Original manual and "how to drive your GTR" in leather compendium come with car.

I have owned the the car for 5 yrs having bought it after an idler pulley failure at 245,000km.

New RB26dett engine (3000km ago), clutch, brake rotors, pads and master cylinder have been fitted.

It is in excellent condition, drives very well, only needing some cosmetic improvements to be perfect.

I have many spares that could be part of a deal but will only sell the spares if the car is sold.

Spares include a complete engine needing head reconditioning. Short engine. 4WD R32 GTR gearbox. Nismo Group A spec RS 581 turbos. 700cc Sard injectors, Tomei cams. Aftermarket manifolds.

This is a rare, collectible car that will appreciate in the future but can be enjoyed and driven regularly now.

I would like a quick sale so asking $ 37,500

The first owner painted the car black after hitting a cat very early in the piece.

Apparently Black was a $5000 option.

I think all the Australian cars are a light grey under the bonnet.

The paint code KJ1G on the vehicle plate is for Jet Silver Metallic, not black that the car is painted. May explain the mis-matched engine bay colour.

Good luck with the sale.

Certainly not all silver under the bonnet, check the immaculate one for sale on the forum is still black under the bonnet. This is a great chance for someone to restore this thing and get a bargain.. Needing a full respray after hitting a cat though... Would be blown away if the front lip needed replacing..

First owner was apparently a well off dentist with a country practice in Bunbury.

I assume he actually wanted a black one in the first place.

Perhaps out of respect to the cat??

Under the bonnet certainly doesn't look as though its been changed.

That's my old car !

Can't believe it's been 5yrs since I had it up here on the forums for sale.

I still miss this one :(

The original motor clicked over 240,000kms before the idler pulley seized as the car was being parked. So valves will be bent in the old motors head. Worth grabbing the old engine so as to have matching numbers.

The dodgy on the paint code may have something to do with the owner previous to me having a this car and a silver one. The silver one had a black paint code from memory.

Is the new motor a reconditioned one Frank?

Someone buying this car will certainly be getting a nice GTR. Having owned a few , this one is my favorite. :D

Hi

Glad to hear you are still around. Time flies. I think its 5 yrs next month.

Certainly is your old car.

There was some head damage but basically it was quicker to get another motor at the time.

Planned to rebuild the old one with all the good bits but one of those things that hasn't happened.

Certainly have all the bits to build a really good one.

I would imagine whoever bought the GTR would want at least the old block.

The new motor is a R33 GTR. RB26dett

Rings, bearings and turbos overhauled. Goes very well.

Getting almost the same hp you were getting with just a little extra boost and a fairly standard motor.

GTR still goes well. Nice and tight. Scary fast.

Got in touch with the original owner's son who told me it was his mother's car mainly.

She had it painted black.

Like to sell to someone who will appreciate her.

Hi,

Do you still have your car?

Perhaps the cars could catch up?

Does anyone want to give me an offer???

:action-smiley-069:

This car probably sat next to mine in the dealership.

Free bump, great price.

This car is still for sale.

Asking $35,000 or near offer.

These are now quite rare. Cheap price due to r33 rb26dett engine and black paint.

Good value

Frank

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
