dbking82 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'm still tossing up whether to offer $10k, half what he's asking and taking the risk on the car, or, take on a supra for the same price range.

dbking82 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Not yet, still pushing funds together, turns out I was slightly shorter than I thought. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428258-weird-noise-r33-gtr-vspec/page/2/#findComment-6941679 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOKEYV35 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Just don't want to see you get stung . I am considering a GTR as my next car too, but anything that hasn't had a rebuild I am automatically factoring that into my budget as a future cost. I see it as a question if 'when' not 'if'. If you're not able to diagnose it - paying for someone who knows their stuff to give it a once over could be a wise investment.

dbking82 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yer if I choose to accept the challenge of the car I will be factoring in the rebuild, hence why I haven't bought it yet, and will be taking it to a specialist to diagnose the noise, so far have came up trumps with a video, they all really need the car to sort it out correctly.

SMOKEYV35 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Maybe ask the owner if you can bring someone out to the car and remove the cam gear/timing cover? Would be an easy way to check for rubbing, belt condition and deflection. There would surely be a member in your area who would do it on a Sunday arvo for a slab.

dbking82 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yer will be taking a member with me on the next visit. Once all my number match up I will give him another call to do a second inspection, and will let him know what we plan to do, prior to giving deposit.

Ben C34 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 so you are going to inspect it multiple times and then offer half what he is asking? I doubt he will accept it.

dbking82 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 One can only hope, there is a story behind the car so the owner needs to move it. If the offer is good enough to win him over, even if he is at a loss, then hopefully it will be sold, otherwise I have to raise the budget Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428258-weird-noise-r33-gtr-vspec/page/2/#findComment-6944739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryRB Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) That noise sounds like what my car does but worse, mine has 180k's , new belt and no cover so be interested to know what causes the noise, any pics of the car?

dbking82 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) Will upload pics tomorrow as busy today and not at home. Pics on phone are too large. As per k's visually engine bay and noise is not reassuring but everything else looks mint... Under the dust.
