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. :)

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
