everyone thinks theyre car is the "best" one in the country.. i bet theres about 400 better examples than ur car out there champ

And I bet you're wrong :)

Easily one of the nicest GT-R's I've ever seen...

But back on topic, get the body checked out as mentioned, as well as the mechanicals. Good luck with it.

As other people have mentioned, Aaron's R34R possibly IS one of the best in the country so unless you've seen it in action, I'd be careful of what you say about the car.

As for GTA, I bought my car from GTA back in 02. If you would like an honest opinion of them, PM me as I can't tell you everything about them on this public forum. I can tell you that they weren't very helpful when the car failed and I needed a repairer ASAP due to their negligence.

When I had the car checked out, they simply said that they'd pay for anyone I chose to do the check as long as I bought the car. At the time though, I didn't know of Racepace but if I had the knowledge I have now, Racepace is definitely the place to go to check out your future car.

Thanks for all the info.

yeh man, Gals smash repairs are pretty good. had some work done their. Speak to dave, he's the owner.

Can't go past Mick @ MiColour at 7 Dissik Street Cheltenham. Many of regular SAU-Vic members have used Mick and swear by his work (me included). He's not as cheap as some out there but his work is 100% perfect once the work is done. He's also a major sponsor of SAU-Vic which means he'll give you a member's discount.

Thanks for all the info.

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
