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.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
