dont know about all, but my grey 32 has a black engine bay.

so its either a 32 thing or a dark colour 32 thing.

Yeah my car is black so I assumed that the engine bay would be colour coded to the body... you must be right - must be a dark colour 32 thing.

Anyone with a red or white one who can substantiate?

And as for concourse cars... my car had won Nissan Datsun concourse club awards... but it's still coming to Sandown in October :D :D

I agree with the above comments.. keeping it concourse would become a sick fascination, as it would be a sin to buy this car and drive it into the ground, from a purists perspective.

But then again how is it any different from buying a NEW car?

Very true - there are many *very* wealthy people who buy new porsches and take them to the track, but can and will afford to maintain their cars to near show quality :D

I have a white BNR32 which has a white engine bay. The car has had an exterior respray but I am pretty confident the engine bay hasnt been sprayed, but I guess I will never know until someone else can confirm if their white one is the same.

Can we find out how much the vehicle sold for?

The car actually passed in becuase the seller has a reserve price set which wasn't met - it has been relisted again and is due to finish on Friday 24th now.

We can contact the seller directly and make an offer before the auction ends if anyone is interested? .. we can also arrange for a mechanic inspection to verify the condition of this car.

You can follow the auction here if your interested:

http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k7600785.

The current "Desired successful bid price" is 2,180,000 Yen

LW.

thats all good if you can read japanese or if you have a translator.

can anyone point me in the direction of a good translating program??

what was the price it was passed in at?

can we find out the reserve the owner wants?

The owner actually wants 2,180,000 yen car cost, thats around 2,300,000 yen FOB including a mechanical inspection - often the desired price is quite a lot higher than what they will actually take, especially if the car fails to sell for weeks on end.

It will be interesting to see the final sale price, especially compared to this 1993 model V-Spec also with seriously low km's @ around 2,940,000 yen ... http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/1098

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
