When he had it for sale on gumtree about 6mths ago and was reposted many times.
i tried to go look at it i emailed called n msg him but it just seems like he didn't wana sell it, not even a few extra photos after about 10 attempt of contacting him i got a msg for him on how his banging n bragging thats its a top import magazine bla bla bla that it.....

Seem like his advertising for his own eulogy for own satisfaction.

Same issue, contacted many times, After a few back and forth and being difficult to contact He told me to come Take it, I  organized the money and right before booking flights he told me it was sold... 3 months later updates the price(lowers it) and photos on carsales.

He was also bragging about being a Cover car for nismo .,,,, yet nothing under the bonnet is nismo lol.

While i didn't contact this seller, i can tell that, not answering the phone, not sending documents, or pretending they do have documents until you show up seems par for the course when inspecting/buying a Skyline GTR.

What was completely amazing was some people hated you if you called their phone, while others wouldn't respond to anything but texts. I just can't fathom these people. I had money ready to go as soon as I got documents and could have the car inspected. I even told them I would give them a  healthy deposit the moment they could prove kms or could show import documents.

Sadly it seems that a fair percentage of these cars are not what they are advertised. The two I saw were beaten to death, yet advertised as "good condition, suit collector, professionally built". No mention of the ruined panels or missing interiors, or the fact that they were clearly built in the driveway (just bolt ons, and not done very well). The classic effort was the changed dash and speedo. My god, the number of these was insane.

One of the blokes kept going on about how I was a racist even though i have no idea what his background was. I only knew his name, nothing else, just because I asked for documents he blew up! 

I almost gave up at one point, but i persisted and found what I was after. Keep looking you'll find something!

Never chase the seller. If he was even remotely keen to sell he would do the leg work.

It's not like it is 1OAK. There are plenty floating around the net for sale albeit much nicer too. I believe this is the same car obviously some changes have been made since.

 

Well, hopefully the airbag has been removed... Otherwise that cabin will turn into a horrible shrapnel filled box for anyone in the car in the event of an accident. I shudder to think...

As per my statement above, this type of backyard engineering seems to be pretty standard among the cars up for sale. When I look at a car and think i can do better (and i'm not exactly the most capable with a spanner), i know that the person who installed it didn't think about it enough and certainly doesn't do that type of work on a regular basis.

its drift sales-worthy people with a car thats now worth something. I'm not surprised. would be very frustrating to deal with. If i was in the market I would shop through SAU unless I was super desperate.

    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....🤣) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
