White nothing, R32 GTS-t's go for 100,000Y - 200,000Y standard / minimal mods in auctions. which is about $1500 - $3000 AUD.

i doubt rezz will tell u his price, caus it will probably make u cry :rofl:

Polski's prices are without shaken (Japanese tax-rape-disguised-as-roadworthyness-check)... as noted in the other thread, could add anywhere in the vicinity of 100,000 yen onto those prices.

I will tell you this though: I got my car WITH 2 years shaken (the usual duration for over 3 year old cars) for less than 300,000 yen... :rofl:

Come on Rezz, how 'bout some more details? Age, mileage, "rating", etc? We want details dammit :D

Cheers,

Unless it's bought at auction, it won't have a 'rating', other than one you might attribute to it personally

if you want to check out average japanese caryard prices - use the japanese automotive links thread (it's a sticky) - there is a section in there for car sales. You should be able to bumble your way through those sites (easily if you some minimal japanese skills) - but you can always ask for help if you need it

One thing to note - the price advertised is not the 'real' price (the same goes for 'windscreen' prices you see in car yards, the 'real' price is usually on a sheet inside each car). There are a handful of extra charges that may need to be applied - local tax, name change, shaken, and so on - these costs vary between cars - due to things such as location, type of car, etc. 100,000 is about the average 'add-on' cost if shaken is required - though this can sky-rocket if there are problems with the car. I've always bought a car that had shaken, or bargained free shaken into the price (it's a good haggling point).

speaking of other charges , can someone plz inform me of the costs of buying a car in Japan ? I know its different in each city as they have their own taxes.

but maybe someone can give me an example of a 500,000Y vehicle. ?

Rezz, what are you paying for your car space in Kobe? Im hopefuly moving to Kobe march/april next year :P

I know, that's why I put rating in inverted commas :P

I am not personally interested in R32 GTS-t's in general, just after some specifics on Rezz's car, but he seems to want to remain a little secretive about it, probably because its full of NOS bottles and T04Rs :(

LW.

so apart from what I can see in hte pics, like pod, wheels etc... is it standard, or are there some mods like coilovers I can't see?

any major plans?

I like GTR's, why I am importing one(only 2 months to go now!!!) but my first performance car was a 32 GTST, and will always have a softspot for them :P

As the car was bought privately there is no rating...but given the age, kilometres, condition etc...I also rate it as a 3.5. It has a bit of rust and bit rough around the edges but given the age and Ks the car looks good and it runs beautifully. As for the pricing Justin has already indicated approximate, and you can't beat mates rates.

Before Justin there was another buyer (a mate) and myself who were interested in picking up this car as a drifter, then Justin mentioned he was in the market for an R32 and rest you all know about.

Some pics from yesterday... DIY! Who needs a garage???

Troy, thanks HEAPS for coming around yesterday and helping/buying extras, I really appreciate it. :rofl: ... oh, and we were neck and neck last night, but I had a passenger and you didn't... :( hehehe

Lookin good Justin :rofl:

DIY in the street - bet you got more than a few strange looks from the locals, 2 gaijins, car in pieces, swearing loudly when "that bl00dy bolt won't come undone!" :(:D;)

lunch at Makudonarudo's I see ;):D

Have you noticed much difference with the new intercooler on? Is the turbo more laggy? Looks like the front cross member is covering a large part of the cooler up - any plans for a new bumper - get more air into it?

I got the same cooler! Makes very little difference in terms of response. Only advantage is that you can run higher boost (plus cooler in warmer weather - but make a partition of the A'PEXi power intake too).

Try cutting out the part where the front number plate goes, a lot of the cooler is hidden behind that.

Rezz's car is fairly similar to mine (at least the engine anyway).

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • 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
