Looks like a bargain.

Well it does have some minor damage and is driven on hard roads so I'd say the suspension is likely stuffed. But for the price I'm thinking fair.

Any hints on items to look for that "state roads p/l" might miss. How can I confirm it is genuine and not stolen etc apart from REVS?

Probably the best bet is to ask for the VIN (if you haven't already got it for the REVS check) and post it in the thread so someone with Nissan FAST can check if it's the real deal.

Also, get a mechanic from an import tuner's to go over it. They'll usually be a bit more thorough than an NRMA check because they'll better know what little things go wrong with these particular cars.

Sound advice.

Asking for check on the VIN in this thread

I choose "state roads" over NRMA as NRMA only offered a local ford dealership as an inspector and they didn't know a thing about skylines. I considermyself a bit nieve but this chick had no idea, total sales person. But at least she spoke english unlike the mechanic. Paying an extra $200 for the fellow to travel there and back so unlikely I'd get anyone from a import tuner to attend not being their job.

I wonder how come and it has so many k's? Usually GTR's only have 30k k's this one must have done 100k k's here . Looks clean in the pics and priced to sell . I wonder what he means by private import, does he mean personal import ? Maybe he just says that because it came to Australia second hand ?

Probably because it's genuine km. Used as a regular car. Original dash (shame, nismo would have been nice). Only ever seen one GTR with less than 30K and that was due to a dash replacement.

I bet when it came to Australia only had 30-40k k's ......somehow they all loose k's from the time they leave Japan until they are registered ..... i have seen it plenty of times, example a car is sold at auction in Japan with 120k k's by the time it gets here it only has 40k k's ..

6T91MPAAATYDBJ003 is not a VIN number. It's a model code.

A VIN number for an R33 GTR will be BCNR33 xxxxxx

I wonder how come most people don't know where the vin is. You will always find it on the firewall and you want the Nissan number not the one they stick on here at compliance .

Here is an example :

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
