Anyone who has a angle-mounted intercooler has to be a pretty keen drift fan. And it looks from the state of the seat that it has been used in that way for quite a few years, and often.

I think you're all being just a little harsh, someone has spent a lot of money on that car (V mount set-ups aint cheap), but yes it's obviously been driven very hard that doesn't mean it's crap or hasn't been looked after though. It's great how you guys (looks at siksII here)can make such judgements on cars from another country, without seeing it in the flesh, or driving it. BTW I'm not saying it's a great car, I'm just saying I'd reserve judment on it untill I'd either had someone inspect it for me, or driven it myself. So hard to judge from a couple of pics and a few line of description.

pft kids.. i could slap a $1000 paint job on a completely ****ed skyline, some nice rims, clean up the engine bay and you'd all say it was "oh wow".. that was till the engine or gearbox blew a few weeks later. And yet my 20 year old daily that is 20 years old, does look like a piece of crap, and i bought for next to nothing gets thrashed everyday and is reliable as rocks. So there is no definitive way to tell unless you actually take it for a drive or get a mechanical inspection.

There are two possible reasons why somebody sells a car like that:

a) They know something you won't until its too late

B) They simply got bored of it, or want the cash. Then generally a local buyer would have bought it i'd imagine.

Anyway, who knows.. who cares!

It depends what you want the car for. If you want a drift car, its probably great. If you want a daily driven street car, I would be very careful.

Personally I wouldn't touch it, but I don't want a drift car.

Edit: Oh, and replacing the RB with the SR makes quite a bit of sense for drift.

true statement :)

it all about what ur going to use the car for

but it sure isnt an everyday drive.. :mad: it doesnt even have a radio :D

i would only buy this car if i was a huge drift fan, but still would have second thoughts cause of its history

it would be intresting to see how this car will preform on the track and its power/weight ratio

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
