now the day has come for me to choose my GT-R :wassup: ...

i have the money and all but im stuck on what to buy since some cars are moded and some arnt for the same price but this is where the ODO and Images of condition come into play :)

Which car would you choose ?

The Gunmetal grey one from the auctions ( 2 images .rar ) has :

Skyline GT-R modified

Gunmetal

139,529km

Manual

17" Aftermarket wheels

CD player

PowerFC

Aftermarket airfilter

ORC Twin plate clutch

HKS EVC3 Boost controller

Exhaust

Aftermarket suspension

Condition note: Thumb sized dents on the front near side guard, on the passenger's door, on the quarter panel and the driver's door. Paint in good condition with light scratches. The car starts easily, drives well and goes hard. All the basic mods has been done for you to enjoy this ultimate machine.

$18500 Landed.

THE OTHER GUNMETAL GREY ONE :) :) :) :) : THIS IS WHAT I AM THINKING OF BUYING :) ....

HAS :

Skyline R32 GT-R

Gunmetal

64k

Manual

Aftermarket Exhaust

Otherwise stock

Condition note: my supplier have reported the car starts easily, drives fine without any noise and goes as it should. Good condition for its age with a perfectly straight body. Good paint condition and the tyres have 60% treads or thereabouts.

$17500 Landed

what do you think about the ODO ?

the white one is nice too :

R32 Skyline GT-R

White

Manual

121,000km

Completely stock

Condition note: the car is completely straight with no dents, paint in excellent condition and same goes for the interior. The engine doesn't blow smoke and the car drives fine. This is probably the better GT-R's I've come across lately. It may include service history.

$17500 Landed.

when you compare the interior/paint to the gunmetal grey one , the gunmetal grey one is what i like thats 17500 landed. and its a nice package. the white one seems to have lowerd suspension from the ride height shown.

also how much are N1 Bumpers ? and those aftermarket wheels from the auction car because i want those wheels and bar on my next car :)

Thanks

If it was me I'd go the white one coz i think 32's look great in white!

Although I do believe that you should go the 2nd or 3rd one as they are practically stock.

You wont have any probs trying to register it and you will have the full doing it up to suit your needs. There is also less chance of wear on the entire car.

take it easy

I assume that these are all 15 year old cars...

In which case, you might want to think whether 64,000kms in 15 years is really accurate.

Believe it or not, the Japanese drive their cars just as much as we do (8-12,000kms/year)... They pay so much for the priviledge of owning a car, believe me, they drive the bastards.

It is totally clean the 64k one and it shows its km's..price doesnt always judge things dude.

this is just to show how awsome the car with 64,000km's is... and i have chosen to get this since the condition is about nearly 2 times as good as the white one. and 3 times as good as the other gunmetal one.

I think the photographer needs to take better quality pics before you could really comment on the condition of the car.

I've been keeping a close eye on the R32 GTR cars on the Prestige list and their are plenty of cars that look awesome in the pics but have accident history, panel damage etc.

how can u tell from those photos? They both look the same.

and u ask for people opinions, dont have a go at sock cuz he isnt 104

i am not sooking, mate maybe if you read the details youd shutit... im asking for advice not stupid opinions from kids who havnt even driven a car.

I have driven a car, and you asked for an opinion and i gave you one, i am not 11, i gave you my opinion as you asked for the opinion of anyone who is looking at the thread, so either shut up or don't ask a question at all, i can give my opinion if i want to, its called democracy. :bs!: If you don't like what i said, ignore it, i didn't make you read what i said.

what do you guys think of this wonderful car ?

what do you think about the ODO ?

As you see you asked, and i answered, if you didn't want peoples opinions just shut up...

looks like you've already made up your mind what you want hehe

if i were you, i'd ask the agent that you're goin thru, or the importers agent in japan, whoever took those pics... to take a pic... under the rear wheel arch, of the driver's side seat, of the main car jack point under th car on the front and rear axle

oh and also make inquiries about the number written on the engine for the timing belt replacement date and km its done since. ask him to scour the engine bay for dates (in japanese so they'd read hesei 10 or something and then a month number).

personally I think the gunmetal one has had a new odo put in or a wound back one. the pics my agent sends me are close to 4 mb each, i'm sure he can do better than j-phone pics.

its still cleaner than the white one, but there's shifty business underfoot.

NO-ONE sells a 64000km GTR for that cheap, and if they do, its stolen.

aat the end of the sday they're all 15 years old and you get what you pay for.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
