Final price drop to $28500 before I start stripping things off it and getting some stock GTR rims to replace the Volks, still open to offers, but will soon be taking stuff off to sell seperately and reducing the price further with less mods.

No not xenons, xenons can't be complied in QLD so when a car comes in with them, they remove the setup and put big stickers in place saying "do not replace the xenon setup"........they are over rated anyway, superbright whites look exactly the same as far as I'm concerned!

dam, needed this to be sale this time next year!! then id be on a "work trip" to come and see it. Clean as car, someone you would think would buy it!!

I've got a few people keen at the moment, but typically at the time when I'm ready to pull bits off, so I'll give them a bit longer to make any decisions before I start stripping, but if anyone is keen on some parts, shoot me a PM, already got some people interested in certain bits.

I know I'd be wanting to pay $28k for this car with some nice goodies on it, as opposed to an average GTR for $3-4k less that you'll then have to spend money on making it nice, but anyway, I think people are just being careful with their money at the moment, which is fair enough, but I do want this gone pretty soon, so I will take certain measures to make sure it sells and am still open to reasonable offers!!!

$27,000

With no carbon wing blade, no clear front indicators, no Trust gear knob, no floor mats, no carbon engine covers, no boost guage..........all stock items replaced where necessary, can remove more items for the right price, wheels would drop it by alot if you don't want them.

damn mate thats a nice looking GTR... looking for one atm..... but im down in Melbourne... Would def be interested for about 23 without those rims.....

I know you said your not interested in swaps but ill be getting rid of my 99 WRX to buy a gtr.....if your interested :merli:

Nah not wanting another performance car, getting back into the old Mazdas, cars that will appreciate rather than depreciate in value :P and stick with a normal small car for a daily.

PM sent re:price

Ive seen this car in the flesh (not that the owner knows me it used to part across from my work in morning side) and id frequently stop and admire. Its one of the nicer r33 gtr examples i have seen in the flesh.

Good luck with your sale mate, dont go overboard chopping it up the right buyer will come along.

this is EXACTLY what i want in a 33 gtr when i get the funds. Midnight purple, bronze wheels, a few carbon touches, only light mods, PERFECT!!!

just keep it until im ready to buy one :D haha

anyway, Free bump!

LOL, seems everyone wants this car in a few years time, why no one wants it now, as is, I don't get, its very reasonably priced....but I'll keep trying, still prefer to sell as is, but have a few keen when its a lot more naked of its bits.

Is this the GTR that used to be (or maybe still is) around the Taringa area? I saw this car several times before I moved over to WA earlier in the year and thought it looked pretty tidy. If you're still wanting to sell it, I'll be back in Brisbane on the 10th of November... Very keen to do some serious negotiations with you, as long as all the bits you've just pulled off go back on :(

Yep, that would be the one, the bits could have gone back on for a price, but at the moment its sold, so those bits will be for sale seperately....will be finalising shit on Monday.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
