That still doesn't excuse the fact that you + a mechanic (if you aren't one yourself) + a person familiar with panelbeating/repairs shouldn't go in as a team with finetooth combs.

Powerplay

You beat me to it mate.

+ ME

Powerplay have been bringing in these cars for years. Joanne knows her stuff. Don't just look at there website,,,ring her. She's a cool chicky.

Tell her Neil with the Radical told you to ring.

They have tons of contacts and while a stocker may be hard to find,,she might just have one of her ex-sale car customers interested in selling.

theres a good r34 importer???? There all the same, its a big lucky dip, sometimes good and sometimes bad, if they do get a bad car comming in, they arn't going to send it back. On the whole the guys mentioned bring in decent conditioned cars but keep an open mind.

Ive heard good and bad stories from all the companies mentioned above (some are from prsonal experience and others are from friends and other forum threads dedicated to good/bad experiences with these guys). Don't worry too much about the dealer, look more for how the car drives, how it sounds, how it feels.

At the end of the day they are used car dealers and will peddle anything that they are stuck with, so really you should go out and see these guys ,but cut out the crap that comes from their mouths and make your own decision. Warrantees are not worth the paper they are written on, and have plenty of extra cash lying around incase something stuffs up on your 10 or 11 year old r34, like a clutch is the main culprit, no one knows how long the clutch will last if they dont know the history, and they arnt cheap to replace.

If i were you i'd find cars forsale on SAU forum, then you have a history of what people have done to their cars, already published online, you can see if they maintain it, how they drive it, if its had any problems or any upcomming problems..... you can also talk to forum members who may know of the car and give feedback about it.

goodluck

End of the day keep an open mind, ignore what the dealers say, always haggle the price down, if you get a decent saving from excluding a warrantee then do that because they will fight tooth and nail to avoid a warantee job, besides they dont cover, tyres, belts, transmission, clutch ect..... and these are things that usually go wrong on the car. RB engines themselves are pretty reliable, everything else you can test the car to feel if it will have a problem later down the track (well atleast reduce the risk of buying a lemon).

very true.. each car really speaks for itself. the level of service is also important but i guess end of the day, they're there to make a sale still.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      brake clearance depends on spoke design GT-R size I'd go 9.5 +15 or +12, and if you've rolled your guards, 10" +20. People run 10.5 but I reckon that's too wide.

      I was using Realdash App on my entertainment unit in the sil80. Can connect over USB/bluetooth, can set up warnings and is discreet and doesn't stand out bonus was using android auto so had maps and music still going. Put the dollars saved from a screen into decent ecu, sensors and other upgrades.

      Here’s something I was wondering. From the colour of the fuel that came out of the old filter and how hard it was to take it out, I would assume that was clogged AF! Do you think the car was running lean during those times? And would it now run better now that the flow is better? Or would it run rich for a while and then start adjusting?  I’m not really sure if the R34 ECU adjusts to changes like this. I mean it’s an ECU from 2000, not AI 😂 But also, interested to know if anything like that is there.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Have made a start on the dump pipe. Ordered a few 3.5 inch bends and pie cuts. To make fit up and tacking a bit easier cut some slots in an old t bolt clamp. It's been a tight fit but managedto get it down under the car but still sits about 5-6mm below the chassis rail. Have started to weld it out but not had much time. Also got new orings and gasket so intake and injectors are back in with all the water bypass done. Another box arrived with bits for making a  swirl pot off the upper coolant neck. PWR are still waiting to make my intercooler and radiator but should be ready in 2 weeks. Slowly making a plan for a few suspension arm upgrades for when all engine/driveline is done. Got a busy period for work  ext few weeks so not much will happen on the car.
