is it just me or has the TV2 GTR just above had it's bootlid resprayed??

Anywho, get the purple one!!! pure sex colour... not that fussed on the wheels, but you'd get a real good price for em so you could change to another set of 18" of your choice.

J-spec also allow $3.5k for compliance. Workshop i got my R34 GT-T complianced in sydney (with GTR approval as well) can do it for $1.3K cheaper than that, so it's a $64.7K midnight purple, V-Spec :)

the "shark gills" are V-Spec 2 front bumpers i think?? No, wait... i i think it's a Nismo front bumper?

Hi all,

I am seriously in the market for a mint R34 GTR. I currently am leaning towards buying one locally in Australia unless other owners suggest otherwise as it is alot of money that I would rather have something to show for asap rather then wait weeks/months etc.

Just need some advice on what to look for, recommendations etc?

I live in Darwin and previously had a R33 GTR and loved it but, now it is time to step u to the plate.

Yeah, Go the Vspec....looks meaner.....sounds better....more words to describe your ride when u say R34 VSPEC!

I've got a Gunmetal coloured VSpec.......Bayside Blue is cool and I've seen a few floating around.....but Gunmetal is the next blue....it's a little bit different.

That is not standard bumper.

I prefer this superb bayside blue 2000 GTR V spec on carsales, gotta love those 'shark gill' vents on the side! :D (btw how come only some GTRs have them?)

Bayside blue the best colour for a R34 GTR

I would question that Midnight purple GTR. I would not buy it until I had verified with FAST that it is not a respray from another colour. There were only 400 Midnight Purple Pearl III R34 GTR's made so to see one cheap is .... different.

Oh and 67,000kms on the Nismo speedo .... showing wear like that on the standard steering wheel... How many Km's has it really done? Noone knows...

V Spec 2 Front Bumpers are no different to the V Spec or Standard GTR's

The NISMO Front Bumper Bar however is a slightly different design

oh yeah, doesn't have the sharp edges of the Nismo... Tosh got it :(

yeah, just had a few vents added, i don't like how it's TV2 for the whole bumper though, including the lower lip

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
