If the said car was formerly registered as "2 HYPO" and was being prepped on the south side of Parramatta Rd, there's much conversation that could take place about that car.

If it isn't that car, there is nothing I can add to this thread.

It's just that one person from SAU pm'd me after test driving it & said it didn't seem to drive straight. Another SAU member pm'd me on the same day & I told him what to check for.

Meanwhile, I do hope that the car is good & that the owner bought it with his eyes 'open' - notwithstanding that there's a nice black VS2 Nur in WA with an asking price substantially higher.

Too much speculation and not enough straight forward information. Name and shame as it could prevent a fellow SAU member from falling into a similar scenario later down the track.

Best of luck to who ever bought it and hopefully he doesnt have big repair bills as a result for not doing his research

This thread is way past its used by date. In the GTR market myself, I keep seeing it pop back up - my heart stops and i think a fresh one has been listed.

Last time I saw it, 2 HYPO didnt have the gold build plate, or painted chassis rails so its safe to 'assume' this was a different car.

In respect to the new owner (who may have just made the best / worst decision of their life), and people searching for GTR's in the for sale section - this thread is just begging for closure.

I disagree. There has been too much speculation already and facts need to be stipulated otherwise this speculation will be perpetuated. There is no need for secret squirrel business.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
