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.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
