Bodyboarder81 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Because they're better I thought you were selling the 70 and wanted something cheaper until the gtr came? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 If the 370z was sold, I would have got the GTR already, I want something to play with while I'm getting the 370z ready for sale, brand new paint, sell the twin turbo kit, exhaust, fuel return system, injectors, fuel rails etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Yes, but worried a bit now... I think I'm just going to risk it Edited May 3, 2015 by octet@TORQEN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes, but worried a bit now... I think I'm just going to risk it I made sure I bought a car that already had the IMS upgrade, otherwise it was something I was going to do. Not really a big job to do if your that worried about it & also a good selling point. The cars with the upgrade certainly sell for a bit more so it would be money well spent. There is risk in buying any used car & always seems to be something that could fail with every model. look at the vq35de, lots of engine failures due to improper fuel, oil.

nissanman312 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 When do you expect to get the gtr? This year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes, Sept / Oct probably, perhaps prices will go down a bit as the weather becomes worse. Might happen even earlier, depending on how soon I sell the 370z and the rest of the parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 No. None of the DFI engines (MY09+) have an IMS to fail. Essentially it's 9x7.2 cars and on, as the 987.2 2.7 Cayman non-S isn't a DFI engine. That's why I specifically bought the 911 I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 If it lasts 3-4 months I'll be alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 My mate had a 996 911. He had a oil seal blow which he had repaired along with a full service costing a grand and then had the ims fail on him causing him a full rebuild at hartech costing him 6k I think? He had the car for 6 months. 3 of which were spent in the garage. But he is the type of bloke to own one just to say he had it. The thing was ancient and I think it cost him 10k. Knew it wouldn't last. Has put me off a bit, but would mind a caymen. Will wait for the later ones to come down in price a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
