Genuine Nismo S1?

[TM7GTR]

so I've been looking through the auctions section on www.japaneseusedcars.com and I found something that is quiet interesting. Up for auction next wednesday is this r34 http://japaneseusedcars.com/auction/wednes...No-WUF5039.html that looks as if it is a nismo omori factory S1. Not sure if it is genuine or not due to no proof/engine pics, but it does have S1 decals on the back and side of the car, aswell as only 9,000kms on what would most definately be a new engine. Genuine or not, it looks like a damn good piece of kit for what is so far only 42,304.80AUD. Would this car even be able to be complied here in Aus?

to bad its a grade R

to bad its a grade R

yea, but i think you'll find that's because it has has modifications done to the car. Most of the highly modified cars that are up for auction have an auction grade R.

Hi.

You would have to confirm what you think it is as its only noted as a v spec 2. The reason for the r rating is repair to r/h front guard- r/h door and looks like r/h skirt or maybe sill.The kms are not genuine. With this r rating you really need somebody you can trust to inspect and advise.

not too sure what you mean by that, are the genuine ones only bayside blue? don't they offer a S1 tuning package either way?

no, they can be any colour, from red to MP3

S1 engine packages are offered by Omori, they are basically a stage 1 package, but built by Nismo

here is a picture of an S1 engine i took in 2006 at Omori

The car youve posted a link too does indeed have an S1 engine fitted from the description,

Jeez, some of you guys need to brush up on your auction report reading....

As Noy said, this car has been floating around at auction since May, mainly because it has been STARTING at 3.8 million yen, so goodness knows what the owner wants for it.

It's not a colour change, if it was it'd be marked on the sheet.

It's had a hit on the front right, taking out the quarter panel and driver's door, although given the owner still managed to get a replacement S1 emblem, the accident must've been a fair while ago (Nismo don't sell those emblems any more).

It IS a legit S1, build number S-005, it actually says so on the sheet. In saying this, Nismo only converted existing GT-Rs to S1 or R1 specs, they weren't a specific model like the Z-Tune was, which is why it's marked as a V-Spec II.

The car has had two gauge cluster changes, one in 2004 at 18,000km (most likely when the S1 conversion was done) and then in 2005 at 6000 (indicated), making a total somewhere around 33,000km on the car itself.

i miss read the 6, as a 60k, due to replying on my iphone

but your right, its a genuine S1, with the cluster change and now has a 320 nismo cluster in it.

colour changes are not always marked on the sheet tho, depends on how honest the auction house is ;-)

there must be something wrong with it, if its been there since may,

maybe if you inspect it close up, you would find out

most R34 GT-Rs (excellent ones) are approx 3.5minimum up wards so its in the right ball park but odd if its been there since may, something doesnt tally up

the "badge" looks like a sticker, which Nismo still sell tho

[Iron Chef]

The emblem is a sticker, yes - if you can source one from Nismo, then I'm all ears, I'm after an R1 emblem for my car. Last I checked they didn't have any left.

did you call Omori direct or did you just go through an agent?

calling direct is the best policy

you can still get them

[Iron Chef]

I went into Omori factory and asked myself

If you can get 3xR1 stickers, let me know, happy to pay whatever silly money they'll ask.
