Please note, I have just had Ben at Racepace check out the smoke and he's told me that a cylinder has a cracked piston ring. :boohoo:

I have ot sell the car ASAP before the lease expires.

A chance to get a GTR with an engine that you'll know is good :)

Details:

Late 97 posibly 98 build series 3 (Dual Airbags and Xenon lights) GTR V-Spec

Black exterior

Grey interior, factory leather seats

68,000 KM

Dark tint windows

Carbon look "GTR" rear wing inserts

HKS2530's

233 rwkw @ 1 bar which will no doubt be better after a rebuild

Stock rims

Currently registered in QLD with "97 GTR" Goldcoast Indy plates - most likely to be sold seperately or keep for when I can afford to buy another one

Can transfer vehicle to VIC rego before purchase if required and as such you'll get 12 Months registration.

A few scratches here and there, the front bar, plastic, has a few cracks in it, I havn't replaced it yet as it still has some life in it

Had some minor mods including larger oil sump, oil cooler, 3" pipes off the turbos, HKS2530s has an electronic boost controller (currently disabled), Field Torque split controller, single ( I think) but definately plated clutch. Nismo centre guages and Nismo dash

perfect buy...

Get engine rebuilt by Racepace, add injectors if it doesn't have them, powerFC

You'd get a S3 GTR with some nice goodies, with 320rwkw, freshley built engine with forgies... for less than 40k....

Wish this came up 12 months ago when i was looking :D

edit: a friend is interested - got a phone number?

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
