Stephen took me for a drive when I was looking for my GTR and it was a very nice car. Full papers from Japan including purchase documents! Bone stock too mechanically down to exhaust.

Exactly what I was after. Definately not easy to find a completely stock (down to the original exhaust) bayside blue vspec in immaculate condition.

I remember calling him ready to book plane tickets to come grab it - but he already had someone local that was ready to buy and pay a premium.

May be sold by now as this was from memory, almost 6 months ago.

I just some how got lucky a few weeks ago when its sister popped up for sale in Sydney.

What's the bayside nur going for out of curiosity?

Cheers

I got mine locally, unless your getting something from say global auto that is unreal, or you can go to japan and pick a car out for yourself. I wouldnt really import one. Just being able to look at a car locally and get a feel for the owner is the best i found.

Also you can bargain locally better.

I was very happy with my local purchase.

So what went wrong? :P

My advice is to look across Australia dont rush and you will find something eventually , i spent a year to find two great cars!

Be aware of cars in Queensland espescially , make sure ADRs are completed as people get away with just seatbelts , my first GTR was unbelievably registered in Queensland with no intrusion bars , child restraints ETC . Also watch for half cuts + accident repairs

LOL absolutely nothing.....other than i keep spending money on mods lol....so damn addictive

Hi guys,

So it has been a few months now and I am still looking.

I have decided that it is 100% a Bayside blue V-Spec II I want and missed out on a beautiful example in Tasmania recently.

Anyway, it looks like I will now engage an importer and start looking in Japan as I could be waiting quiet a while to find a BB V-Spec II locally.

I will let you all know how I go.

If I can't find a car locally I will go through Aaron at Import Monster to find me one in Japan.

Local Melbourne business for me and have been dealing with him for years.

Hey mate....I went through the same thing before i got mine. I ended up getting a 99 non vspec in bayside blue, which is the colour i wanted. very clean and all original. it took me 6 months to find though. but was much better seeing it in person for myself and taking it for test drive.

There is a Vspec II Nur for sale in melbourne & Gran Turismo autos on spencer st. its very nice. didnt ask what the price was but it looks great.

anyway hope u find what you are looking for.

cheers

Thanks everyone for all the advice over the last few months, it has been much appreciated. The search is over, I have just bought a car.

I have purchased a VS2 from WA, you might have seen it, plates are VSPEC2.

Can't wait to get it over here to Melbourne!

congrats mate.....great choice. would be great to see it. what colour?

Thanks.

It is Bayside Blue.

It is this one...

Just read the rest of that thread - let's hope your purchase isn't a HIRISK venture ;)

Should be fine, dealing with Collin ha been all good to date, we have been talking regularly.

Ouch. Some of the things said in that thread are not very nice.

Also hoping it all works out for you mate and hope the issues with the motor in the previous for sale ad are now also 100%.

Nice car, i'm sure you will love it.

Regards.

    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
