Been looking for a clean unmolested 94 32gtr for a while, im not saying yours is but to get it there ill need to spend time and more importantly money to freshen it up or at least match the body kit colour to the rest of the car as well as freshen up the interior. Especially it being a 94 V-SPEC 2 it should all be kept in immaculate condition. I like that I'll get to see it all done myself as I tend to keep my cars long term.

I've made some calls and so far I'm looking at $3000 for a respray to match everything, and either $600 for a clean set of 32gtr seats or $2000 to get r34 gtr seats (haven't decided yet). If the timing belt hasn't been done I'll be looking at replacing it then getting other belts, bearings and seals done for peace of mind, and considering its a 200,000km+ motor a head recondition would also be a good idea.

I'm not including the cost of the dash and other interior bits because these things are expected of a car with this amount of km but I do need to consider the rest - money you're asking Id expect it to be in immaculate condition. I'm sure you understand this.

Hey mate, I don't know what your talking about in getting the body kit colour matched, it's the same colour already. If you want to get new seats that's your choice, the only one with an issue is the driver side one and it's very minor. All belts and fluids were done just before 200,000km (had it's major 100,000km service done then, have receipts) so you don't need to do those. Basically at the end of the day if you want to do all that stuff, that's fine but that is your problem and not mine. If you don't like the price and you expect an immaculate VSpecII for $17000 then go and find one somewhere else.

I'm getting sick of having to come in here and deal with these sorts of posts. I shouldn't have to. The rules clearly state if you don't like the price then don't comment on it. Use PM, that's what it's for.

Ok enough reporting - Joe's post is not out of line, unlike the others who've been dealt with.

Joe is simply going over the estimated costs to get the car to a certain level which is based on the information / pictures you've supplied based on what else is currently on the market.

There is a point of being reasonable here.

    • 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.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
