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.

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • 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.
