Would anyone be able to give me some advise as to what to check or question about the R34 in general when buying?

Thax

Just a quick one hint for 34's,

they seem to have a defect with the brake light on the boot gathering water, check for rust marks around the light itself, that should give you a good indication.

[jakez88]

give jap cars in fawkner a call and see if they have some in stock..those guys are very helpful and have some of the cleanest cars coming in from Japan.

Thax for the advise

On my way over to test drive a 98 model 34 out right now

+thanx for the heads up on the brake light

Ill have to give the fawkner place a call

Thax again

BUY MY CAR!!

Whats your reason for selling?

[Bass Junky]

No, Buy mine.

Own the Legend.

[cheez]

Whats your reason for selling?

bit over it. wanting to go 4wd. since i busted up with the mrs been getting back into my hobbies again more heavily, shooting, fishing and the like and a skyline isnt really appropropriate.

Currently looking at this 34 great interest:

damn thats quite a big difference...gtt to gtr lolz...hope u get the gtr though..it looks hot as...thats not a stock front bar is it? looks different?

[Downforce]

it's a top secret front bar. and at $78k for a vspec II it's a bit pricey... regardless of the mods. doesn't look like a top secret car to me. nice seats though

[Johnny]

^^^ +1

nice car and definitely worth about 70k...not 78

with the yen taking a dive; the sellers taking advantage of it...think about it; that gtr is probably 4.3-4.6million yen + 20% taxes to land it here + shipping and profit

[PAV34]

I dont think that's a Vspec II, looks like it just has the bonnet.

That car was built by Top Secret for some famous Japanese baseball player, its got his name on the customised leather front seats.

I bought my 34 of SSV a few years ago, they are great to deal with and have very clean cars.

[adznight]

No, buy mine....oh wait, it's gone

[Downforce]

When did you sell yours Adam?

[singlehelix]

Right so hear is were im at...

Basically the GT-R was in good condition (Sounded unbelievable!) however not as good as oh-low s by the looks of his photos.

Had a look at the car up close the other day, as PAV34 said it was owned by a famous Japanese baseball player

who took it to top secret and spent about $30,000 on it.

Going to catch up with oh-low at some point to check out his 34.

btw:

Are there any local meets in which are going to happen in the next week in either Sydney or Melbourne?

Travel between the two states frequently for work.

Make sure you take it to a tuner for a mechanical inspection for oil leaks, compression test/dyno. If you're keen ask them to look at the spark plugs for signs of detonation.

LOL 1 fault the back right light!!! so true sucks hard always replacing the light!
