I've found a GTR V-Spec only done 4000km and can get on the raod for $92k including road side assist and 3yr warranty etc etc. Going by what I've seen on the second hand market looks like a great buy.

I'd apreciate any opinions from anyone as I've only been looking around for a few weeks now.

Thanks in advance

edit: - '99 Model :)

i'd really get a pro to check the "4000km" since it would seem to be fake unless it has an aftermarket dash or the car was just used for "track" use...but 4000km is really low. It is a decnt price. But get it checked out by someone who knows what he/she is doing, also check the overall condition of the car, like the condition off the enigne bay. Have you test driven it?? Make sure no unsuall noises occur while your driving and listen to the engine while it's at idle etc etc...Also you could get a friend who may have one to go for i ride while test drive, check the lcd display for any errors or the engine getting to hot etc. Hope it helps i'm sure alot of people can add more.

Thanks for the info guys.

Apparently it's an ex demonstrator from Japan. Been here about 6 months. I am a little suspect, as 4k for 4 years would be extreamly rare. The engine bay looked almost spotless. I think it may have been used for some "advertising" for the dealer at certain track meets or something and there are a few superficial marks on the body, maybe from shipping alone. Everything is totally stock so posibly joy rides for interested buyers of later models ie '00 & '01? Haven't driven it or really checked it out yet, obviously I will before buying tho....

Is there anyone in Melbourne that could be recomended to do a check? Willing to pay for services of course...

he he yeah - MR2 has been with me for a few years now. Had it bought in personally in mid 99, so time for an upgrade. I'm earning a little more now than what I was 4 years ago :-)

Mick - Do you have contact details for Ben? Can't find a white pages listing for Race Pace

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
