That guy is dodgy, read the questions to the seller at the bottom of the ad.

As soon as someone asked the key question about weather it was an insurance write off or statutory write off he goes all difficult and avoids the question.

That was the first thing I noticed too, he went straight on the defensive.

I hope someone doesn't buy this expecting to get it up and going and registered with out $3500 worth of repairs, I think there is going to be more around the $6000 - $8000 and that's if it can be re-registered.

I reckon it was the smartest question of the lot. . . . . If the owner had the correct papers he would be boasting it everywhere . . .

I reckon he bought it hoping to repair it but made a crucial mistake and is left with an expensive wreck.

Imagine the questions he did not answer or post on the ad . . . .

Anyone got a user account on this & care to see what happens?

FWIW the compliance is legit;

;)

hmmm i asked if it was a stat write off and he said its 'NOT' in capitals. so im asking for paperwork. insurance has had someting to do with it as it doesnt have rego. im 100% sure this car came from edward lees in june last year and i drove it ;)

anyway, he said GMS spares has an M35, so ive asked if they are seperating it (ECU + bits for me)

the auction finishes in 2 days dude ;)

or are you talking about the one at GMS spares?

I figure he wont sell it myself. if its still there on thurs I'll look at it friday.

he seems to think every car thats ever had an accident and claimed under insurance is classified as a repairable write-off. wtf??

if its anything like up here then it probably true. repairable writeoffs can be total losses and still be listed that way.

easy way to solve this is to ring the RTA in the morn with the chassis number.

radio will be a waste anyway - its JDM and old.

yeah i owned a total loss but it was repairable. so i repaired it lol

but not EVERYTHING as he seems to think. anyway i didnt get a reply to my asking if i can see it today. so im guessing thats a no. probably sus anyway, seems that the finance company still has an interest in it. anyone who buys it i HOPE they do a revs check........

first thing he says is its for sale on behalf of a friend.at the end of the page that he just added it says quote *

now another point is when I originally purchased the car I purchased it under finance., when I purchased it the finance required me to have insurance, now that the insurance has paid me and the finance company out so it should of all been cleared. however for some strange reason its still listed on revs with finance owing, so I will call the finance company prior to auction ending and make sure that they clear it off there systems.

I hope this clears up many questions.

im afraid it all sound way too dodgy to me

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
