Something that did stand out about the car, I was just thinking about it, has an ATS twin plate carbon in it and when turning the car off there was a pronounced rattle as the flywheel/pressure plate stopped turning.

I'm aware of rattle on idle, but wasn't aware of pronounced rattle on shutdown.

Thoughts?

Slight rattle post ignition being off on mine as well (Nismo twinplate)

K's come back as 55000 at export in 2007, his records show 65000 on the odo when he bought it in 09/10 and it has 85 on it now, seems about right.

No auction papers due to when it was exported.

Jap history gave me that for free in the end given the delay, he mentioned email/hosting dramas.

I offered our services...

Looks like I'll aim for weekend after this one to go collect it and will start getting parts together and lining up the paint work.

Also...

Wanted:
VSpec front and rear diffusers.
Vspec pedal set.
Front inner wheel plastic sections - front most pieces left and right.
Rear spoiler, genuine or copy - but must be standard style. Carbon wing blade welcome.
Black wheel nuts - preferably Rays.
Rays Centre caps.
Nismo black drop sheet style seat covers front/rear.
Nismo gear knob, either the leather one or a black GT500 style one.
Things I will be selling/have to swap.
ARC Titanium Gearknob.
Bodyform Top Secret style FRP diffuser, with carbon look leading edge. Goes all the way back to the cross member. Pic below is of the same part, i can get full pics of the actual part when I collect it.
Rays red wheel nuts.
Standard mirrors in silver.
Standard guards in silver.
Freight to Wodonga will be required but I can also collect if anyone is in Canberra as I'll be up that way the weekend after this one. Collection from Melbourne also possible.
Cheers

Well I don't "have" it yet.

I'll be happy once it's aesthetically sorted. Power I'm in no rush for as it's just a street car and my days of racing everyone that might have looked at me are long gone.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
