You bought it without knowing what mods its got? :Oops:

From the looks of it, after market FMIC, strut brace, custom airbox

other than that no idea

do GTRs have the battery in the engine bay?

hi  

i bought this car recently and it hasnt arrive from japan yet but i want to know what mods can you see and is there any problem so far just from the picture such as too old , somethng with wrong the setup or a mechnical failure etc

thanks

front mount??!?! what gives you that idea? :confused:

All I can see: ARC airbox, strut brace, HKS bovs, some japanese made twin-turbo pipe.

That's all you can tell from that photo.

And R32s had the battery in the engine bay.

thought that aftermarket pipe might have been intercooler, couldnt think of what else it would be

Ahhh :O Yeah, that pipe replaces the stock "twin turbo" labelled pipe that joins the output of the two turbos... The stock one has a very sharp angle joining the first turbo...

It might very well have an aftermarket front mount, but you can't tell from that photo.

Not sure about the condition... That is a very weird place to put the BOVs... An R32 owner might be able to tell you more about it's condition...

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
