hang on...you were buying only to import it then sell it to make money....you ask an online forum *after* you pay for it what it would be worth....and then you say its bullsh1t that $500 isn't refundable?

who said i was going to sell it straight away.. i would be selling it about a year later...

why is everyine saying im in it to make a bit of money..

I said my main goal was to not loose any money when I sell it.. It says it up there in the 1st post.............................So i dont know why every1 is going on abou tthat 4.

Selling a car is a prick, and every ass wants to "get a deal" and pay less than its worth.

Selling a car is prick.

The beauty, however, is that cars always sell for what they're worth, that's what they're worth to the buyer not the seller, and that's the way it will always be.

I'd say most owners are far too attached to their car to be objective. At the end of the day it's 15+ year old out of date car that's not getting any newer, to expect to get near 27k for it down the line is wishful thinking.

Ask yourself, would you pay around 27k for what will going on a 17 year old thrashed out piece of claptrap in 2005/6? You'd have to be nuts.

89 sell for 400-700k yen +fob

modifed ones are cheaper

so that orks out to about 15k on the road

so its not a wish... there is one sitting im my garadge

not 89 are selling for more now because of demand pushing bu price up to about 800k yen

i know of at least 6 other 89 gtr bought for a similar price

for the cars i have seen a 800k one would be very tidy with some tasty mods

even the 600k one are very nice

400k will have some rust(generally at the rear of the doors or whee they have been hit(all of them have been hit)

and im sure all the engine are pretty tired but its getting cheap to rebuild gtr motors

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • 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.
