Hi guys just spent a some time inspecting a R34 for purchase and found these spots of rust near around the strut brace on both sides. Rust was also present on the clips that hold the radiator near front bar and underneath the vehicle on the factory muffler.

Should i be concerned or is this a natural occurance?

Cheers in advance :(

Rust on the strut brace/tower might be an issue. I know of an R34 that was imported into AUS and ended up not being able to be complied and registered because of rust on the strut tower. Has this one been complied and registered yet?

I wouldn't buy it, I'd expect there to be no rust in that location, unless there has been some stress that has pulled the sealant on the welds.

The nut holding the strut brace looks like it's got a bit of salt corrosion as well.

It has been complied by the same dealer selling the vehicle and it yet to be registered apparently,vehicle was very clean though..

Many of the nuts at the front had some corrosion on them which concerned me also

Cheers for the super fast replies because i was considering buying it....

Don't forget its a 8-9 yo car that has been in a rusty enviroment all these years by the looks of it . Look for a cleaner axample or one that has been repaired so you dont see it .
you arnt being overly picky. do it right the first time and get a car you beleive is good.

you dont wanna waste money fixing it later on.

True that :happy: thanks dudes just gotta wait for the right one and be patient...

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
