I'm scarred.

The car does have a little damage where somebody has tried to jimmy the door open. Also the front bar is a little damaged to (someone tried to remove it)

The car does have a little bit of white smoke coming out the exhaust however after a few revs it went away and didnt come back.

Anyway the price is such that I could afford to fix the door and a turbo even 2 if need be a still be doing ok.

Apart from that I checked the car thoroughly and it looks good.

* Checked the radiator for white deposits near the cap - none.

* No rust in the boot.

* No unusual sounds from drivetrain, gbox or engine.

* No perceivable leaks engine or otherwise

* Interior clean.

* Rest of panels straight.

* Engine sounded good and normal.

* 70k on clock (who really knows)

* 95 model

* 400r side skirts, front bar and bonnet (might be fake i wouldnt know)

* supplied with safety certificate and rego

* aftermarket exhaust looks to be only cat back

* pods (m's?)

* Enkei wheels 17in i think.

Fingers crossed i get it and it turns out ok. Either way I will let u guys know.

I'm an impulsive idiot but I did have a dam good look at everything I know a bit

about mechanicals etc - and I know people etc.

I guess you didn't read the FAQ on buying a Skyline then sad2.gif

The two most important points you missed:

GET THE CAR UP ON A HOIST!!!!
Don't buy the vehicle the first time you see it. Go home and have a GOOD think about it. One more day isn't going to kill you, but it might stop you from making a bad impulse decision.

You should never have to tell yourself: "Fingers crossed i get it and it turns out ok" :D:P

I can't believe the engine was blowing smoke, and you didn't get a compresssion test done on it, and bought it anyway.... :uhh: :uhh:

Correction I havent bought it just put a deposit on it.

Lergo I have arranged for an onsite compression test

and pre purchase inspection this wednesday 12-2pm

for $150.

If I don't go through with the purchase I loose my $450

deposit plus the $150 comp test or $600.

Figure its worth taking the punt on for $600.

I feel better now.

The thought of owning a 33GTR is really freaking me out.

I need to settle. Then I need to think about alarms. That's

the thing that worries me the most its 2x the thief magnet

than my gtst.

Ok guys I need advice on engine/vin/chassis numbers.

It doesn't look right to me, I did find it hard to read

his writing. I will verify myself under the bonnet

and check the numbers with REVS before purchase

but here goes.

Engine : RB26047818A (seems ok)

VIN/Chassis: 6T91MPAAAR1BFH002

Thats doesnt look anything like my

gtst's number. I would have expected

a BNR33 or similar?

He's got writing like a doctor!

Mmmmm I am really starting to worry about this white smoke.

It occurred when the car was idling after being cold. Had it idling

for about 10mins.

The guy tried to convince me that all his cars did that after they

had been washed?

After reving a few times it did go away though?

The smoke was kind of blowing out and wafting vertically from

the tip it seemed very diffuse and light. Not blowing straight

out like I' ve seen other smoky zorsts do.

Im not sure whether to forget about it and save myself the $150.

I mean even with a pre inspectin check and compression test

the problem may not be identified, right.

This car is around $30k registered btw. Yes cheap for a 33R.

MMM.. im starting to get worried about the repeats... :D

Adding to the white smoke, may i ask... for such a stock car with stock wheels etc.. why does it have a fibreglass bonnet and what seems to be a fibreglass copy of the original front bar that is missing the orignal indicators and surround. Also a grill that looks like a copy with no GTR badge? Another thing to think about...

I wouldnt normally give my thoughts but think you should really consider some things i mentioned. :headspin:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
