hey guys,

was just wanting to see if anyone knew anything about this GTR or seen it.

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?Cr=1&R=9489616&keywords=&trecs=4&__sid=12E46D0BCB77&__Ns=pCar_LastModifiedDate_DateTime|1&__Qpb=true&__Nne=15&SearchAction=N&seot=1&__N=1216 1282 4294963846 1622 4294963593 4294950656 4294804078&silo=1011

Im from adelaide and am considering travelling to sydney to check it out but the last few times ive done this its ended up with me flying back home empty handed and paying for flights...soo if anyone has any info on it so i can save my time and money it would be much appreciated.

thanks guys

sorry I don't personally know the car but from the pics it looks pretty nice. the only thing that rings a small alarm bell with me is the "$1000 of resin work to restore the bonnet". that's an odd one. the VSII carbon bonnets are very nicely made and come painted on top and bare carbon underneath (with the vent also bare). not sure what happened to it that it needed a $1,000 repair job?

I'm also a bit suspect on the 49,500 kms. I have seen a few R34 GTRs with that many kms. yes they are 10 years old, but a VSII with 50,000kms should have very firm seat bolsters still, that one looks a bit worn (though it could be from an overweight driver, a heavy driver will wear the bolster out much quicker than usual).

all in all I'd say if you're after a VSII in white then it's definitely worth checking out.

Just by looking at the NACA duct, I can tell it has fresh clear on it. The factory clear is not that shiny and it does fade and crack around that area. Why Nissan did not paint the duct with same colour as the car is beyond me. Perhaps they have a good reason for this.

Like Beer has mentioned, the bolster would be a concern as well. A big guy would definitely accelerate the wear and tear.

Personally, I would never judge a car by it's kms, especially an import and more so, a GT-R. Most of them seems to have super low kms which is total bollocks. Only a small percentage would be genuine and would believe it more if it comes with history.

Looks like the RH front guard has been removed as the bolt heads appear to have little or not paint in them, but it might just be the picture.

A white engine bay is good to inspect. The more kms she's travelled, the more "off white" colour you can observe. You can also tell straight away if there's any repairs done because a newer white respray will never match the old colour unless the entire engine bay has been resprayed. I've seen it once before where the whole bay was resprayed and was just too shiny to be a factory job.

Bit of surface rust on the rear diffuser support bracket. Mine has no signs of rust and it's still original. I would look further underneath for potential rust issues.

^ ^ ^ well said!

OP you certainly have experts here in Richard and Eugene to guide you re: possible rust, damage, signs of wear 'n tear, genuineness of odo etc.

That NACA Duct clear does crack in Aussie sun or even with pollution mixed with the elements in Japan.

The owner obviously had that cut back and repainted to the extent that the C/F look is no longer there. The finish could be a bit better tho'

Because it's looking to be a fine prospect...

Would the owner be willing to allow the car to be put up on a hoist and inspected by someone who knows their BNR34s?

there are companies that specilize in written reports on cars (other than RACQ) that do a really good job. right down to compression check magnetting for bog etc etc.

i had this done for my GTST. so i would def do it for any GTR.

it might cost you a few hundred. but they are very thorough and probably still cheaper than the flight.

      Turbo gods, some assistance and recommendations please I'm looking into a turbo kit for my 2.5 from MX5 Mania >>>>> https://mx5mania.com.au/products/copy-of-mx-5-nc-2-5-litre-engine-conversion-turbo-2005-2013 Power wise I would like about 200kw atw, and of course dose noises, apparently if you keep a stock 2.5 under around 200kwatw the engine and drivetrain will not hate life even when ragging on it a bit Max RPM on the 2.5 is around 6500rpm The turbo MX5 use is something around the disco potato size as  packaging room for the turbo is pretty limited, which will, I believe, give me my power goals I want and not have the turbo either under, or oversized, but the rear housing bit is confusing  It comes with either a 0.64 or 0.86 From my understanding, which so far is based off googling, so make of that what you will 0.64: spools faster = good Makes more EGT heat on boost = bad Less topend power than 0.86 = I'm only looking for 200 atw so that point may be mute????, I don't know, hence my questions  0.86: Spools a "little" slower = how much slower??? remembering 6500 is my max rpm Makes less EGT heat = good Makes a little more power up top = again, power goals is only around 200 Also, this is a street car, so there will not really be any long track sessions, in saying this I would want it so it was happy with at least 3 hot laps at Wakefield Park if the need arises  I already have a fancy pants triple pass radiator, and a oil cooler with thermostat will be getting installed as well Thanks for any information or recommendations you have 👍, and of course, the comments about me wasting money on drive in drive out modifications, or any other snide remarks about my manhood for owning a MX5 🤣

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy

      How much roughly to convert stock r32gtr to single high mount turbo + ecu and tune

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It is possible to do this stuff for "cheap". But you need to be able to get deals on all the bigger items, and it really helps if you're fully capable of doing your own work. As soon as you're paying retail for new parts, or buying "kits" because you can't fabricate necessary bits and pieces, and if you really need someone else to take the reins of doing the work because you don't have the space/time/skills/confidence to  rip deep into the car and put it back together in a working fashions.....then you pay. And these days, pay means a lot of money. You'd think things would get cheaper, but they don't. They just seem to keep getting more and more expensive.

      It’s almost the price of an engine build, you won’t have anything to bolt onto it though

      Hopefully it's enough to help with the temps! I was also only shit stirring, regarding Murphy's Law basically. I've found, what ever spare parts I have, are the parts I don't break. Ever. Also have never had issues with oil/spinning bearings until I put oil pressure gauges on the car. 😛
