R34 Gtr Pointers

[Style32]

Hey All,

Im currently looking at buying an R34 GTR V Spec with about 40,000kmon the clock (in canberra if anyone knows it) however the speedo has been changed to a 320km/h one, anyway to find out for certain how many km;s are on the car??

Also as ill be new to the GTR range can anyone give me any specific to look for besides the obvious.

Maybe even someoen who has a GTR of their own could take the time out to come inspect a couple with me in the next couple of weeks??

Thanks in advance, Semo

first of all the word 'investing' probably isn't the right word to use when buying a car

As for the km's, ignore them, they don't mean anything, 99% of imports are wound back and made up log books etc.

Look at the condition of the car. Look for common wear marks. If it really has 40,000ks then the car will look brand new, there probably wouldn't be a mark on the interior and it should still have that new car smell

Look for wear on the steering wheel, the gearstick boot, the gear knob, the seats, the indicator stalk, the pedals, etc...

Get it checked out by someone familiar with GTR's.

A blue one?

Get it inspected from another place fairlly familar with R34 GTR's. Possibly Skyline perforamnce as they have an R34 GTR for sale as well ($95K on their website)

It's not this one is it? http://www.gtr.net.au/gpage6.html

Hey all

had a look at the car today looked EXTEREMELY neat, Interior was in perfect condition, exterior was in near perfect condition. the only fault was the inside of the left hand headlight had some discoloration. Any ideas on how something like that would be repaired id be hard pressed to replace a Xenon light.

ran really smooth and handled amazingly.

Still intend on getting checked from top to bottom, any recommendations for a GTR mech??

Yeah i always use the KM;s as a last point of call but its always good to have one with less.

And nope its white, dont intend on spending 95,000 for a V Spec these days, they are far lower than that, Thanks for the input so far.

edit: Ill say investment because it makes me feel a little better

I used to see that car at work a fair bit last year.(yes, I did spend a fair bit of time drooling over it ) Never meet the owner though. Always looked clean. It sounds sssweeeet.
