yeah the wheel is DEf gone and will need to be replaced.....down the oil cap also looks abit sludgey

[NISSAN GTR]

Paint missing from intake - Excessive heat from track work possibly

Valley cover gone so the coils dont over heat while feeding it the fat!

[bcnr33-hks]

The Intake has a fc cover on it but I did notice paint peeled ....is it a big issue????

[scandyflick]

It's possibly a big issue.

Age, neglect, hard use, a bit of all 3...

Take it down to Willall, and have them give it the once over. If the owner refuses, walk away.

[trick]

doesn't look too bad, definitely needs a few experienced eyes over it, does need some lovn, but least it looks dirty and exactly how it is not all sparkly and clean then its suss as

I don't mind having a look over it, but just had a bubs so if you were looking at buying it soon you would have to bring it to me at Mawson Lakes

Really you need to get underneath this to investigate further. If i were you take a very close look at the vehicle yourself. End of the day you'll be the one maintaining it and only you can decide

When i was looking at buying my first GTR i had a look at a couple. The first was immaculate on the outside, as soon as i get beneath them things were alittle different. The owner was fairly hesitant to allow me to drive it onto a ramp which i found suspicious at the time. There was less then 100,000 on the Odo and that was clearly incorrect based off the under side of the vehicle. Keeping in mind you cant expect perfection these days. However oil/coolant leaks will only be visible from beneath the vehicle.

Most owners will go to the effort of cleaning an engine bay/exterior prior to sale but mostly neglect anything that's not visible. Specially beneath the vehicle.

However looks tidy on the out side, just take your time and pick the right one. hopefully its a great example Good luck!

Take it to a workshop got them to look over it might cost 200 bucks but they can go over with a fine comb

[ShyBoi]

Biggest thing to check is for rust on the underbody as if that's there like my mates, you won't past a roadworthy if its dodgy bodywork bog to cover it up and could cost thousands to fix.

As stated the underneath is where you'll see the biggest issues, oil leaks from sump or diff housings.

Check dipstick and see how old the oil looks if its serviced regularly, ask if timing belt, water pumps have been changed, seals around the head for oil leaks.

That's definately the worst steering wheel I've seen given its only 100,000kms, mines got 170,000kms now since I purchased it last year with around 130,000kms and still decent condition.

Mentioned cars been boosted, to what psi and who tuned it? Aftermarket ECU or just boost controller?

[bcnr33-hks]

yeah the steering hweel and gear boot shagged...no ebc only boost restrictor removed.....having a guy doing a full vehicle inspection tonight doing a compression leak test....owner did say 100k service not done called JMS quoted around $2k for full 100k service which i will factor into negotiating price but wanted to do the gaskets turbo gasket etc which prob be another couple g's so it is slowly adding up

[ZED X]

Do the 100k Service yourself That'll save you $1500 out of that 2k you've been quoted. I'm sure there are many on this board that would be more then happy to lend a hand. I'dd offer but i cant claim to be an expert.

I used to get all of my work done by a local mechanic... before buying a GTR. That changed pretty quickly. You'll quickly become accustomed to GTR Tax Unless you have deep pockets!
