sounds like this guy has already made up his mind to buy this car

regardless of the info giving here . sounds like he half believes the owner and just wants to bargain the car down in price .

a fool and his money is always parted

Justin911's for example, Only asking something like 21k, and it's in great condition with a few nice little extras...A great base to start with.

Yes he's a mate of mine, but if I was in the market for a 33 GTR I wouldn't hesitate in buying his.

If you're after an R33 GTR, here you go:

Amen to that...I was reading this and looked at the carsales ad...if it was a legit "S-Tune" (although I my opinion there is no such thing in R33 models only the GT-R N1, the super rare Nismo 400R and the even ultra rare Nismo GT-R LM Road Car) then there would be paperwork, build plates and other little things to make it stand out from the pack (as what most people have said here)...The owner will supply 12mths reg - how will it get past RWC without the front indicators (and it looks like that have never been on). Also if it was a legit "S-Tune" or something...you'd keep it in better condition that what it is now (also the veilside style bonnet doesn't do it for me) (one is only assuming...the engine bay is not that appealing)

In terms of hoon laws - the car will be reset to zero strikes as the car will have a new owner (got a mate a vicroads who told me this - basically if the guy buys the car back again say after a few months - vicroads will check it out and see he was a previous owner of the car with strikes on it so it would automatically have what strikes it had on it)...but it still doesn't mean that cops will not notice you.

In my eyes there is a reason why he wants to sell the car. Also with all that work done on it...he may know about cars and mods and stuff...or he's just a regular joe blow who just blows money away for upgrades

I would seriously shop around first...for me a car like this with alot of mods - unless the car is well maintained with receipts and records, there are more trouble than what they are worth...You would be able to fine one a little bit cheaper but also in a better condition (forums here are good start)

that's my .2c

Guys, Justin's GTR looks fine, its just that my previous GTR was about 250kw at the wheels and was slightly more modified than his - therefore I would like a car which is comparable to my last if not faster.

I think that you guys are being way too harsh regarding the purple GTR, although i do see your point and appreciate the input.

I think the owner is just misinformed rather than being dodgey, but thats just my opinion. I am trying to tee up an meeting with him, but he hasnt got back to me yet..

p.s I tried calling Justin and he doesn't pick up his phone anyway.

I am looking to pick up a new GTR asap, so if anyone has one for sale PM Me.

He owns a workshop here in melbourne though so he must know what he is talking about and seems pretty genuine so its hard to tell.

can i take a guess at our mystery seller?

Going from the ad it says seller name is Jim which could be James and I know James from OH Performance also sells a few cars. and when i went to St Albans to look at a modified 32 a couple of years ago it was also to a guy called Jim/James from a carpoint ad, and he was sure good at giving me the sales pitch! but to be fair the car was ok and he took me for a nice test drive but he wanted $18k for it so i said no.....

am i close?

hey if you don't buy this rare S tune R33 I have an R32 Z tune you may be interested in. it doesn't really look like a Z tune on the outside but there is a Z on the build plate in the middle of the drive line code. that's how you know it's a z-tune. Z tune is far better than engine block special S tune anyway I reckon.

Yep he said his name is Jim from OH Performance!!!

I feel like a fool for not seeing this earlier now.. thanks everyone you all saved me a shit load of money and problems.

Its funny because after i confronted him about all the problems and that the VIN didn't match the advertised year he was selling it for he didn't seem so keen to meet up anymore.

God only knows whats wrong with the car, maybe a rebirth, front end crash - either way i am staying away with a 20 ft pole.

someone should report this clown to the ACCC, or better still, buy the car, then sue him for beach of section 52 of the trade practices act, and claim damages under section 87 of the trade practices act, using the difference between that crapola GTR and a S-Tune as the measure of damages

lol @ James... funny guy... Not for the right reasons though.

Hi guys,

I am about to buy this car:

http://carpoint.com.au/used-car/NISSAN/SKY....aspx?State=VIC

The owner says it a nismo built engine, what does this mean? just that it has N1 Turbo's? or that the internals are stronger?

He says the engine block has a different unique code and built by nismo.

Can anyone please shed any light?

read between the lines nismo built engine not a nismo built car , engine built to nismo spec , this ovious means the engine is built to nismo spec , possiblely done some time after the car was made or changed from other car and its a rare colour , you dont see these all the time like the poofie white s and grey colour oviously there is a lot of jelous pepole who critisize other people cars when there s are standard when this one is a gen V-spec in the colour to kill for ! cant say anything good about others look at your self gay lords

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
