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.

Imperial spanners, and a short socket tool kit. We bent two wheel braces just getting the wheel nuts off:D

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..

Not my fault, that's all we were given to work with. Yeah the wheel nuts were that tight, it was unbelievable.
