Yeah I remember that auction. Approx 55k without buyers premium of 10%. Was asking about this car because of the rare colour and that it's a V Spec. One of 12 according to GTR Registry. Probs going to have to pass regardless given the ADM purchase but dayum I love it. Was still annoyed that I missed out on another V Spec BL0 which required some work late last year for 18k :/

So, that owner wants 60k and the car is slightly modified will all parts supplied. Needs new headlight, centre vent needs replacing and nismo bootlip has a defect. Kinda put me off for that money. 

I will probably bide my time and look overseas as it seems prices here are a little crazy atm for condition.

Opinion on this car?

I know they have been caught photoshopping auction sheets before.

I went and looked at this car a few months ago for a Victorian member.......

It's OK but as prices have continued to rise it's becoming realistic.

I think they wanted nearly $50K when I looked at it. At $42-$43K it would be about right.

Cheers,

Bob.

Did they have auction sheets? Or was it bought privately? Assuming auction grade 4B. Also the sticker on the dash, what's that for? can't make it out from photos. Saw the old school front sensors and air demister or whatever which sits on the parcel shelf. Also radio isn't stock? Looks a little different to be honest.

I'm pretty sure the car was originally purchased at auction by heartbeat in Sydney.. They originally advertised it as a 93 model but its a 92. It was taken down and then advertised at this current dealer.

So these heartbeat cars place is dodgy? Or are they ok?

i have seen a couple gtrs for sale there, one was for sale with " 4b " but like mentioned above I had seen it at auction with 4c, was only there for one auction so must have sold, so they must photoshop the auction reports?

or am I just way off track? Haha.

 

From my dealings with them and talking to others who have bought from them i wouldn't say they're dodgy and their cars are of a higher quality although they have claimed them to be different years (to make them more desireable i assume) like with this car and another silver one I was keen on but anyone who's dropping 40+ on a 32 should be able to figure that out for themselves.

Zilla I heard the same thing and that was what I was referencing. Was a big fuss on facebook when it was pointed out by Japan History check or whatever. He changed a 4C to a 4B and also adjusted the KMS to what they should have been etc etc.

This is the reason I ask as this is the car, if you look at vin number below in pic.

This is at heart beat cars, and wondering if they provide the same auction report as what was at the auction..

It sold first time at auction so if they have a report with "4B" then they would have altered it..

    • 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?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
