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.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
