I'm selling my R32 Nismo Edition GTR and I recieved this hilarious email from some "expert" on eBay of all places, thought I'd share it's a good laugh:

"Sorry mate but you may want to research a bit more before you claim something. Nismo never, ever, built factory r32s. In fact the first GTRs they ever released were R34s(10 of i think) which was not too long ago. They bought second hand r34's and did them up. I'm sorry but a previous owner in japan may have added all nismo items(V-SpecII N1) to the car but they were never released by nismo themselves. V-SpecII N1 models made by nissan used some nismo parts, but yours is not one of those. It doesn't even have brembos or V-Spec wheels. Sorry your number on the firewall does not mean 219 out of 400 either, that is part of your VIN/chassis number. Terribly sorry to disapoint you. Hey at least you didn't try and claim that it is 1 of the 100 australian delivered r32's as i actually own one of those. Good ploy though for trying to sell it. cheers"

My reply:

"You've got NO IDEA what you're on about mate.. quite amusing as you seem to think you're some kind of knowledgeable person. Do you mind if I copy your message and post it in my local club forum? The other members will get a kick out of that.

I especially like the bit about the number on my firewall, you've got no idea what you're talking about... hilarious.

Cheers for the good laugh."

Goodstuff...

this does not make any sense because he totally contradicts himself, first he claims the first gtr's were the r34's and then he goes onto say he owns an australian delivered r32, (unless he's so stupid he doesn't realise 'his' r32 is a gtr) funny though, thanks for posting it!

your tyring to sell a 1990 GTR as a 1991? with genuine 37K? how do you know they are genuine? cause the person that sold it to you said so... hmm $33K for what is a pretty standard 32 GTR. also can you tell me how you fitted your master cylinder inside the clutch? that is a pretty neat trick, if you can show me how it will save me some space in the engine bay. although i guess your car must be pretty special as it has more than 1 timing belt and 'front end' bearings?

Glad you're all getting a kick out of this guy..

It was a private "PM" in eBay so there's no public thread, unfortunatly.

His eBay name is "silvergho5t" anyone keen enough could contact him on ebay but he hasn't replied.. It's possible he has actually done some homework.

Relax dude, so I made a typo re: the "master" cylinder and timing "belt" geez...

I'm relaxed i'm just not a huge bullshit fan. c'mon mate, a car you bought for <$20K is now worth $33K? and please, genuine 37Kms... i just find that it's a bit rich to claim them as genuine without any proof. by all means claim it has 37Kms, but saying they are genuine to me implies you have some proof. also how did you comply a 1991 model under the 15yo rule?

First you're trying to tell me how much I paid for my car (<$20K?!?!?)

How do YOU even pretend to know how much I paid for MY car? Maybe you're a mind reader? And I dont give a rats what you find to be "a bit rich". Believe what you want, I have proof for any genuine buyer who looks at the car.

How come you're asking me how I complied a 1991 model under the 15 year rule? I thought you knew everything about my car?!?! Why don't you tell me how I complied it, maybe you also tell me how much that cost me?

What else can YOU tell me about MY car? This thread keeps getting funnier and funnier!! :D

Seriously but mate, mind your own business and go post in a forum that you may be able to help someone in. That's what these forums are for.

    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
    • This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
