Wtb R34 Gt-R V-Spec/vsii Genuine Buyer Money Ready

[G0Z1LLAAAAA34]

fatz - what are the most common places for rust that you've seen so far? Chassis rails? Underneath boot carpet?

I'd assume he was referring to R32s. I don't think R34s will have much rust on them form my experience. But nearly every r32 GTR has fair bit of rust on firewall, strut tower, bottom of the rear wheel arch and underbody.

+1.

I've also seen a large quantity of rusty ones out there.

When I get a chance later tonight, I'll show you the underbody of a fresh import BB R34 that I saw shortly after I bought mine. You'll love it.

R34 are commonly prone to rust around the rear boot brake light, I've also seen rust around the strut tower welds, window seals etc.

I believe the original Japanese location of the car will obviously also play a significant part to how exposed it was to salt.

Good thread, however maybe should be split in two parts and the bulk moved to the general discussion area and the other moved to WTB?

As above, found a few of those BB R34 GTR underbody pics.

Attached below out of interest.

Hey Mate,

I have no issues with people discussing, I have been getting good feedback from this thread regarding cars that aren't even advertised yet that people are looking to sell.

If mod's want to close or move it I have no issues either.

yea i think the less time spent in japan the better!

mine was imported in June 2000! was only about 1 year old, and cost the first aus owner a fortune, but had to move it on to make room for another car to add to his collection, and the gtr was the cheapest car he had ha. still sold it in 2004 for over 90k to the owner before me...

Ha funny you mention that.. I was flicking through one of my mates collections of receipts on his silver 34R Vspec after he bought it and he pointed out the purchase details on the car from the first owner in Aus during the early 2000's which from memory was somewhere around the $110,000 mark !!

Good to see that they have come within affordable price range yet still kept their value rather well despite their age. Look at E46 M3's which are newer than our Japanese counter parts, where ALOT more expensive once upon a time and these days available for under 35k with no dramas. Got to love BMW depreciation

Wow. That's appalling! Bet you walked out of there pretty fast!

It has a blue build plate dude, prettty sure thats not a Nur.

+ 95k on a Nismo cluster. Happy days indeed.

[iwanta34gtr]

^ After actually reading the ad, it does say the car had a Nur engine installed < 3000KM ago.

So if you do go and persue this one, I recommend you check it has the 24U stamp on the block to ensure its not just a standard 26 with the covers painted.

Thanks mate for clearing that up... I'm slowing learning about the 34's.

It's a new learning experience as I'm comming from a Toyota background.

You don't even need to look further once you see the front end. No scoop on bonnet, so it's just VSpec.

[God_speed]

Could have been an M spec Nur from the front end (no bonnet scoop), but seats and a bunch of other stuff in the other photos say no.

All late 2000+ bayside blue = bayside blue engine bay.

Earlier = black, which is standard gtr and vspec.

[lidz]

Dont need to look further than the build date, nur's weren't built in '99

[G0Z1LLAAAAA34]

Hehe since everyone here is discussing r34 gtrs, I will break the ice here. I actually like series 3 R33 GTR, in KN6 colour. And series 3 R33 GTRs are actually much rarer than R34s. Just saying

Iwas talking r 34 gtrs... Mind u 32 are far worse

Picks above say it all, easy check is the rear sub frame they surface rust first, then it's the sills then the rear end

I think earlier in this thread someone mentioned a mp2 v spec (that sold 1 year ago)that when i checked it out you could put a finger through the floor
