Is This A Good Deal?

Look, you've created two threads tonight basically about the same thing. Do some research, use the search function and try and avoid driving a prohibited vehicle on your Ps. I'm a red P plater, I did my hours in a g6e turbo, which is not a slow car. I really wanted something quick but I had to accept the fact that its not worth losing 3 points for a few extra kws. I bought a 300gt sedan, legal and still enjoyable to drive as well as looking awesome.

Buy it, lose your license. As others said in the other thread, it's your call. But you came on these forums for advice, don't be a sook when someone gives their opinion.

I hope you get done by the popo and get raped by them with no courtesy spit. Will be good karma after all the warnings.

This is the attitude that gives ammo to the cops. Cocky and bigheaded-ness thinking they can get away with it.

Idiot.

Hey guys im just wondering do you think a 2003 350GT coupe in white with around 70,000km and a year of rego is a good deal at around $15000?

If the car is in good condition and mechanically sound then yes,

if not then no

way to hard to answer the question. how long is a piece of string kinda answer.

If/when you drive it on your Ps you have NO insurance ..... I know you keep saying you are not going to drive it, but how stupid do you really think we are? FYI if/when you hit a Bentley, be assured as you are illegally driving a prohibited car you will have NO insurance, and will be paying off the Bentley for the rest of your natural born life.

As for your question, how long is a piece of string? Without pics, specs (you haven't even stated whether it is manual or auto, premium or non-premium), REAL indicated km (pretty much EVERY V35 bought into Australia by any variety of car dealer has had the km would back), and extensive condition report, how could we possibly have an opinion on value?

If it is mint, then $15k is a very good price. If it is a dog, then I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole (but is still a pretty good price - it is a LOT of car for the money imho, regardless of condition as long as undamaged).

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
