Anyone seen the R34 GTR V Spec II N1 that was sold in the "cars for sale" section?

wow.

Bought for about 90k too, way too cheap, Nissan only made 45, and most were used in Super Taikyu by Nismo. Road registered too!!

[CRoNic...]

Was just looking at that ad, too. That's crazily cheap! Although, since the R35 came out, R34 GTR's have dropped dramatically in price. You can pick up mint R34 GTR's (non V-Spec or anything) in the low 40's landed and complied.

Just think, P platers in this generation are driving around in R31's and R32's... maybe the next generation of P platers in 10-20 years will be driving around in thrashed out R35's! Haha ah... now that would be a sight to see!

Yeah its been awhile!! I will be town next weekend..Coming Go Karting??

Check this thread out, it's a good read http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fa...;hl=N1+oil+pump

Your standard oil pump is rated up to around 330kws and N1 up to around 370kws. I still run my standard pump (has funky jap internals) and it's in great nick and I wouldnt have a clue how longs its been on there for, so you might not need to replace until you have had it out, but doing the crank collar is a very good idea!

Thanks Jess!!! some good reading there, might consider a higher grade pump (i like the limita launches =P) but will probablu behave and get a N1 with lotsa sump mods etc.

and i might come spectate at the go karts... a big guy like me in a small little cart for a long time, seems lik pain!! and not of the fun variety =(

f**k banks.

I applied for a loan to buy GRIM_32's GTR. Was refused because if my parents decided to kick me out of home, my income wouldn't be enough to continue to pay the loan off. God banks are so stupid. I told him that after I've sold my car, the remaining money would be paid off at the same time seeing as I have it in my bank account.

Oh looks like I miss out on my dream car, again.

Found these pics of GRIM and my car taken way back in April 2006

Nice Chad, mine used to look like yours did in that pic once upon a time, then i got a bit carried away! lol!

Now i just need someone to buy GRIM off me so i can start another project!

hey fishpaste, +1 for Shaun no doubt.

In regards to N1 oil pumps, remember one thing; everything in life has a cause and effect.

If your prepared to take the head off and install a restrictor, maybe modify the sump, consider a catch can, maybe baffles in your rocker cover, and are prepared pay the massive $$ for an N1 pump, do it by all means. You need to decide what the car will be used for and what sort of power are you putting out. I personally feel a new standard oil pump for a street car is fine.

Have you hooked up a decent oil pressure gauge to see what its putting out......low pressure doesn't always point to bad oil pump!

ie. you can run a new standard pump in a tight engine (low km or recon motor) and have higher pressure than a loose engine (worn out motor) running a new N1 pump.

Amazing how many people blame low oil pressure on oil pumps when a crank grind and new brgs would in some cases fix the problem.

The gallery restrictor on the top of the block will even add a couple psi to your oil pressure but keep in mind (from my limited knowledge of RB engines) volume is more important than pressure for normal street use.........at high rpm, most pumps will show reasonable oil pressure anyway.

I had a quick read of the thread that Jess put a link to on the previous page (where the N1 oil pump failed) and from the little I saw in the pics, that guy has issues other than the oil pump.

One day when I do a full rebuild and have the opportunity to do other internal mods, I will definitely consider an N1 oil pump........right now I just can't justify all the $$ for the cost of the pump and labour to install......not to mention that it will throw more oil into your rocker covers if you don't attend to the other mods that I mentioned.

I didn't realize that a new oil pump was part of the 100K service??

For most cars new oil pump probably isn't, but for a track raced R32 GTR its recomended that while all the other work is happening to it that you replace the oil pump at 100k service. And to me it's not really much money for a little bit of peice of mind and i do vaguley remember a conversation with shaun about it and he thought it was a good idea.

either way i'll still be dropping by boostworx and chatting with the guys there before setting it in concrete.

Wow! Crazy ...

And here I am worried about catching fleas, or getting a concussion from the way bus drivers drive

Glad I avoid public transport

Yeah I was reading that this morning. Did you read about the other killer? It's on the News site, too. Dude killed his 18 or 19yr old gf because he didn't want her to tell their parents he was taking drugs. He killed her, chopped up her body, took pictures of the body on his phone, went out to a party, came back, put all the body parts into different luggage bags and dumped them into a river!!

Oh and the cops found his phone and found the pics. They posted up a pic on his phone of this guy and his woman a few hours before the killing. It's crazy stuff!!
