junkie

These cars have become collector/investor pieces now, average Joe who just wants one to drive and enjoy need not apply. They silly prices will be paid as long as the car can be re-sold for more later down the track

Check the battery terminals. May have a loose cable or corrosion buildup

That seat says 192,000. And is that a legit N1 cluster?

Won't be an issue. All these products are safe and fairly gentle

my 2c on the topic of these prices 1. People with this kind of cash to burn on an old Skyline are collectors or investors, they wont be interested in 90% of the overpriced cars out there. Proceeds of crime will generally go into some kinda AMG, RS Audi or other farting Euro. 2. US interested is overrated. Once the smash the subscribe button youtuber crowd lose interest and the RHD fad dies down thy will move onto the next big thing. 3. Too many cars are sold as is, with damage, very iffy mileage, cluster swaps, worn interiors and bad mods. Nobody will pay top dollar for that. 4. Most people who love these cars have already gone thru ownership on the past and have moved onto something else. 5. New generation of P platers only seems to be interested in fart tunes and wont pay 40k for a non turbo R34 GT. Cant impress the ladies with an old Skyline

I would normally rinse with low pressure, spray everything with a good all purpose cleaner, clean with various brushes starting from underside of the bonnet and working down. Then low pressure rinse and dry with a leaf blower to get any remaining water out of any crevices. Any leftover bits can be dried by hand with a microfibre cloth. Last step is 303 Aerospace on all the plastic bits and of you are really keen, spray wax on the painted parts. Cover the alternator beforehand and keep water away from any intake components and that's pretty much it.

That passenger seat has a few stories to tell I bet.

if you have never done machine polishing before, watch some youtube tutorials first. I also suggest buying a cheap panel from a wrecker to practice on.

What you did there is fill in the scratches with various products and once they break down, the fill in effect wears off. The only way to do it right is with a machine polisher and decent pads. Even with the machine process you can get some false results, so you need products that remove polishing oils to properly check the end result of your work, before any wax or sealant goes on.

I keep an eye on carsales. Most cars dont appear to be moving due to insane prices. One GT-T with some mods and ~200,000km has popped up for 73k... same money will get you at 2017 C43 AMG with a quarter of the mileage No wonder they arent moving

Back in the day I always wanted a pair of 1200's and a DJM-500. Never eventuated though

They are a hoot to drive, still have fond memories of the Hertz rental 275 on the Old Pacific Highway Ridiculous cornering ability, hard ride, enough straight line speed and a whole heap of fun I would have bought one if it wasn't for my narrow driveway

Top quality work on the red car

I had a full quarter + one door done by Sefton Smash. Top quality work

For the price of a stock R34 you may as well buy a current model RS6 and add this https://www.mtm-usa.com/collections/rs6-avant-c8/products/mtm-ecu-conversion-stage-4-audi-rs6-c8-1001hp and still have a useable stupid fast car

I would buy a locally delivered Infiniti FX instead. Pretty much the same thing with less insurance and parts hassles and a lot less chance of odometer tampering.

Hate taking my cars anywhere, have had more damage done by shops than care to remember. Even my most recent visit to a tyre shop resulted in chips and rattle gun marks on all four wheels. Complained to the manager who was willing to hear me out but left it as I didnt want them pawing at the car anymore or offering shit fixes that would make things even worse. Panel shops are my biggest pet hate. Orange peel, buffer marks or buffer damage on trim, overspray, sinking filler with under paint scratches, broken clips, loose piece of trim, fisheyes, visible paint edges, poor colour match, list goes on. Of all the panel work I had ever done, I was only happy twice.

35 bucks for 5 litres full synth 10w-40 Nulon. My tractor spec SR has a much quieter top end on the stuff
