Been looking for an R33 GTR and came across this one on car sales : Here

It's only $8,800 and doesn't state any problems on the listing. I've sent an email off to the seller for his contact details to inspect the car but I'm yet to receive the details.

Has anyone seen this car before? Or know why it's so cheap? Or maybe it's a typing error :wacko:

Someone after a quick sale will shave a grand or two off the price of what most are going for. Someone after your cash will halve it :)

Excuse the ignorance but how do they intend to scam someone in this case?

Surely people aren't paying online before seeing the car or something...

Oh yes they are...no matter how stupid a scam may seem there's always someone in the world stupid enough to fall for it :(

How they come across / save the money in the first place is beyond me...

Confirmed to be a scam :)

Email from scammer:

Hi and sorry for my late reply,

I confirm that the car is immaculate technically and aesthetically speaking.

There is no outstanding finance on the car, also the car comes with a full service history and RWC.

The last price, including door to door delivery, is $8800 .

I love this car and I am very upset at having to sell it.

It has served me well but I just moved to High Wycombe, WA and I can't afford to keep it and I need the money fast so I can pay off some debts.

The car was advertised on eBay as well and I will run the transaction only under their terms and conditions for our own protection.

We will use eBay Buyer Protection Program (BPP) which will hold the payment until you receive the car.

Your funds will be 100% insured by eBay.

You will have 5 days inspection period, so you'll be able to see and inspect the car before buying it.

If you don't like the car after inspection or is not as I've describe it, you can reject the deal.

If you need more information regarding the transaction just visit the following web page from eBay 's website :

http://ebay-australia-bpp.center-au.biz//Buyer-Protection-Program/OVERVIEW/QQ6577457745784

If you are interested in this car please provide me the following details in order to start the transaction through eBay :

-Your Full Name and Shipping Address

-Your eBay ID

-Any negative feedback and if so .... for what reason .

Kind regards,

Dianne Sullivan

And an email from carsales :)

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
