Norton written off??? Nooooooooooooooooooo...

Dunno the history but this car used to be parked out the back of my work in Belco daily about 5-6 years ago.

Was owned by a Computer Geek?? Asian fella.

Loved looking at it everyday. Was a Gorgeous Black R32 GTR with vented Bonnet. I'm drooling now!!!

saw it maybe 2 years ago in Mitchell near Gentech.

I have pics...

Well it's a repairable writeoff that is at Pickles. Looks like some serious side and rear end damage. Going halves with a mate depending on cost.

Looks like plenty of bolt ons. Will be having a closer look tmw AM.

Thanks for the pics and replies, it has awesome wheels on it now that would look good on my firdy free but I assume one is cactus.

Cheers

This is the one a pickles right now. I'd never seen it before about 4 months ago when I noticed it parked in the back lot of Pedders in Phillip. Either rear left or rear right (can't remember exactly lol) looked like it had hit a gutter at speed sideways coz the wheel looked like it had about 40 degrees of positive camber. Was there for ages just sitting so when I heard it had ended up at pickles I just assumed that they were assessing the damage.

Hope this helps

The car was pretty rough. A lot of the visible GTR specific stuff had damage or wear. The only thing that looked neat were the seats.

- The original Aluminum bonnet had been cut and vented instead of an entire aftermarket job.

- GTR front bar was damaged

- GTR rear wing was damaged

- GTR front guard was damaged

- GTR rear guard was damaged

- Oil leaks from engine somewhere.

- GTR cradle mounts were broken

- Control arms were bent

- PowerFC hand controller was missing

- Coolant was low or not there

- Dash appeared to be broken or tampered

At that point I bumped into a mate who said they were going to bid more than I was and stopped up looking.

I wondered why it was also not bought back. The damage from the crash was not bad, probably fixed for about 4.5k in a shop. It didn't look stolen/recovered (had an alarm and assumed immobiliser installed), so it was most likely "driven" into the crash. It appeared to have some goodies installed too like the PowerFC, maybe upgraded injectors, had different fuel fittings, an oil cooler, massive exhaust, aftermarket FMIC.

I think fixed, it should sell for at least 12k. I was going to wreck it down with a mate if it was in our price range.

Anyway, I do wonder if my mate bought it. I might try to find out tomorrow.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
