Hi guys, been a while since I've posted, but I'm still lurking about.

Ive been keeping an eye out, browsing classifieds etc, but still haven't decided to buy anything.

I have however noticed huge discrepancies in pricing on what seem like fairly similar cars, particularly with V-Specs. Prices are all over the place.

Here's two examples, one has a few mods, but the other, the cheaper one is more original.

This one looks cleaner, but is $10K less? Surely the one above isn't 10K better?

These are just two examples, I've found a number, the same goes for r33's but not really looking for one of those...

Easily repainted?

Don't like clear corner indicators though...

Lol, theres a place in Perth that import GTRs. On every one of them the paint is mint.

Its such a stupid thing to be putt off by. Anyone can paint them. Hell, my old car had a bit of paint coming off it, yet it was a fresh engine - some people don't care.

Fair enough, I realise it's easy to hide... I'm just being super picky

That second R32 Vspec you linked is mine. I do have import paperwork with the ks that are on it. Its a very honest and tidy car. Im a bit surprised it hasnt sold, I wouldnt if I didnt have my eye on something else.

Paint on the plenum can be a guide, but the reality is that if its been pressure washed at all in the engine bay the paint is the first to go. Wouldnt be that hard to touch up, if your that way inclined. Look for signs of overspray, if its all fesh looking and black, cause its very unlikely to have been removed to be painted, unless the engine is out.

Looks good mate, and well priced by comparison to others around. Its a buyers market right now, supply outweighs demand. Good luck with it.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
