A9H-RX Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 GTR braking on ebay and from the pics it looks as if nothing is wrong with it... According to him it isn't aloud back on the roads.. I feel he is telling porkies and trying to make a quick buck.. Seems fishy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-GTR-R35-FRONT-BREMBO-CALIPERS-CAR-BREAKING-/161171659038?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGT-R&hash=item258694591e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 There were loads of them getting stripped Like this import in 2009 for various reasons. I went to see one that was stuck in gear and nothing else wrong with it. That too had to be broken for bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 ***AUCTION IS FOR X2 FRONT BREMBO CALIPERS*** I think the point A9H-RX is trying to make, is that it looks like a perfectly fine R35 with less than 5K on the clocks and it's being broken for parts.

That is the exact point I'm making. Seems weird no accident damage and even if there was engine damage, it wouldn't benefit better in parts. My first assumption was stolen...

WhackyWill Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Probably been nicked and re-plated and now they cannot trace the original source of the car, so was sold at police auction with the proviso that it wont be allowed back on the road...

Lacky Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) I'm sure there was an s13 with the vr motor at last years Tokyo auto salon. They re-named it the 380sx. Looked the nuts. Edited December 29, 2013 by Lacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Odd that is a left hooker, most likely seized and its identity cant be traced so no documentation to be able to put it back on the road. We have a waste company down here who remove cars for the council, no road tax or traceable owner, stolen recovered, abandoned etc You cant even get parts from them, they have to be crushed. Of course there are some right wrecks, but some pretty decent stuff too. I used to buy a few imports from the two auctions at Southampton docks when we got the barrage of imports until the exchange rate went bad, occasionally they would get a car and the paperwork from Japan would get lost, no chance of ever getting it registered over here so they were sold for scrap! Shame though for what looks like a perfectly good car to get broken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It does seem a shame to break what looks like a tidy car but then some need to be sacrificed for parts to save the many I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 could it be used as a track car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 could it be used as a track car? Yes as long as it doesn't require registration or homoligation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 could it be used as a track car? Yes as long as it doesn't require registration or homoligation. Not necessarily, they might be required to break it as per the t&c's of them buying it so it specifically doesnt end up wearing flase plates/identity etc I am sure if it could be sold whole they would advertise it as being available whole and not be so specific.

Yes' I should have added as "long as they are prepared to sell it to you as a full car."..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
