Photos now up..... Looks stunning. I saw it at the GT-R Festival this year.

I've heard they are negotiable for a quick sale.....

By the looks of it the car sat in the sun for quite some time judging by the faded side indicators and faded triple gauge needles on the centre console...lovely car though :)

Correct, last service was 20 years ago when it had 48,000 kms.

Just needs a good front to back overhaul.

According to someone on Facebook the cars had a respray and thats why he didn't pay 70-75k 2-3 months ago for it. Don't remember it being listed anywhere?

also typical facebook analysts stating that the numbers don't line up perfectly on the gauge

Yes this car has had paint, apart from the boot which is original paint.  Still a nice car.

20 yrs ago wow...has the engine been started in that period? If not, the engine will more than likely require a rebuild. Rings will be dry, valve stem seals dry and deteriorated etc.

This would throw me off as a buyer 100%

If the car has full service history the kms wouldn't be an issue. However, the car hasn't been serviced for 20yrs so it's hard to track or document.

The only way is to look at the car in the flesh...it is nice :)

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
