Hey Guys

AS most should know I am in Eastern Europe atm, I have a client who wish's to buy a R34 GTR.

He is not sure to get a V-spec or a standard one, or one thats slightly modded.

What he does want it a fine example of the car for a good base model to modify later on OR have some "tastefull" mods allready on the car done the right way.

Would be good to know when it comes to 34 gtr's the average mileage on engine, how when is best to buy ? which models to avoid or which ones to seek?

Any info would be appreciated, we have many means of importing the car here so thats not a issue, even a private sale could wok for us.

The Client will be registering on the forums and im sure he will have many questions !

So any ideas ?

Thanks guys

Anthony

I know these guys personally : http://www.global-auto.ne.jp

Talk to Tsukasa Matsumoto, he speaks good English and will get anything you want, and give you all the advice you need about local Japanese GT-Rs.

Seriously give them a look before anyone else, they're very well known in Kansai and I've seen/driven a number of their cars (not only GT-Rs).

My apologies for bringing this thread back from the dead, but I have considered contacting Tsukasa and cannot find a way to contact him\her

Can anyone help?

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
    • Sell it and buy a turbo version will make it a lot faster
