Evo's good yesss but how often do you see a gtr compared to a evo ? i sold my evo cause it got sickening every tom dick harry and jack has one.

And yet you also sold your R34 V spec II Nur....I believe you had a 34 gtr before the Nur too and also sold that

Lol.. Buying a GTR is never about logic first of all..

Second 10-15k will not make an evo drive anything like what sinisters 34 will

GTR is a great car. R32 r33 and r34. Never doubted that. I am a former GTR owner. I personally think spending 60k + on a 34 gtr, stock or modded, is just not very ideal considering highly modified r33 gtrs are going for less than 30k and drive pretty much the same as r34. Evos on the other hand, they are just weapon. 15k can pretty much cover a rebuilt motor, FP red or green turbo, E85 setup and E85 tune and can get you around 350awkw.

Anyway what it comes down to, is the buyer's preference. Just my two cents

Well if you wanted to look at my car history i've had 3 GTR's now having owned both evo and gtr at the same time i ended up with the GTR at the end ;)

that being said i would choose evo over gtr for daily

well back to the original questions lol has anyone seen this GTR before http://www.carsales....2/?Cr=7&sdmvc=1

still have a few more to inspect. Cheers guys !

few things with that GTR

1. He has not bothered to move it when he washed it, so the dude is lazy.

2. he has not bothered to clean the interior properly at all, so the dude is really lazy.

3. he didn't even wipe the engine over, takes two seconds.

4. the mods themselfs look alright, though it looks like he has pretty much done them on the cheap and that worries me.

5. the lack of interior photos makes me wonder what the condition of the rest of the interior is in.

With just those alone ^^ makes me wonder what hidden gems there are on that car.

not sure on the specifics of the Z tune bonnet but i know CF bonnets unless ADR approved (that one might be?) will not pass a RWC.

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. But that's just me.

thanks for the info - im guessing this is just on the basis of the ad right ? or have you seen the car in person by any chance ?

cheers mate :)

Info? Its just guess work based off some low quality dodgy camera photos.

If you are interested in the car you need to go see it.

I would ask:
Are the turbos stock (It is an odd way to modify a car with an ECU, fuel system when the limiting factor is the turbros). Also who tuned it?

Has it had a front end accident? I would ask this because new bonnet, front lip, pods, radiator tend to indicate it may have. I would have a good look at it for signs of front end damage and repair.

I agree, of course the best way to inspect the car would be to fly down there and check it out myself, but if someone else has seen it in person and has picked what you just said then it saves me an inspection and flight down to vic which i could use to fly and check someone else's gtr :)

thanks for the info bud, definitely going to ask what you just said :)

Well the other fun question to ask is who imported and complied it. Will be on a plate somewhere I think or the owner should know. If it is one of the less reputable car yards then you have saved yourself and airfare.

based on the adds.

And i would also agree it has had a front end hit.

Just asked him, just seems more suspicious as he takes so long to reply and delays sending me photos of the car, its like his not serious in selling it, thanks for the opinion/advice guys helps a lot considering it will be my first gtr !

however end up spending more if it has been taken care of like crap - but if it is in good condition then yes could potentially be a bargain !

Well to be fair some people in this world are busy or don't have everything at their finger tips. Doesn't make them dodgy, just busy.

It is nice looking, but the last line of the add says not a V Spec

Sales ploy to get better price ?/

You'll probably find the carsales is so crap that you cant list a non vspec or they just screwed up the add. Anyway there are only 9 cars listed so what difference does it make? They said its not correct and to be honest if it was me I wouldn't be paying a premium for V specery.

Would be much more interested in confirming the mileage.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
