For the asking price you could pick up a realy nice r34 Gtr. At least that way it will actually be a Gtr.

He won't be selling it any time soon for that price.

Doesn't matter what's done to it, it's still just a gts4

It's an old workshop car which likely means that all parts and labour are cost price and whatever spent is a tax writeoff so nowhere near the cost of your joe blo building it. The fact that its been for sale for longer than I can remember tells you all you need to know about what the market thinks of its value.

As far as "buying a monster and saving 20k" we'll that depends what you mean by a monster. So I'll leave that be cause I can't even remember if its even cut a quick lap before?

It's a dated looking purple gts4 with a parts catalog thrown at it, that's not selling. Maybe he should part it out ??

Another couple of years and you'll get early model 35r's for that kinda money.

Personally as a streetable car I'd prefer a clean stock (minor mods) GTR with some nice jap wheels on it. In the forsale section right now fatz is selling a built long motor for 13k. Add another 3 to 5k for decent shock and spring package.

Stock bodykit + respray in a standard colour + lowered price and itll sell. If I had 40k ide buy it for 40k with a stock bodykit and a standard non-homosexual colour. Couldnt care less if its a GTS4 or not, its a mental car. But its just so expensive and a bit ugly itll never sell at that price.

I see that my car has been put up on this forum, thats fine i dont mind. If it never sells i dont care it can sit under its cover until my kids get it, they keep letting me know thay still love it. :wub:

I also see there are a few knockers thats fine i dont mind :action-smiley-069: . I hope that one day if you ever have the money to do a full build on a skyline to the level this car was built to you would then know the true cost, but i guess that dreams are free :no:.

I know what i have, and anyone that looks at a car like this will have done there research and know what it is or what its not. :google: if not i would let them know.

Easy i would just give them one of the many magazines that have featured this car with all the info anyone would want. or they could watch the many DVDs , movies, ytube etc, i think that this car was around when many of you were still at School, so i under stand your lack of Skyline knowledge in the real world.

You dont see me around the Skyline forum much these days sorry to say to many young P platers with no idea and no money but great with the keyboard.

I will run the add for a while and probably pull it as has happened twice before, there are just to many tyre kickers out there already wasting my time.

This is a great fourm and i have many great memories of the early days of Skylines down under as i was one of the oringals.

Thanks to all the old guys that still remember the old days. :happy:

DO NOT WASTE MY TIME if you have no money dont bother me i am old and grumpy.

I agree with some of the comments about colour and styling. the kit and colour are not my cup of tea.

I don't doubt its a hot car. but its a bit must pitching it as a GTR when its not.

Well aren't you a condescending fellow.

If you "know what you have" then why do you advertise it as a BCNR33 GTR when it is infact a GTS4 lol? :)

We must have a massive "lack of skyline knowledge in the real world" as for some reason alot of us cannot understand why you have falsely advertised it. Must be something only the older blokes know.

All us young p platers with "no idea" must sound pretty silly I guess to a man of your honesty, fairness and experience.

On behalf of us all, sorry for "wasting your time".

No doubt that it is a fantastic car with all the mods and R&D put into it over the years. No one can seriously doubt that. The awards, results and benefits to Advan over the years are proof of this. However, what has rubbed people the wrong way is the fact that it has not been mentioned in any ad that this car is a converted GTS4 to GTR.

If anyone thinks that this is not such a big deal then they aren't thinking hard enough about it. The fact that the car hasn't sold after such a long time reflects the market's take on it.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had gone to the trouble of arranging an inspection with another mechanic of this "GTR" only to end up finding out that it is in fact a GTS4 with GTR guards. Who is the one "wasting peoples time"?

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
