Yeah I remember that auction. Approx 55k without buyers premium of 10%. Was asking about this car because of the rare colour and that it's a V Spec. One of 12 according to GTR Registry. Probs going to have to pass regardless given the ADM purchase but dayum I love it. Was still annoyed that I missed out on another V Spec BL0 which required some work late last year for 18k :/

So, that owner wants 60k and the car is slightly modified will all parts supplied. Needs new headlight, centre vent needs replacing and nismo bootlip has a defect. Kinda put me off for that money. 

I will probably bide my time and look overseas as it seems prices here are a little crazy atm for condition.

Opinion on this car?

I know they have been caught photoshopping auction sheets before.

I went and looked at this car a few months ago for a Victorian member.......

It's OK but as prices have continued to rise it's becoming realistic.

I think they wanted nearly $50K when I looked at it. At $42-$43K it would be about right.

Cheers,

Did they have auction sheets? Or was it bought privately? Assuming auction grade 4B. Also the sticker on the dash, what's that for? can't make it out from photos. Saw the old school front sensors and air demister or whatever which sits on the parcel shelf. Also radio isn't stock? Looks a little different to be honest.

I'm pretty sure the car was originally purchased at auction by heartbeat in Sydney.. They originally advertised it as a 93 model but its a 92. It was taken down and then advertised at this current dealer.

So these heartbeat cars place is dodgy? Or are they ok?

i have seen a couple gtrs for sale there, one was for sale with " 4b " but like mentioned above I had seen it at auction with 4c, was only there for one auction so must have sold, so they must photoshop the auction reports?

or am I just way off track? Haha.

 

From my dealings with them and talking to others who have bought from them i wouldn't say they're dodgy and their cars are of a higher quality although they have claimed them to be different years (to make them more desireable i assume) like with this car and another silver one I was keen on but anyone who's dropping 40+ on a 32 should be able to figure that out for themselves.

Zilla I heard the same thing and that was what I was referencing. Was a big fuss on facebook when it was pointed out by Japan History check or whatever. He changed a 4C to a 4B and also adjusted the KMS to what they should have been etc etc.

This is the reason I ask as this is the car, if you look at vin number below in pic.

This is at heart beat cars, and wondering if they provide the same auction report as what was at the auction..

It sold first time at auction so if they have a report with "4B" then they would have altered it..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
