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.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
