Can I ask why you are selling?

A quick search shows that you put a deposit on this car only 4 months ago, and it was seen getting a respray recently.

A quick search will also tell you that I was never happy with the quality of the Nissan paint and was debating from day one if I was going to wrap it in Matte Black or get it resprayed in a better quality job than Nissan.

If you are implying that the car was involved in an accident and required it to be re-sprayed then you are just trying to stir up trouble and are dead wrong. I spent $1000 on a professional polish on the car and was still not happy with the job so while I went overseas for 3 weeks I had it over at file finish getting a re-spray so when I got back it would be BETTER than new.

I belong to numerous forums and there are alot of people out there that know the vehicle and myself personally and I take offense to what you are insinuating with your question. Once the car is sold I think it will become clear why I sold it.

ah do you have pics? I guess mainly because the colour is now....??

It's still black. It's just a better quality paint job. Why Nissan decided to put the same quality paint as a Nissan Micra on a $180K car is beyond me.

My question was "Can I ask why you are selling?", I do not see why you "take offense at what you are insinuating with your question".

Prospective purchases, like myself, are going to ask questions, especially when they see a car being sold after only four months of ownership and when they see a full respray on a young car.

Getting defensive just turns people away.

If you are not interested and capable of purchasing this vehicle, then do not post in the thread.

Send the OP a PM if you want general tyre kicking info.

Warnings will be handed out in future.

Dan, I don't have 10 posts yet so I can't PM.

in the R35 section I would think that he would be perfectly justified asking the question, if I was him, after the response he got, I would be thinking twice about this car, but even if it enables him to make a decision about buying an R35 (if it was being sold due a problem which he was not willing to put up with).

P.S., whatever, warn me, I am sticking up for the little fella, just like ACA

I guess I will have to set the record straight. The car has not been resprayed due to a accident or anything like that. As we all know Black paint is one of, if not the hardest colors to keep from scratching. The joke is that if you look at black paint the wrong way it will scratch. Now I am not talking about paint removing scratching but more the fine spider web imperfections that you can see swirled across a black car in certain lights. That is what my car had, to almost everyone else they wondered what I was talking about as the car looked great in most light conditions but I always knew it was there.

I have been told that the original black R35 GTR paint is approx half the thinkness of BMW paint (Using a paint meter) my car also had the standard amount of stone chips associated 20,000K's of driving a GTR. The semi slick tyres spray up alot of stones onto the quarter in front of the rear tyre, the factory clear bra is not even remotely large enough to stop the chipping in the paint. If the original paint was thicker it would have a better impact resistance.

All i have done is improve on the original Nissan paint by putting further color layers and further clear coats in the hope of making it more scratch resistant. Just like when you buy a new car and they ask if you want further paint protection at an extra cost.

The GTR black is not much good and neither is the white from what I have read. I had no intention of selling the car hence why I did the mods and was willing to spend money on improving the paint work. My original thought process was to get the car wrapped in Matte Black which is what I always wanted but I thought that if I ever get sick of the wrap or something went wrong with the wrap over time and I wanted to pull it off I would be back at square one again.

It also took me 2 months to find someone that I was comfortable in doing the work on the car. I finally went with File Finish after being recommended to them by another Black R35 GTR owner as they do mostly exotic car work. i.e Bentley, Lambo, Ferrari and have the contract with Aston Martin in Melbourne to do all their painting.

However, things change and as some of you know I am partial to Audi's (I own an A5 coupe as well) and a nice V10 R8 has presented itself for sale and my thoughts were that if I had a few bites on the GTR and it sold it would leave me in a position to by the R8. I am not financially able to buy the Audi without selling the GTR. That is the reason for the sale not because there is something wrong with the car. I didn't feel that I needed to justify the sale of the vehicle hence why I never gave a reason for the sale.

More posts removed.

Dan has already made it quite clear, either follow the advice, or warnings will be handed out.

DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU ARE INTERESTED.

Posting a page of dribble and then "bump for a nice car" will not get you off.

If you are not interested and capable of purchasing this vehicle, then do not post in the thread.

Send the OP a PM if you want general tyre kicking info.

Warnings will be handed out in future.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • 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.
