TOPG34R

You certainly can however I think it best to respect the new owners confidentiality mate so for that reason I am not at liberty to say sorry.

No worries Daniel - cheers. This [R] has now been officially sold with the new owner taking possession today; I'm pleased she is gone to a good home! Thanks for all the interest and positive comments. Cheers Ben

FYI: A deposit has been paid / taken for the [R]

Yes I do, its currently on the vehicle infact as I changed over for the roadworthy certificate...

Hi All, Small update... Road Worthy Certificate now in hand and valid for 30 days. Therefore this car will have no compliance issues upon sale and also indicates the condition of this GTR. Cheers, Ben

UPDATE: Price now reduced to $61,990. I have had loads of interest, but no one has come through with the finances at this point - so perhaps this reduction will help as I am keen to acquire a new car soon. I am currently acquiring a Road Worthy Certificate so this car will have no issues at the point of sale. Registration is due in April which I will pay for so this car will be accompanied with a full 12 months registration adding additional value to the sale. I will also be putting on four brand new tyres due to the existing units having inside wear which equates to more value again to the buyer. Cheers, Ben

haha thanks krazy Hamishka - appreciate the comments mate. It will be a sad day when she is gone so in some respects I'm enjoying this period while she is still in my hands until that very day!! Hope all is well with you & the red demon.

haha - tks for the compliment Matt! If I had white TE37's and we happened to be parked together, I would represent the Black Yin and you would truly represent the White Yang ; the complementary forces in the unive[R]se! Your beast however is no doubt a couple of steps further in evolution than mine. Cheers Ben

PSI-FED: Funnily enough I was originally looking at a Bayside Blue, but was then converted to the darkside (black) after seeing a clean example on the road whilst I was searching for my dream GTR. I havent looked back since, however completely understand if your heart is set on B.Blue saf_R34GTR: Sure, will do & tks for the colour nudge. Undefined: Thanks for the offer, however not interested in a trade / swap at this point as I have my eyes set on another vehicle.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the positive comments! Cheers, Ben

Hi All, I am currently seeking expressions of interest to purchase my pride and joy. At this stage it is preferable to sell "as is" however may look to de-modify certain performance parts pending on buyer conditions & price. DETAILS: Vehicle: R34 GTR VSPEC Model: 1999 Colour: Black (Original paint in great condition) Rego: TPG34R KM'S: 69,445 (Original kms on original dash) VIN: 6U9000BNR34002782 (No security on the vehicle) Engine: RB26070149A Condition: Excellent all round (Body, Interior, Engine, Suspension, Brakes) Location: Victoria - Bayside / South East HISTORY: I am the third owner, originally acquiring the car in April 2009 from a private owner in QLD, having it transported down to Victoria by CEVA Logistics. As this was my dream car for many years I personally spent 6+ months looking for a black R34 GTR Vspec in prestine condition with original km's and was willing to pay a premium and travel to find it. Prior to purchase I also invested in both a fully comprehensive vehicle inspection and a compression & cylinder leak down test (have docs) which returned acknowledgement of original kms and confirmed that the vehicle was in excellent condition all round. This [R] has: *NEVER been in any form of car accident, *NEVER been to a race track in its entire history, *Has attended three SAU DECA events – I consider to be low impact on the vehicle. *I also have original import books + service manuals and most purchase receipts to validate both the parts / costs invested & for warranty. A major performance upgrade with all BRAND NEW hardware (HKS V-Cam, Turbos, Injectors, AFM's Racepace Exhaust / Oil Cooler etc etc) was administered by Chris of Racepace and tuned by Ben recently in 2010. This performance upgrade totalled $26,000 in parts and labour alone (have receipts to prove) and I need not explain the quality and credibility of Racepace. Since then, the car has only done 8,000kms as this is NOT a daily driver and is often sitting in my garage for days / weeks on end. Current power output: 340kw (wheels) safe tune as tuned by Racepace and provides very linear, useable power. The custom Racepace 4" free flowing exhaust also sounds menacing when on the gas but is perfectly humble and quiet when commuting around town; thus is the perfection of this ultra hiflow exhaust system by Racepace. This GTR is a dream to drive with a perfect blend of performance, handling and aesthetics; If you are looking for a very clean, low mileage R34 GTR V-spec with all the best bolt-on bits that money can buy, that has been treated with the utmost care and combines stealth with performance then this is the car for you. This car is also suited for someone who wishes to take it to the next level with a stroker kit, as that was my original intention. A 2.8l or 3.0l stroker will immediately see you up around the 420 - 450kw at the wheels with NOTHING ELSE to do and naturally paired with the special HKS V-CAM hardware already on the vehicle will deliver a whole lot more hp / torque from early on in the rev range.

I am currently seeking $65,000ono which would accompany any original parts in my possession. Current plates [TPG34R] are negotiable with the sale but at this point are not included. Reason for sale: Looking to acquire a European sports car as a daily driver. This car will certainly be missed when its gone. If you have a serious interest and the finances to suit feel free to contact me for further questions. Cheers, Ben 0467 061 761

A BIG thank you to SAU, the event director / managers, micolour for its sponsorship and the volunteers for putting together another adrenalin filled flawless day at DECA! No doubt this is an exhausting task to both co-ordinate and operate whilst enduring the harsh heat for the pure enjoyment of those involved. Also a big thumbs up to Leon in keeping the DECA heartbeat alive for future events. Cheers, Ben

Hey GDZ-14R, That aligns with my recent re-fill of both transfer & gbox; ended up using 1 x 4 litre container and basically having one 4L container spare. I was under the opinion at the time that the angle of the car on the jacks wasnt allowing a complete re-fill but I did attempt to lower the car into a neutral stance and it only took an extra 100ml without running out of the filler hole. Mate the new C's shifter is awesome, definetely a 30% reduction in throw and a notchier more precise feel. It also looks purty in comparison to the factory plastic black. I must say the construction of the C's shifter is of better quality and design than the factory. The only downside to it from my testing thus far is the heat (only slight) you can feel through the reverse trigger mechanism as a result of the entire shifter being metal; where the last reverse trigger was plastic and there was no heat transfer. The only other trouble you will have is finding one as they are as rare as rocking horse pooh now! Mind you, there are a few alternatives but not sure about the quality. Good luck with it & thanks for your response. Cheers Ben

Thanks guys, as per RPM's recommendations I have now sourced the Castrol Transmax Z for both the transfer case and gearbox! Thankfully local Bursons had 2 x 4L in stock. Can someone confirm how many Litres the 34 g/box needs - 4.5L? Did a search but have seen threads which state 4.1, 4.5 and even as little as 2L! Cheers Ben

Shite, thanks for the clarity Duncan! I'm glad I thought I'd check prior. So the transfer case has its own drain plug & filler? Time to buy a low profile hydraulic jack and source some new transmission fluid and gearbox oil. Thanks mate Ben

Wow I thought I may have been alone in this situation so it's re-assuring to hear I am not; certainly amazing to hear that its caused no issues in either vehicles over variable years/gearbox setups! If I saw ur message earlier I probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble I did however now that it's out I'm happy! I'm only left wondering if re-filling the oil through the gear lever entry point (after draining) has placed the oil back in the gearbox where it should be!? Thanks for the info & comments Duncan. Cheers Ben

Thanks for the info boys however I have a VICTORY ON MY HANDS!!!!! Went to Autobarn today thinking there is no way this fkn nylon bush is gonna beat me and cost me copious of time, torment + money in both labour to resolve and potential tow requirements; so bought a Kinchrome extendable claw with the intention of going fishing for the Nylon Lochness Monshta! I soon realised that the area within the gear selector access was quite large, and the extendable claw could drop down about 20+ cms if I riggled the rod down into all the various crevices on both the left and right hand side of the gear shaft! After 10 minutes of gently probing around and engaging the claw blindly with no success, I was on the verge of calling it quits when I found another crevice and engaged the claw and finally got a bite!! As I pulled up the extendable claw, this is what came up....(shitty i-phone pic) To say I'm stoked is an understatement! Looks like commitment and patience to the cause paid off in the end!! Thank phuk for that! Cheers Ben

Currently running a Carbon twin plate clutch which is lightweight to engage, good feel and offers a better bite. Not sure on the brand as it was in the car when purchased (if memory serves me well he stated it was a HKS unit but I'm unsure). Audible rattle noise when engaged but thats part of its character which I dont mind at all! Good luck with it.

So you think its highly likely it could be picked up by the synchros; hmmm damn! This one little part is giving me an epic headache thats for sure. Thanks for the clarity regarding Nylon, not rubber. I am hoping in a Synchro vs Nylon war, Synchro wins! But the R will stay in the garage until I better understand the probability/risk in driving it. Car will be going to Racepace motorsport in the next two weeks for some work so I will be clarifying with RPM before she moves an inch, but hoping someone can shed some light here before my chat with Chris on Monday. Cheers

The part I am referring to is this... I'm still in shock about this silly incident that has caused me hours of pain + probably more on the horizon!

Hey Guys, I must be fookin unlucky; as I was removing the stock gear shifter out of the gear select arm the rubber bushing at the end got snagged and fell into the gearbox! (Was in the process of changing to a C's short shift kit). Can someone advise what concerns I should have about this and any home remedies. *I have peered into the gear casing through the shifter hole and cannot physically see it anywhere, my first thought is that the rubber bush has sunken to the bottom of the oil pit (even though I would have thought it would float on top) *I then drained the gearbox oil in hope it would flush it out but no rubber bush eventuated - I then placed the oil back in through the gearshifter hole to further try and flush out but no go also. The angle of the car whilst on a jack probably wasnt favourable to it flowing out if even possible. My concern is whether the rubber bush can get caught in the syncros and cause all sorts of problems. I am hoping it will just sit on the bottom of the gearbox casing and not be collected by any of the mechanics but I really have no idea as I cannot find a 6 speed Getrax gearbox diagram or a picture of an open getrax gearbox casing so I can understand the internal structure and oil channel. At this stage the shifter works fine through engaging 1st to 6th + reverse however obviously I am yet to test in motion, nor will I til I understand the possible disasters. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Ben

Entry form + payment locked & loaded and just fired through the fax... Whilst I enjoyed the pol-position on the reserve bench last time I thought I'd get out of neutral early to secure me a position on the grid! Hoping its a little cooler this time round but it really doesnt matter either way as its worth the heat stroke! llama au: Call CAMS on 1300 883 959 as I just did and complete ya form today!

That's why I didnt advise at first until I got confirmation that it WAS for the BNR34 but it appears there are a number of ppl tracking these down as they are now becoming rare and are obviously a discontinued product line. Seek and you shall find as they say......I'm sure there will be others! The surplus of stock I found was in the US; I suspect there will be other traders who have stock or perhaps even check a US based GTR forum in the used parts section if there is sucha thing. I used the following extensions to search + more: *Comrade C's short shift kit *C's Short Shifter kit for R34 Skyline 1314 NL SKYLINE <-- this is the exact coding I purchased from - I bought my kit from a US based EBAY performance shop. *I originally found powerhouse racing through the GTROC UK forum also. Dedicate some time to google m8, I'm sure you'll come across one if you commit the time to it!

Powerhouse racing (Joe was his name) was the contact I was emailing as my second option; so your on the right path! He has however emailed me TODAY (after waiting several) advising the last kit has just sold!!!!!! So I'm hoping this was sold to one of you guys; thankfully I didnt wait until he bloody responded otherwise I would have missed out.

Hey Mate, I recently went on a mission to track one of these puppies down! Most of the time was confirming that the C's shifter was a genuine product and suited towards the 6 speed gearbox with the reverse trigger integrated into the shifter. 4 hours later I have now secured one - well, awaiting for package to arrive from the US! The good news is, I found two avenues who claim to have stock! The first of which, I just purchased from after clarification from pictures enclosed (image is of the unit pulled out of the C's box - 3 bolts/washers also included) The second source who has stock, is sending me pictures today to clarify his unit is also for the R34GTR. I suspect it is considering it was the same part code from the unit I ordered but he said he actually has two different types - so best to clarify naturally. Once I receive the return pictures I'll let ya know if your in luck. Ben
