Nobody is getting this car for $45,000 lol

SAU has this stupid thing where you cant edit your first post.

On the last J Spec email I got today, standard 99 R34 GTR's are still high $50's, mines already here and registered

There is a guy with an RX7 and another with an EVO9 that seem pretty keen in doing a deal, a couple of others havent responded yet once money gets mentioned

Worst case scenario.....I get stuck with a black R34 GTR lol

Well whatever the new price is im sure they will get a nice car..

Okay, looks like the car is gone, I have found a suitable trade and cash adjustment.

Last call.

There are a couple of guys interested who havent come up with a cash figure, if you plan to do so, best be quick or the car is going to QLD.

The cars in question are an R33 GTR and an R33 GTST, I dont have your numbers, so call me on 0404 453 542

OKay, I just did some research on engine longevity in RX7's lol, my car is NOT going to QLD and I am not interested in RX7's as a trade in. Why would anyone buy one?

As you were

hay m

i have an r34 gtt

its white and has the following

80,000kms

just had a major service and oil change

cooler

front and rear carbon strut braces

carbon airbox

coilovers brand new

rims g max 17inch (these wheels r light as, i reckon half of what the factory weight it)

pirelli tyres

tommy kaira body kit (extremely rare)

and a few other bits an pieces and all the stock parts for it as well plus some aftermarket stuff that hasnt gone on there yet just sitting in the garage

what kind of cash adjustment would u want if we did a trade plus cash ur way type thing.

cheers

LOL Markos, you'll be looking at an engine rebuild for the RX7. :blink:. Fuel economy is shit on them as well. Good choice! :cool:

Go the Evo, never go wrong with the 4G63 :D Good luck for your sale.

Is the RX7 the highest maintenance, tempermental, fragile performance car on the planet, as well as one of the best looking, reminds me of a girl I used to.............

I hadnt washed the car or polished it for awhile, due mainly to the f u c k i n g water restrictions.

Anyway, I took the car for a nice spirited drive,so I thought I would take some recent pics, as the ones posted are 6-7 months old I think.

Not that it matters, NOBODY ever comes out to see it :P

Cash price for car is still only $50,000, if you trade a car in it alters, depending on the car.

Free bump, i come to the sales section of sau every now and then to see how the prices are going for r34's - compare mine to what i payed for etc and i cant believe you haven't sold yours yet! - if the bank would lend me 50k right now i would run to the bank, grab the money and run to where ever you live!

Times are tough financially for people now, I know I havent got $50,000 to spend on a car, so I dont expect too many others have either. I hardly drive anymore due to running my gym from home, so I figured I would have an older GTR and free up some cash, but if that doesnt happen, it really doesnt matter, thats why I'm not flexible on the price. The fact nobody has come to look at it indicates the market is flat. If potential buyers were coming out and then not buying, I would have to reconsider the price. The car itself is faultless.

Price is $50,000, not remotely desperate to sell, I own the car, a thriving business, real estate etc, its just that it doesnt get driven, once a fortnight, maybe.

Someone with a nice 32 must want to upgrade, I saw a nice red one on here lol

pm replied

mmmmm a nice red one !!!!! i wonder who that is lol !!! i would love to do a deal but would have to resell in a few months as i am relocating to dubai and an r35gtr will be waiting for me :mad: good luck with the sale pepe and if you do sell urz u know where to find me :D

Hmmm mate my rx is in pieces atm getting a full roll cage etc, have t51r with tial 60mm gate ready to go in but atm its in pieces.... lol not sure if you are looking for a car like that?

If your looking at any rx7 make sure you get a comp test done mate, let me know if you need a hand with anything....

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
