i was at a tuner mate of mine, who's got a red r34gt in, hes just rebuilt the engine, full rb26 with all the goodies, fully forged engine, converted to single turbo, manual 5 speed ( nearly brand new, just rebuilt) with uprated rear diff being 4.3 ratio and a 1.5 or 1way from a r33 gtr custom rebuilt. (this thing can barely turn corners) coilovers, heavy duty clutch, custom exhaust /downpipe/manifold with 100 cell cat, only cut corner on this car is the turbo, one of the ebay nuggets, but otherwise, this cars engine build up is top notch!!! been following it since it got into the shop.

its running the stock r32gtr ecu as well, engine top is custom painted, in metallic cherry red with high gloss, like glass and the cam gears are chromed with the clear gear cover. (for a bit of show), now i asked the owner if hes willing to sell, and he said yes hes asking for 30k, he got over 20k in receipts alone!! is the car worth it?? or what would be a decent price???

registered etc

any help would be great.

Yeah as the above said whatever you spend on it doesnt mean thats whats its worth, I wouldnt pay 30 for it. Part of that is I prefer buyin stock and doing it myself its what keeps me entertained but even apart from that I wouldnt be willing to pay 10g more than a normal r34 just because its had some work done on it and then theres also the side of the more you do to it the more chance you get of stuff breaking.

For 30k I would buy a nice 32 or 33 GTR, a R34 GT with a 26 in it is still only a R34 GT.

This would be something I would look at for that money, or,

    • 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.
