I paid 550,000 yen for my r33. It was dead stock when it got here and was listed as a grade 4. Apart from 1 pin dent, which I think happened on the way here, it was a grade 4 car. Since then and a few australian carparks later its got 1 more pin dent, a paint scrape (that should polish out with a cut and polish) and a small dent in the drivers side door. I think I paid a pretty high price for a 94 dead stock car, but the condition is excellent.

Depends on the auction.

I looked at a supposed Grade 3.5 car for someone today and it had both 1/4's repainted and had a new beaver and repair to boot floor.

Jaa auctions are slack with there grading but USS are pretty good.

A new beaver? What the?

Cam, I'd do it again, but I'd make sure all the tools were there first:D

See'ya:burnout:

Rear tailight panel ( called a beaver by those who know..... )

Supposedly has 450hp atw but doesn't seem like it. Is the JUN engine but with a supercharger.

Engine was getting hot so AJ parked it. I would too knowing the cost of that motor.

430 odd at 6500, main problem is it was breaking down above 6500, seems to be either stuffed cam angle sensors(we took a spare, well swapped the one in the car on sat night hoping it would resolve the issue, but didn't, we never had time to test), or theres an issue with the motec not feeding it enough voltage, so the top end speed was reduced, as was using each gear to its peak potential..

we didn't make it there saturday as the car only first fired at 6:30 on saturday morning, and a couple of issues brough tuning to a halt early on saturday morning, wit the issues fixed aj tuned it sat night, well, tuned it to 6500 as it had the ignition issue above that, a few of us did a pile more work to it sat night to get it completely ready for sunday..

race one, the pivot starter switch jammed on, so after half a lap, rather than trash the os geiken flywheel and starter motor he pulled off and had it pulled back to the pits, replaced pivot switch with a normal push button switch found at the local dickies, fixed that problem, second race it had heat issues and rather than risk anything he pulled out, no need to push it, we wouldn't have won anything, and lost everything..

on its first ever lap it cut a 67 second lap, which is about 3 seconds off the front runners, not bad for a brand new car the owner hadn't driven more than 200 meters..

we'll be back at the next race with the issues addressed, and will hopefully be able to show the full potential of the car, it managed a 66 in race pace with traffic and was quickly catching the rx7 of kim ledger so we're happy, and the car looks and sounds awesome..

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
