Hi all,

I went and inspected this car last Tuesday (18 Jan 2011) , and I probably would've bought it except that on the following Friday I was offered a new job on a much higher salary and as such I am now looking for an R34 GT-R. Nevertheless, I thought I'd post my thoughts on Matt's car.

* Body is straight. I checked all the weld points for signs of damage/repair;— couldn't find any.

* I ran a magnet around the body of the car to check for bog. Magnet did not fall off at any point. (I was quite surprised, no other R32 I've inspected passed this test!)

* Paint is 99% flawless. Only blemish was a minor scratch on the passenger side of the front bumper, no physical damage to the bumper/body.

* All the electrics work. Windows are smooth. Car idles/revs smoothly.

* Engine did not blow any smoke.

* Interior is in good condition. No bubble in the dash and the driver's seat bolster showed almost no wear.

* Some slight surface rust in the spare-tyre well. I inspected this thoroughly, it is only SLIGHT surface rust at this stage and has not moved into the metal. Would only require a light sanding to remove it. Otherwise you could just keep it garaged and it wouldn't get any worse.

* Under-chassis was clear of rust.

* Matt had the car idling for 15 minutes, I checked for oil/coolant leaks. Couldn't find any. Got under the car with a flashlight and ran my hands all under the engine/around the sump checking for leaks. Only thing I got was dirt on my hands. No oil leaks found.

Overall, it's definitely one of the better R32s I've inspected. And as I said, I'd probably have it in my garage right now if I wasn't offered this new job.

If I get time later over the weekend I'll post some photos I took of the car.

I wish Matt all the best with selling this 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...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
