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.

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
