Hi guys

We are currently looking at purchasing an 1998 R34 for my son's first car from this mob. The guy's name is Hakan, not Dennis as stated in the previous posts on this thread. The car looks extrmely clean and has apparently done only 72,000kms (??), imported directly from Japan. We took the car for a test drive on Saturday and from what we would tell it ran quite nicely. Will be getting a full mechanical check done. He wouldn't budge on price though...should I be asking for anything else??

Has the dealer changed ownership?? We dealt with Hakan not Dennis. Any advice would be great

Hey Trish

Also was interested in that R34 for my younger brother, we went there today only to find out it was sold!

The car looks really clean, should be a good buy.

FYI the guy there is Hakan, Dennis is his son. People got confused as the business cards he gave out had Dennis on them & not his name.

Cheers

I withdraw my previous positive comments. I got defected for an exhaust that was already on the car when I bought it, so I asked them to fix it and write me another road worthy because they wrote a road worthy as it was. They wouldn't help me out.

for exhaust noise? if so that's an epa issue not a defect. in which case has nothing to do with the roadworthy they supplied with the car.

exhaust wasnt too loud, so no epa. Exhaust was too low, they sold it to me when it was 80mm off the ground, needed to be atleast 100mm. We worked something out so we are on okay terms now.

    • Big claims here.  Any links up on the website ?   
    • If your HP goal is reasonable and you are not drifting. Buy a new R34 box.  If the above is not true, buy a wrecked R33 box and put a gearset in it.  CD09 are not as strong as you think and the cost of / mess around of the conversion puts you in gearset territory.    Also the deal above is awesome,, get that  
    • Just got back from a little hands-on with a G58 Baron....I was thinking about this... ..best I can figure it, that pinny was tail-ended ...I didn't really think about the wiring, because all that mattered was the tank and pump cradle (I think I mentioned the pump itself I couldn't vouch for)...which didn't matter, as you said you'd be replacing the pump anyway.... ...'for some reason'....and I imagine this is the panel shop's doing... they've replaced the cradle wiring with a metre of 7-core trailer loom, and attached the loom plug (from a different car) to that. The actual cable run from the top of the pump cradle, to fuel pump harness end in boot, is maybe 60cm in length...so I've no idea why they did this... ....the connector in the boot of the pinny, is not going to help you here...because in theory, it should still be present on your car. On top of that, because they've done what they did, we have no idea which colours of the trailer cabling, have been connected to what on the fuel pump cradle (pump +/- , shield, fuel guage/low-level senders)... ...this means, best approach is to remove the pump cradle, and re-work it now ...not later. That is, if you were going to replace the pump, do it, replace the soft lines at the same time...and sort the wiring out (replace that trailer cable with the wiring loom off your old cradle)...
    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
