another guy called and offered 5500 but i think thats too low .its half what i paid and i bought exactly as it is.

think i;ll wait a couple of days and see what other offers come through

I'll be brutally honest and say that regardless of you paying >$10k for it, I wouldn't pay much more than $5-6k because it really does need lots more money spent on it to even get it mobile. If I were you I would take any offer in that area and be glad it's gone.

The problem is people get excited over the initial price but if they took the time to sit down and calculate what they would need to spend and what the end result would realistically look like they shit themselves and even then people always seem to underestimate the real cost of fixing these things.

If I bought that I drift it

yeah i guess. i'm getting quite alot of messages for it. plus the car looks a bit rough with the stress cracks and sitting on space saver wheels lmao. some actual wheels on it would make it alot more appealing.

Pretty sure you fried the electrics in this car.

I was seriously considering the car, and i was not joking with my 6K offer on the first page.

However after seeing pics, that purple pic shows on hell of a non stock glass body, put me right off it, would be a headache to bring her back to the stock body shape, then deal with all the other repairs.

Im being seriously honest, if you get offers around $6K take it and run. (no im not one of the people making the offers, just saying)

Most likely will be bought by someone who does not know better like you did.....

Lol really? I highly doubt that, that's why cars have fuses.

He already got the car started but having no afm with standard ecu doesn't help.

Why not return it back to more stock, you could use the money from sale of turbo, dump, injectors and maybe other stuff you dont need, then buy the stock gear and replace the headgasket ( $60) then get some wheels and should be sweet?

Don't sell it off to some low baller, pick yourself up a 1K shitbox so you can get to work and then fix up the GTR so you can enjoy it..

TBH 6k for that car is a good buy for the buyer. Rollers go for more than that.

It is but its probably the best option for the op. Its easily worth more in parts, obviously there is time and effort involved. At 6k its an attractive proposition to some, I can't see too many being interested in paying too much more.

but most rollers that are getting more then that have good bodies, I'd be surprised if this one could ever be registered again

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
