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

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

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?

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
