It looks super clean! Leather interior (if factory) is seriously uncommon. The leather looks mint tho.

150k's ain't bad. You don't have a turbo to deal with when the kay's get higher either. :thumbsup:

I love the dibs, too. Hard to enforce though. :D

Do a revs check

Do a Japanese odometer history check

Ask questions about vehicle history, owners, why did it need a respray etc

check steering wheel, carpet, handbrake, sills etc for wear and tear. Those seats aren't factory, see if you can get a look under the leather covers, if they are covers.

Braided fuel lines? A few mods are questionable and need close inspection.

The car looks to have been touched all over. It looks amazing for sure. But sometimes this can be a sign that it has had a few 'dodgy' mods done.

Check the car with a fine tooth comb.

Best intro post ever. :thumbsup:

If you were fully serious (and one day intend to track).

Get a NA R34, then when the time comes.. 350Z brembos, RB30DET, Sequential Box, 2 Way LSD

Because even with a GT-t or GTS-t the factory brakes, gearbox, diff, motor end up in the bin when you get serious.

thanks everyone for your great advice. I'm so tempted to impulse buy just caus of the condition its in, but i reckon i'll just stick it out and wait for something with better value for money

But .... That leather... :wub:

LOL I got a leather set for mine - genuine SIII GTR's - had them restored and re-dyed/coloured etc and never fitted them. Got another set of velour GTR one and put then in and to this day can't make up my mind which ones to sell!!! prob never will...

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
