He's got a point, rust is rust. I don't see anything wrong with people knowing what they're buying.

If you are not hiding anything, there is no reason to get worked up.

Unfortunately rust there most likely means it's the result of poor prep work when spraying that area and possibly poor treatment of rust there prior to the spray.

This is why I would never buy a car with a respray, you will never know what has been hidden till a few years later.

That being said 13.5k plus a good rub back and new paint you will have a tidy GTR for 16k.

Good luck

fair enough buyers need to know what they buy, but implying im untruthful and saying there is rust in the car .. that can be blown up into a million different things .. i wonder how he knew about this rust ? did santa tell him ??

I think any car of the same age you will find some sort of rust!

I remember hearing of certain cars having rust within the first 5 years!

Falcon i think might have been one with rust on the pillar? Could be wrong!

Car is still a bargain. Pm sending now mate.

Don't worry about this guy anyway, Much more vital information has been left out of for sale threads in the past.

Real nice car and screw the rust critics....

Rust is common on any area of seams and rubber seals. As water over times is absorbed into the rubber causing the metal Around or under to swell and the paint onto to rise.

This is also very common on sunroofs, Door seams, window seams ect.. Buyer’s don’t need to be PUT off your car by you being OVER honest about the car when advertising. You are selling the car and making an attractive sale. If people want it,... COME LOOK AT IT! If u don’t like it shut up walk away and be happy ur money is still in " your pocket".

As far as it goes i love your car mate! Im trying to sell my Hilux to buy a 32 GTR! Hope u still have it when i sell my hilux!

:):)

I agree, you're bloody nuts! I'm tempted to buy it and I've only just sold my R32 GTR last November for $21k haha

saw one for 19k ... 160 or so kwatws ... =/ the f**k is that shit ? car was clean but some1 needs an engine????

20k gtrs = Very Fast Quick Clean !

years ago i ran 244kws awhile ago checking af mixures and timing ... stock ecu

wonder how much power u can get out of pfc on stock psi

  • 3 months later...

any possibility of more pics? maybe some of undercarriage, interior and more of the outside etc...

also would you be open to taking to a well known jdm garage for a inspection?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
