I dont know if many of you have experienced this but this is the second time i have sold a car that i truly loved!

Yesterday a guy from Sydney came up and put a deposit on my car, he was one of 4 serious enquiries generated by carsales in a week[not the forum sadly]. I thought at the time that it was a good thing!

I think i might be wrong! It all happened so quickly once i put it on carsales.

Looking at it this afternoon made me feel a little strange, like i was breaking up with a girl i really really liked! She [gtr now!] looked beautiful, better than ever and i knew she was someone elses!

Now i question whether i have a place on this Website! i can hear it already [that guy doesnt even have a skyline!] lol. I Just want to let you know this is a temporary thing!

I didnt drive my car often but when i did it was magnificant... I like to romanticise that i have now "set the car free" given it a new home that will no doubt give it more use. i hope he looks after her, i hope he doesnt subject her to bad things like neons or chrome wheels! I hope she can sing all the way to the 8,000 rpm redline!

Im gonna miss herl!

So with your kind permisssion i will still be lurking around my favorite sight, silently hoping that Nur's drop below 60k! then bang, Im back!!

Ben ,

Long time no hear , you should of kept it man , spent 15-20 k on it easily it will look , go and feel alot better then a Nur ......

whose the lucky guy in sydney ??

Moei ..

Hey mate, it has been a while

Dont think the new owner is a member, tells me he also has a 450awkw r32 gtr which in the future will be the motor that goes in the 34. It was a beautiful car and will be sadly missed. Have you still got your 2?

Just saw your avatar, 35 coming!?!?! Nice one Moei! i am jealous.

Mine was not a v-spec, but it was a mint car. sold for 45k. I think the new owner has done pretty well. I have all the 34's on carsales and there are only a few really nice looking ones and they are asking good money for them. The standout for me is the white nur with white te37's. Nice car, pretty dear though. Its amazing how many calls i had in the week it was on carsales. at least 3 would have bought the car.

The reason i sold it was simply a lack of use. Too much work, family, and little time. I also have other vehicles. The next car i will buy i promised myself will be used for its intended purpose. which to me means track work.

yes i could tell from the Front lip that it isnt a V-spec

or it doesnt have the V-spec lip extension.

oh well...better luck next time aye?

I know Johnny, he drove off in it today and it looked so good and the sound was amazing..

Well a good friend has an my04.5 e46 so i dont need to own one of those to enjoy it. I think in a while it might be an RS4 audi 6-12 months, i dont want 3 cars anymore. I get a company landcruiser or prado all the time, so the other car needs to have 4 doors so my partner can fit our little boys stuff in there.

I was even looking at Evo's today and thinking i should sell my girls prado and buy an my07 evo ix. If i dont go that way it will be Audi, or V-specII nur.

Good work hanging on to yours.....

The car will be back in Sydney by tomorrow and no doubt many of you will see it at the R34 10th anniversary cruise on Sunday. 654LAY qld reg

I presume he knows that the R34 GT-R 10th ANNIV is "ON" Ben?

If he doesn't, ask him to 'express his interest to say he's "IIN"' if you will. Ta Tez

Im big on the audi rs4! i drove one about a year ago and highly recommend poping down to the dealer; jst be careful you dont leave a (white) deposit on it....lolz

goodluck with the hunt mate

ps: sorry but i just cant consider an evo as a replacement for your gtr; would be like going from eating beluga caviar to a tub of lard

there is a really NICE looking evo 8mr for sale on SAU. White. If I had a 3 car garage I'd have got it.

No lard there. Quicker than an R34 I think.

well R34 GT-R was rated on Best Motoring Japan against 2002 WRX STI and the sti was a touch quicker.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
