Stephen took me for a drive when I was looking for my GTR and it was a very nice car. Full papers from Japan including purchase documents! Bone stock too mechanically down to exhaust.

Exactly what I was after. Definately not easy to find a completely stock (down to the original exhaust) bayside blue vspec in immaculate condition.

I remember calling him ready to book plane tickets to come grab it - but he already had someone local that was ready to buy and pay a premium.

May be sold by now as this was from memory, almost 6 months ago.

I just some how got lucky a few weeks ago when its sister popped up for sale in Sydney.

I got mine locally, unless your getting something from say global auto that is unreal, or you can go to japan and pick a car out for yourself. I wouldnt really import one. Just being able to look at a car locally and get a feel for the owner is the best i found.

Also you can bargain locally better.

I was very happy with my local purchase.

My advice is to look across Australia dont rush and you will find something eventually , i spent a year to find two great cars!

Be aware of cars in Queensland espescially , make sure ADRs are completed as people get away with just seatbelts , my first GTR was unbelievably registered in Queensland with no intrusion bars , child restraints ETC . Also watch for half cuts + accident repairs

Hi guys,

So it has been a few months now and I am still looking.

I have decided that it is 100% a Bayside blue V-Spec II I want and missed out on a beautiful example in Tasmania recently.

Anyway, it looks like I will now engage an importer and start looking in Japan as I could be waiting quiet a while to find a BB V-Spec II locally.

I will let you all know how I go.

If I can't find a car locally I will go through Aaron at Import Monster to find me one in Japan.

Local Melbourne business for me and have been dealing with him for years.

Hey mate....I went through the same thing before i got mine. I ended up getting a 99 non vspec in bayside blue, which is the colour i wanted. very clean and all original. it took me 6 months to find though. but was much better seeing it in person for myself and taking it for test drive.

There is a Vspec II Nur for sale in melbourne & Gran Turismo autos on spencer st. its very nice. didnt ask what the price was but it looks great.

anyway hope u find what you are looking for.

cheers

Thanks everyone for all the advice over the last few months, it has been much appreciated. The search is over, I have just bought a car.

I have purchased a VS2 from WA, you might have seen it, plates are VSPEC2.

Can't wait to get it over here to Melbourne!

Just read the rest of that thread - let's hope your purchase isn't a HIRISK venture ;)

Should be fine, dealing with Collin ha been all good to date, we have been talking regularly.

Ouch. Some of the things said in that thread are not very nice.

Also hoping it all works out for you mate and hope the issues with the motor in the previous for sale ad are now also 100%.

Nice car, i'm sure you will love it.

Regards.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
