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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
