Okay to give you a straight answer. 100k - Original N1 or a fully fully modded gtr(stroked forged bottom, fully built head , basically there is nothing to be done) 90k - original nismo nothing missing all finishers etc 80ķ - all original spec vii. For 60k - full riced(flare kit, upgraded intercooler, stand alone, aftermarket seats, steering wheel, shift knob, coilovers, custom paint, custom steering, fuel cell, 2 fuel pumps, custom wheels volk or work etc, upgraded turbos). I would have a look at that one for 60ķ and pay 50k max, 45k with all 100's in ur pocket or transfer the money online/telebank etc. You dont want to pay top dollar and still have things to do to feel comfortable or stand out. In Trinidad and Tobago a normal legit roadworthy r32 gtr is valued 70-80k if you can get onem a modded one(even rarer) 100k all day. Just food for thought

Interesting. I spoke with one of the guys from heartbeat about a car that they initially said was 4b but once they had sent me the history it turned out to be RA. I have to say they weren't hiding it as they sent me the auction sheet but I feel they told me 4b initially incase I didn't ask for history or to get me interested.

The guy kept telling me it's a 4b car apart from the repair so it's kind of like they give their own ratings haha. Lucky we can check for these things.

Hi, mate i actually bought the white one with Apexi kit you listed above. I was aware of it was 4C instead of 4B prior purchase, and i did use it as my bargain leverage. The car itself presents in a really good condition, we have put it on hoist and checked over, no rust and no dent along the rail, the only thing been replaced is rear bumper bar.  I did question them about the auction grade,  they were like it was a mistake. I think you are right, they put ads with a higher grade just to attract customer and expect them not to question about it. Anyway, im just glad i got a clean car, not sure about other car they sold.

Nice mate, the only reason I didn't buy the white one was because it has the replaced front passenger guard due to the " xx " on the auction sheet and the sales bloke wouldn't let me get a compression test done and full inspection through crd ( which is just down the road ) he said because crd are expensive and extremely thorough and will pick on little things.. which made me think they were dodgy? ( paying at my own expense )

He also said " compression test " could be low due to sitting around in Japan.. which is bull.. 

I hope the car is immaculate though, did it come with all logbooks and paperwork?

I asked him about logbooks he said he couldn't find it and could still be on a boat from Japan..

He told me the same, i told him to write it down in sale of contract, this must included as they committed and advertised, they told me they will chase it down for me. Will see what happens

Hey mate, congrats on the purchase. The car I'm talking about that turned out to be RA was the silver one they were advertising a while ago for $49,000. The white car you bought looked great, I came across it while it was at auction in japan. I wasn't interested due to the single turbo but if you like I can try chase down the photos my importer sent me and I can email them to you. I'm sure it will be nice to have soime auction photos of it.  Pm me your email if you like and ill have a look for them :)

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
