The auction grades these days should only be used as a very rough indicator, and the decision to purchase a vehicle shouldn't be made solely on the auction sheets contents.

The only way to be sure is to have someone on the ground at the Auctions personally inspect the car for you.

I have inspected 'Grade 4 & 4.5's' in person at Auctions while in Japan that barely deserved grade 2.

unfortunatly your correct grade 4 now days can be big variance depending on a lot of factors.

1. being who owns the car if its large seller known to auction house the give kinder reports.

2. being inspector is easy or hard or doesnt know really.

3. the auction owns the car meaning instant minimum grade 4

only way to do it now days is to get your man on the ground to check it with his own eyes.

also like to add - my car was graded at auction grade 3 ("very average")

it's absolutely immaculate inside and outside and has a full top to bottom months old Newing leather retrim.

non smoking, no rips tears or cracks, no scratches or crash history...

go figure! :bunny:

Yeah more recently I've noticed they're absolute shite. I'm not sure how someone could possibly get away with grading a car a 4.5 with an 80cm long deep dent in the roof. That's a dent nearly a metre long!

I've recently purchased a grade 4.5 car which was actually a deserving grade 4.5 car.

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
