no m8 this was the reply

"ITS IS A DAKAR I HAVE CHECKED MYSELF THE DAY I BOUGHT IT , BUT I WILL BE PUTTING PROOF ON LISTING AS FOR GIVING OUT CHASSIS NUMBER I AM AFRAID NOT ONLY FOR SECURITY REASONS."

would have thought the only proof was the chassis number and if he wont give it to me for security reasons then how else can he prove its a rb

I'd be impressed if this sight had proved it was a Dakar... I always thought they were the unicorns of the GTiR world! A mythical beast that people talk about, but who's existance has never been proven.
After all this time, it was just rotting in a field somewhere; case closed!?

Get back to him and say "Sorry, not your chassis number then; the model number." - I don't know why he'd care about the security; he's selling it, so it will be someone else's problem if the VIN has been released to the world.
Plus, proving it's what he says it is would actually increase his sale price; very few of us would bid on an unknown quantity like that, simply on the basis that some dodgy barsteward says so.

In theory your vehicle could be cloned by someone else (maybe with a cat C write-off) if they got hold of your VIN. But, as I said, that would be the new owner's problem.

So... it's had a few bids on it, and it's ending soon.
Should I be keeping an eye open for the parts when they come up for sale? :thumbsup:
Failing that, should I be getting all my spares together to try to make a killing when the new owner tries to restore it? :roll:

Looks like it sold at £1320 - that surprises me a little seeing as it's pretty much just a rolling shell. Despite what it says, I wouldn't have thought the internals would be much use if he's run it dry, and seized it. I suppose the parts are worth a bit if you were to break it, but I would have guessed sub £1k because you could buy a running one for £1500 that hasn't been sitting in a field for a year.

Was it anyone on here?

It wasn't Fire & Skill was it? He just bought a Pulsar that he said was a non-runner, and that had the intercooler (and possibly the exhaust) full of oil.

after a clean up the body work is mint, the interior is mint but mismatched seats front to rear, e.g. Ra front seats rb grey rear seats, light weight head lining and rear quarter interior pannels, the only thing i questioned was the rear wiper and washer bottle but i know this was an optional extra.
oh and windy windows for the extra effort approach.

The wheels are mint, i mite be tempted to sell them as i have some nice wilwoods and 17" super leggeras to fit on, basically it drives and the knocking isnt that bad, ive heard worse diesel cement mixers, it should be on the road within 3-4 weeks depending if i find a door hint hint

yes its definatley the bottom half of the engine, the cams are fine and not knocking, it sounds like it the oil pump side,

Later i will pop my camera down the spark plug holes to see the condition of the pistons and liners,

I mite try spraying it with WD40 1st see if that fixes it :lol:

My Original RB i have is a geunnie NME and yea its jap build but then most of the GTi-R's were,

i dont know the ratios between jap built, and other countries, were there any actually built in the uk??

I think not, i cant see nissan building 79 Sunnys in a uk factory at all. but then im just guessing again, and could be seriously wrong!

Plus i rekon a minimulistic ammount of chassis were built ouside of japan, if any. So by this assumption, probably 100% of parts were built in japan so all your arguments could be invalid anyway.
