dont know about all, but my grey 32 has a black engine bay.

so its either a 32 thing or a dark colour 32 thing.

Yeah my car is black so I assumed that the engine bay would be colour coded to the body... you must be right - must be a dark colour 32 thing.

Anyone with a red or white one who can substantiate?

And as for concourse cars... my car had won Nissan Datsun concourse club awards... but it's still coming to Sandown in October :D :D

I agree with the above comments.. keeping it concourse would become a sick fascination, as it would be a sin to buy this car and drive it into the ground, from a purists perspective.

But then again how is it any different from buying a NEW car?

Very true - there are many *very* wealthy people who buy new porsches and take them to the track, but can and will afford to maintain their cars to near show quality :D

I have a white BNR32 which has a white engine bay. The car has had an exterior respray but I am pretty confident the engine bay hasnt been sprayed, but I guess I will never know until someone else can confirm if their white one is the same.

Can we find out how much the vehicle sold for?

The car actually passed in becuase the seller has a reserve price set which wasn't met - it has been relisted again and is due to finish on Friday 24th now.

We can contact the seller directly and make an offer before the auction ends if anyone is interested? .. we can also arrange for a mechanic inspection to verify the condition of this car.

You can follow the auction here if your interested:

http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k7600785.

The current "Desired successful bid price" is 2,180,000 Yen

LW.

thats all good if you can read japanese or if you have a translator.

can anyone point me in the direction of a good translating program??

what was the price it was passed in at?

can we find out the reserve the owner wants?

The owner actually wants 2,180,000 yen car cost, thats around 2,300,000 yen FOB including a mechanical inspection - often the desired price is quite a lot higher than what they will actually take, especially if the car fails to sell for weeks on end.

It will be interesting to see the final sale price, especially compared to this 1993 model V-Spec also with seriously low km's @ around 2,940,000 yen ... http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/1098

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
