Does Anyone Know This R32 Gtr - Vic Based

[SMOKEYV35]

Hey guys,

does anyone know if this car belongs to a forum member?

And while i'm at it - can anyone see any glaringly obvious RWC fail issues - aside from PFC and boost controller.

Cheers

All silent......?

Sounds good from the advertisement - But check everything out.

Enough $$$ work done. Rebuilt - tick, good components used - tick

Special mention of replacing crank shaft - Tick

All paperwork/receipts for work - Tick

Who did the build ?

RWC Fail issues - A-Pillar dials, potentially Billstiens (height & adjustable)

Does the battery in the boot need mod plate. Is it secured properly and vented correctly. Using the Marine box is the first step. So looks like it's all good.

GTR being in Vic I'm not across your RWC requirements and the strictness of your inspection stations.

Having said that it has 17months Rego - TICK

Reason for sale ? would be nice to know. He's spent a fair bit of money for Nil return or enjoyment. (House downpayment (aka missus lulz)

Looks fair condition. But as you already know check it well or get it checked.

If all checks out I think it's good for the price and you can probs knock a grand or 2 off it.....

Any Rust ??

(Don't know it or of it. I'm in Canberra)

EDIT: Is that really OEM FMIC ? I don't think I've ever seen one...

Thanks mate, all good points. I think the rego must be a typo. Does seem strange to finish it off and then not tune it - but all questions to ask if thats the direction it goes in.

I figured it would have to be a member on here with the kind of work done.

Can't sell a registered car without a roadworthy so the plates will need to be returned meaning a full re-registration (at your expense I guess incl VAS for mods)

or

maybe he is selling it as a part out.

More correctly, can't transfer rego without RWC. If buyer gets RWC, you can continue on the same plates.

[SMOKEYV35]

I'm aware of the transfer of ownership regs. I was more referring to any issues that you can foresee that would prevent a RWC - like venting catch cans, the camber worn tires, PowerFC (would need stock ECU reinstalled to pass?)

Anyway - I tracked down the owner, so will drop him a line....

Correct. You can hand in the transfer papers and from that date have 28 days to provide rwc.

Non road worthy items would be

Battery..need to be properly mounted...easy fix

Pillar gauges..easy fix

Catchcan can't be vented to atmosphere..easy fix

Tyres.

Make sure no oil leaks.

Let the mechanic do these and hopefull he will pass the other things like coilovers and suspension mods, if any and exhaust noise..if too loud.

Imho car looks good value for money.

Thanks - what specifically needs to be done to the battery?

Car looks good on paper but I've got to sell a car before I buy another!

[XGTRX]

No sure mate but just have search for r32 battery relocation. Should have all the info you need.

I wouldn't be too keen on letting someone I don't know drive my car that's still in my name while they get a roadworthy.

My understanding is that even if they had paid for the car until it's transferred the previous owner is liable for fines and such.

When selling a car/bike, I usually am happy to allow the new buyer to drive/ride the vehicle under my name, but I make them sign a waver stating that it must only be for the purpose of getting a RWC, and time/date it from the second they leave your house!

[XGTRX]

Transfer papers are binding as soon as you sign them. Yeah it's a good idea to sign a waver also and make sure you note the time of signing. Once you go to vicroads the transfer is complete. Then from the date stamped by vicroads you have 28days to get a rwc if it expires I think they cancel the reg. Did this about 3 months ago. No probs.
