R32 GTR Pre-purchase inspection - Brisbane


Recommended Posts

But they won't look for things such as Attessa not working, or if someone has removed the entire HICAS system out of the car and replaced it with a lock bar because they have NFI or if someone has dropped a Nistune into the car and dialled it in or if the turbos have been swapped out for bigger ones, etc.

They're trained to inspect stock ADM cars.

If I were to get an inspection (not that I would need one or pay anyone for it) it would be someone that specialises in JDM shit boxes.

Lmao you people have no idea.

at least I have given him a place to start with all you 2 have done is complain how RACQ are  supposably not qualified for the job ?‍♂️ Then again The internet  is full of  YouTube   Qualified  mechanics as noted above

Hello Steve.

The few cars I've bought interstate I have always had them sent to reputable and widely known GTR workshops for their PPI.
I've had one each in WA, NSW and Vic. No garage worth their salt would turn you down and a buyer who won't reasonably let it be inspected is probably hiding something.

My advice would be to find out who is the leading couple of Japanese/GTR workshop/tuners and make some calls.

People who look at these cars day in day out can spot a dud a mile away. What i will add though, is any PPI is better than none.

Best of luck! [emoji16]

Thanks guys for the recommendations! I've thought about RACQ (or similar) but would prefer someone who specialises in the cars

Anyone know of any reputable tuners up there?

cheers

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
