt cover but no adjustable gears???

I'll put money on the fact that this example will cost you 25K before you get it running like a GTR that you would pay 20K for.

IF this has receipts it's a much better buy;

Even this one with receipts (but it's in WA);

dont buy it!

i bought a car off a lebo for cheap. it had a whole heap of mods on it, looked good with C-West bodykit etc.

aftermarket chrome turbo, front mount, power fc, full sound system, 3in exhaust.

it was a 99 WRX, i got it for $14k back 5yrs ago

but i found that the exhaust wasnt full 3in, it had some parts which were 3in, some 2.5, some stock!

the ecu wasnt even tuned properly for the car, and the motor was blown! it only made 110kw

i put so much money into getting it right with a full 2.5sti block.

only to be defected, and then find the best part!

underneath the car you could see the shonky welds from a major crash, and there was a hole left in the floor where they didnt match the half cut up properly. it would've cost heaps to get it rewelded and approved so i just sold it as a wreck to someone interstate who wanted to use it as a track car, because it pushed out 215awkw and was punchy as!

lesson learnt about imports which seem too cheap to be true!

if it is lower than the rest of the market, there is usually a damn good reason why, not just. "i'm moving interstate"

pfft everybody uses that one!

just like "genuine 87,000kms lady owner"

Yeah as Dale said, having different rolling diameters on the tyres is a big no no for GTR's.

Edit: that sounds like a story I heard of a guy buying a 270z and crashed it and the cops found it was 2 cars welded together at the chassis lol.

I was just having a look on car sales before there's a few nice 32 gtr's in sa for sale, personal preference for import cars like that is to buy in the same state specially this state, trying to get things over regency is a major pita

Thanks guys,

You all have saved me what would of been an expensive lesson no doubt. Patience is needed and yes he is a Lebo as well.

Cheers,

Dan.

What are you looking at spending on a GTR?

I agree , this dudes gonna get raped at regency , everyone on SAU will get the " can i borrow this to get through regency " lol

My opinion. Don't buy a GT-R unless you've got deep endless pockets. Also don't cheap out on buying a GT-R. Take your time, look around. They won't all be perfect these days, but look for the one thats not going to cost you another $20k to get it running how a GT-R should.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
