I can't F**KN believe ur selling it Dan. DON"T DO IT. You're going to regret it. This is the sexiest looking GTT in oz & very well kept with tasteful power. Good luck with the sale Dan. Hopefully it will be looked after. :)

yea, sweet car dood.. I remeber seeing it ages ago. b4 you had the proper bonnet fitted. Ive always wanted the East bear Kit. Now that its a bit cheaper I might just get the Front end conversion

thanks Anth, hope your car gets all sorted soon :) You're probably right, i probably will regret it but i'm sure it'll make way for something else just as nice... hopefully :)

That's why i've advertised on SAU first (just put one up on ns.com the other day) as i'm hoping to sell it to someone who will appreciate it and look after it properly.

Gazz: i did the front first and but you just can't leave it after doing the front. It's so low and mean, it just had to be finished off. So i did :)

a few comments about the rear diffuser, so i thought i'd put a pic up. Car is quite dirty in this pic, so excuse that, but i'm working my way from the inside out in the big clean.

Again, professionally installed by the boys at Status Tuning - i was dubious about how much difference it was going to make, but i can guarantee you it does make a big difference. So much so, my g/f who is not the least bit interested in cars and drives an auto 'rolla could notice how much more stable it was at speed. You won't notice it puttering around at 60km/hr etc... but say accelerating onto the freeway or down the straights at Sandown... easily noticeable. Very happy with this particular mod. I think there's one for in the for sale section for about $2,500 if anyone else is keen :cool:

And for those with keen eyes, those rear tyres are the spare set of Bridgestone 265/35's (going with the car) - so i'm not even driving around on my near new KU36's at the moment ;) Might chance them over just before handing over the car, so as to keep them as fresh as possible for the lucky new owner :)

Gotta love the R34 GTR rim fitment on GT-T's.... flush :D

That's the cleanest skyline I've ever seen. Makes my genuine C West hide in the nearest dark corner. Best of luck with the sale, I'm truly jealous of the next owner.

And I think i've just been convinced to ditch my spoiler

don't go hiding mate! there are VERY few genuine kits getting around of ANY brand. Count yourself lucky if you bought it like that or good on ya for going genuine :)

still cleaning up the engine bay, but have pretty much finished tackling the interior. It's kinda fun, do a full-on detail... gone a little crazy. Cotton wool, paint brushes bought from Riot to fiddle bits... custom made vacuum cleaner attachments :cool: she's pretty much spotless inside now... but i'm tempted to start getting the cotton wool onto the seat rail bolts, etc... the small details that make the difference :D

here's some interior shots. I basically dismantled the whole interior (didn't take the seats out) and give it a real thorough clean. (cotton wool, Final Inspection GPC, MF cloths, etc) - the finish/paint on the interior parts for 34's is damn shite from the factory, so i did the best that i could. She's looking very shmick inside and the black floor mats are sooo much better than the standard nissan ones.

I'll get some shots of the seats as well. Contemplating whether to get Damian @ Final Inspection to steam clean them... last time he did as part of an interior detail it really didn't look much different, which wasn't his fault at all... it's just the grey colouring of the seats doesn't exactly show this dramatic change, even if they are absolutely spotless. They basically look the same. Might still do it anyway, even if it looks the same, at least i'll know they're perfectly clean.

You can see the boost controller install as well in some of the last pics.

And steering wheel, handbrake, gearknob are all original items. Might try some FI GPC on the red stitching of the steering wheel, see if it brightens things up a bit.

Interior has been cleaned more than this as well, all the kick panels, doors, etc. But basically just a wipe down with a damp MF cloth, with a bit of FI GPC, then wiped again with a clean damp MF cloth.

you missed a spot man...

lol i cant belive this is still for sale. and im guessing ppl know by know how anal you are about you car so this thing will be an awesome buy for anyone.

damn it just looks sooooooooooooo good.

the interior parts are so damn hard to clean! i resorted to using masking tape in the end! friggen masking tape! hahaha. I'd roll a bit around one of my finger tips and the gently press and remove on the interior bits to remove all the little bits of fluff etc. yes, i am completely sane.... :P

dude, it's only been up like 1 week hahaha, and only sau and ns.com, i haven't even gone to carsales yet!

and for those watching this car... let's just say i wouldn't hang around too long on this :D without going into details :(

I haven't even got to the paint correction yet ;) The shiny shots tend to get people going the most... interior is boring :P

This is one of the ultimate R34 GTT's for sale...

I can vouch for the care put into this car, just from the perfect condition of the Nismo rear bar and side skirts i bought from SS8 GOHAN.

Ladies and gentlemen if you want a car that has been looked after and cared for with a good history i would have to say this is it..

Good luck with the sale man and thanks again for the kit. Gee I miss the R34, You know you will too.

:action-smiley-069:

Edited by 99 GTT

thanks for the comments guys :cool:

and Trent, thanks mate. Considering how many 34's you've seen and worked on, i very much appreciate the comment >_<

And also many many thanks for all the work you've put into this car. Guys, this car has only ever been tuned by Trent. one of the best in Australia and the car has never missed a beat. Obviously, Trent has done the mapping for both E85 and BP98.

finished claying the car the other day, will be polishing this week. Pics to follow asap :banana:

omg I'm gonna be in the market for an r34 in just under a year but I'm positive I'd be hard-pressed to find anything like this...

ffs, I would probably feel unworthy of having it.

GL with the sale. I'm half-hoping it will still be there near year's-end, but I doubt it. :)

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
