scan0001.pdf Hello All,

I have a BNR34 red top engine for sale, it is one of the few that can have its history certified. I is in a 99 V-spec GTR that was imported into Australia in the early 2000's. I have the original dash at 17,000kms and a Nismo 320km dash sitting at 112,000 in the vehicle currently. The engine has been serviced religiously at 5,000k intervals and uses no oil, the only engine mods were HKS cam gears that weren't dialed in and a N1 water pump when the timing belt was replaced 5,000kms ago. Outside of that it ran a HKS EVC, Garret 7's, Pods and Apexi FC, all to put a modest 389 hp out at the wheels.

We were looking to rebuild the engine, but have decided to go with a N1 power plant instead.

There is an issue with the engine, number 5 cylinder is running low on compression 12% out, the guys at X-speed believe it to be a cracked ring. So if anyone is interested this engine would suit a rebuild, we are looking for offers now as you will be able to see and feel how the engine is running and make a decision based on that. I have no doubt this engine will run as it is for another ten years, it runs perfectly the only telltale is that is was breathing a little heavier than normal under boost at 17psi.

Engine location is Perth WA, please get in touch if you are interested. I am being completely transparent here, I have no doubt I could sell this engine for a lot more without disclosing what I know about it. If you would like to chat to the cars mechanics re the engine, please contact me first thanks.

I'm interested as well. Looking at a build but want to still drive the line. As per previous post, what does it come with?

PS I'm south of you so can pick up to avoid transport issues.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
