Scam for sure.

$6,700 and no phone number and it's still on carsales...

On another note, I wonder why scammers always ask around $7,000?

are you sure your looking at the right one? i cant seem to find it. and the one that i did see did have a phone number.

if i get the vin number off her can i check it with the rta or the police or something? ill only buy it if go see it aswell. maybe take a metal pole would be a good idea? hah

ive got an R34 GTR Vspec for sale if you are interested

$11,050 with 24,000 genunine kms on the clock and std vspec with exhaust

no phone number, you can't come and check it out, but deposit the money into my bank acct and you can pick it up a 3 days........

lol but thats the thing i dont get how can i be scammed if i can go see the car and if she does have a phone number? ill pay cash only

re-birthed, writen off and repaired, repossed car, locked in finance, engine mangled with unknown reliablity, other unknown car faults etc

there are many ways you can be suckered in so its your choice. once you pay the cash, guess where the contact goes to? disconnected number.....

please don't do it

its a load of crap

no right person in their right mind would sell a reasonable ER34 for that price

at worst you would put it at 11,000 and wait for people to call, $6700 is scam alarms

specially sammers like to make up believable stories and rely on the human factor of caring and trick you into thinking it's genunie

its the first way hackers break into networks etc, they use stupid human tactics to fool you and trick you

alright no worries dude i didnt think of rebirths thanks

there's so many wars to lure people in so just be careful. no one wants to fork over their hard earned cash for a nice appealing car to be ripped off

if you want to check out some honest owners and cars for sale etc come to the monthly sau vic meetings and meet some local members

at least you can talk to them and see their cars or ask if they know any friends one's for sale. also a good way to check prices and get advise before buying

we meet monthly

Where did you find this 34?

well im actually from NSW i was willing to travel to vic to pick it up, is there a nsw one?

Dude, you can pickup stockish r34 gtt's with a few mods for as low as $14k now from legit sellers. The prices are plummeting hard. R34's are getting old now (10+ years) and people are desperately offloading them. There is no record of those plates currently being registered with vicroads either so it is very likely a dodgy sale.

ah i see, no worries then, thanks heaps for that!

how can i check vicroads? and nsw roads?

http://www.vehiclestatuscheck.vicroads.vic...au/Default.aspx - only for Victorian Registered Vehicles though.

As for NSW, check RTA site but only show up if it's registered or not from memory.

Maybe what she is saying is true tho you never know, you could be getting a bargain, if your willing to risk the time and money to come and have a look at it then i would reccomend having someone do a thorough check on it, that would show if its a lemon or a rebirth and also do the usual vic roads checks which will tell you if its stolen, under insurance or has a current defect notice on it, if all checks out then you may get a bargain, if not you have wasted probably around $500 and walk away empty handed.

maybe it hasnt been re-regiesterd..or would it still come up?

i agree with everyone else...sounds like a scam..but do all your homework and if it turns out legit you got yourself a bargin

mm very true to the last two guys, how do you prove a rebirth, defects, and anything bad?? my brother said do a revs check? idk what hes on about. surely i could call rta and cops and stuff?

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
