hey mate

 

i'm in S.A never been to dealer myself buy have only heard good things on them(dealer).happt to go have a look say monday,tuesday and get ya a couple of pics i.e major rust spots etcetc

 

josh

Josh that would be great ! Will send you a pm ?

The car looks great.

Nice and original with original Japanese books.

Original 3 keys, nice tidy engine bay, original wheels and suspension height.

Original rear speakers and no ADR side blinkers. 

I think the N1 kit is tacky, leave the front bar but remove the front and rear spoilers as they seem badly warped anyway.

I'd replace the front spoiler with an OEM non painted one, and source a factory battery box. Other than that, visually you appear to have a spot on car.

Just check to see if it has the dreaded dash bubble, $1000 now for a straight bubble free dash in used condition and about $500 or a days labour to fit and swap them around.

Good luck with it, you could buy a whole lot worse!

Cheers,

Bob.

Ah good job!!!
Yeah the fact it was a Vspec for a decent price is what drew me but to be honest it's my second 32 GTR (first reading much lower kms) and this one drives and feels very tight and fresh. All the signs of high km wear aren't there, especially while driving. Couldn't be happier as of yet. The guys at TP gave me paperwork showing that it was fitted with a dash in Japan reading higher mileage but its mileage before that swap was not documented

No....... I'm in Sydney.

I document the ads and noticed it sold on December 23........

Slightly higher kms but V-Spec and V-Spec II are commanding a premium.

Are you happy with it?

Bob.

Speaking of high prices...  Genuine Nismo spec is bananas.

Wonder if it's legit as per ad.

I'm pretty sure the car is legit but it certainly doesn't present in a condition that suggests the low kms.

The ad has been changed because previously he mentioned something about the speedometer being changed but the odometer mileage is genuine etc.

It has a 260kph NISMO speedo which is not standard. The 180kph's were fitted to these cars.

The blued out seats and dash bubble concern me.

That said, if it is genuine unquestionable mileage these issues can be sorted for a couple of thousand dollars.

If it were local I'd be interested but got burnt with airfare costs on the 16,000 kms car for sale about 16 months ago. I was told it was 100% factory original yet told the then seller that I have a paint thickness gauge and anything over about 100 microns will confirm it's been painted and I won't be interested. He swore black and blue it never had paint etc..... ALL panels except roof and bonnet were painted! 350-600 microns EVERYWHERE! Was a shit job!

Long story, don't get me started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:3_grin::3_grin::3_grin:

I thought the Nismo ones did get the 260 km/h speedo? Going off memory of pictures of a showroom Nismo model.

No....... All dealer or aftermarket options.

Hard to see but if you look closely the kph numbers stop in the normal position as the 180kph.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
