  1. How are you actually reading the boost at 1.1 bar because the factory mfd only reads up to 1 bar. Does it have an aftermarket boost gauge? Only the Nismo optioned mfd can read up to 2 bar.
  2. 37.5k for a potentially shit car? NO thanks.
  3. Seriously, if you have doubts. Don't waste your time going there.
  4. R33 rims you can get under 1k but buckleys chance for r34 GTR rims.
  5. Yes that's a very good one. My GTT had that problem but interestingly, I haven't seen a GTR with that rust. Might need to look harder at other gtr's.
  6. a. It's never been more affordable to own an R34 GT-R than it is now. b. Anyone can own a gtr, it's really not that hard. From the experience I've had, they are quite a reliable and rewarding car to own and drive, albeit a bit heavy. Every car has their inherent issues. These cars are no different. If you can, pull off the rocker cover so at least you can check the general wear and tear. A car that's serviced with regular oil changes should have a very clean head. Coilpacks are a common problem with most r34's. They'll just die and replace them with Splitfires or equivalent. Check the bonnet lining. Unless it's been changed in the past, it will give you an idea of how hard of a life the car's gone through. Check for signs of panel repairs, although it's more than likely these cars have had a bingle or two due to their age. As long as repair was done properly, there shouldn't be a problem. My advice, don't get an MP II or III. They are next to impossible to colour match. The base chromium colour alone costs several hundred bucks per liter. Then you have to add the multitude of tints to get the colour right. Give it a good launch to check the Attesa is working properly. You can check the torque split on the MFD. A good solid launch will yield almost 50% split. If it gives you a weak reading, you know there's a problem somewhere along the system and it could be costly to rectify. Don't rely on the kms. Chances are it's wound back. Check for wear and tear on the driver side seat bolsters, gearknob, steering wheel, pedals. That will give you an idea of the real kms travelled, unless it's been changed of course. The diffusers, especially the front can and will cop a battering when the car is lowered. Hell, even standard height they can cop some serious damage and they cost about $1500 brand new from Nissan. Underbody rust, another common problem with these cars. Actually all imports really. I can go on but at least it's a start for you. I'm sure there's plenty of other, more knowledgeable people here that can chime in.
  7. I've got some bits in stock that you may be interested in. - Buddy Club Racing Spec coilovers - Ganador carbon mirrors - Nismo cluster white faced - ARC titanium cat-back - HKS front pipe
  8. Quicker than Flash Gordon on heat I reckon.
  9. Thanks to all that pm'ed me. Both tickets have now been taken.
  10. Pickup my new Blitz CS kit for 680 bucks.

    That 35 chop looks absolutely sensational. I'd love to see a real example on the road.
  12. I think they'll be perfect on terrys new ride
  13. Pm sent to you Long
  14. The MP II was actually my first preference after I ditched the blue one. But I couldn't find one locally so when an MP III came up, I thought what the hell, it's just as nice
  15. I have one last Blitz CS kit in stock if anyone's interested. Normally they are $749 plus delivery. I can do my very last one for $699 delivered. Won't ever be this price again as I'm not importing anymore.
  16. Mightnight Purple II were only available in 1999 and about 400 were made. Mightnight Purple III were made in 2000 and only 185 were produced. And one single MP III Z Tune was made.
  17. ^^^ That was my initial thinking as well as blue was the paramount decision on purchasing the first car. Only to realise what a stupid mistake I made afterwards. But that doesn't mean you won't be able to import a good one. You need to have faith and trust your broker and make sure you ask as many questions as possible. 2 out of 3 cars I've imported have been spectacular. Don't be put off from importing but at the same time don't forget about cars that are available here as well. And don't buy the cheapest one out there as chances are that it's a lemon.
  18. There's a cheaper way to make the r34's move a bit quicker than having to convert to 5sp.
  19. That kit is SE which is the entry kit. Ours is the CS kit.
  20. Just reviving the thread as I may have 2 spare tickets on the NSCC table. If anyone is interested in coming, I may have these tickets on offer. Please just pm me.
  21. It says, "100% stock car"
