well.....i notice that it doesn't say anything about freshly rebuilt so lets assume it isn't. Together with a laggy drag strip T88 turbo it would be a pain to drive and also a time bomb :D

As for a reliable inspection take it to one of the workshops that knows skylines and have them have a look at it, Nathan at Grey Imports would be my choice but also UAS in castle hill, Autosport Engineering at Kirawee etc etc

Ive seen the add for that car at Autostyle for the last few months. As far as i know its still got a stock RB26, so with 450AWKW its gonna need a rebuild sooner rather than later. Prolly why the owner got rid of it after haveing some fun with it. One of the forum memebrs is selling his R32GTR in Carpoint.com, its got a fresh engine rebuild with strengthened internals and a big assed t04z, all for 34K.

Good price IMO.

Theres quite a few big turboed equipped GTR's running around on stock engines that are now up for sale before the owner has to invest in the engine...

For 35K id want a fresh engined R32 GTR.....

Tick Tick Tick....

Seriously, Autostyle build cars for one reason and one reason only, to go really fu*$ing fast, now do you want something which is going to be accommodating more to the drag strip or daily driver....? Because this car isn't both.

Don't get me wrong, sounds wicked, but just not appropriate for a daily driver me thinks, particularly with a T88 strapped to it...

Eek thats my GTR with the T04Z :O

Anyone actually dealt with Autostyle? Thinking of consigning my car over to them....

Hey Morgs, ive dealt with Autostyle before. I bought my GTR off them, Dom Russo is a nice bloke and i found him to be honest. Depsite not haveing to, he payed for some repairs to my car a few days after i bought it when it broke down on me, despite not haveing a warranty, which i thought was pretty good of him.

I traded my highly modified Mazda GTR to them aswell which saved me the hassle of selling a car that would of been difficult.

If/When the day comes to sell my GTR im pretty sure ill let someone like Autostyle sell it for me. Let them advertise and give up their time for potential buyers. Plus id be shit scared of being jumped for the car if i was selling it privately. When Jimbo and his 2 mates covered in tatts turn up and want a test drive, id be getting pretty nervous!!!! They do take a commision, but im not sure of the %. If the GTR isnt your daily driver then id give it a go, if its your sole transport then its not really an option...

Cheers, good luck with the sale... :)

This is not meant to be a slur on Autostyle as i know Dominic and respect his business....

but.....

Autostyle import their stock directly from Japan, and apart from tiding up the cars for sale....rarely have any input into the cars build....hence you are purchasing a car with limited knowledge of its history...this is part of the reason why the cars have such an attractive price tag attached.

With all performance purchases its buyer beware...as that cheap car can very quickly send you broke.

This example would be a great buy for someone with the finances to pull the engine give it a stengthen and freshen up so they are confident of trouble free motoring.

after seeing how hard they drive the cars at events like powercruise - I personally wouldn't buy one from them..

and - and would anyone recommend some other alternative to a an inspector rather then NRMA you being serious??

Selling a car through them is probably different to buying one from them..

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
