Looking At This R34 25Gt And Have Some Not Too Concerned Concerns.

[xntrq]

I checked out a R34 25GT Auto Coupe today and some bits have got me a tad bit but does not worry me too much. I just want some opinions on it:

Nagoya Motors

This car was originally bought from Nagoya Motors. Can anyone give feedback on their cars they bring in or any experience with them?

Also complied on the 10/10/11.

ODO Reading

On the import papers, it states that it has done a little over 42,000 KMs (yes I did not miss any digits). Bright red flag here given that the fact the car is 13 years old. 99.99999999999% sure that it has been reset. But the interior is pure immaculate and I've never seen such a clean R34 GT before which supports the KMs by a 00.0000000001%. Barely a nick anywhere.

Should I be too worried about the KMs? Is there any way to verify the KMs?

All panels seem nicely aligned but I'm lead to believe the boot lid was replaced since it has a GTR badge on the lower right corner where your usual GTR badges would sit. Badge also looks genuine too.

Body

Driver side fenders have a big dent due to a hit and run, clean dent, no paint scratched off or severe enough to effect other parts. Could be a bolt on/off replacement?

Front bar is a fibreglass copy of the Altia bar that has minor crack.

Engine Bay - Googled Pic Attached for reference.

Some strange wires leading from what appears to be a factory fitted unit that sits on a golden bracket on the top left corner (driver side) of the engine bay, where most R34's I've seen have it removed. There is several wires leading from it, a few leading to the horn. Didn't get a chance to snap some pics of it but googled an image to get an idea.

Also "Y" pipe where the air intake is connected, has silver paint spray on it which I'm bit sus on.

Others

Nissan GPS unit still operational and in japanese - Can we convert signal to be used here?

GPS: as in the OEM fold up screen on top of the dash? if so - not doable and its a hand grenade anyway. I have built a system that "looks" oem but was not.

Nah man not that one. It's a single DIN GPS unit thats in Japanese. I assume it's OEM since it does have Nissan printed on the unit and is in Japanese. It's still operational but don't know what it says. It's got a flip up LCD.

In the spot, What goes here, some kinda module/relay for 4wd models.

then its the dealer fitted clarion. not worth the effort. $1300 buys a new clarion navi anayway.

The spray paint will be from someone respraying the engine cover. A true series 1 cover has red writing and is very rare to find in perfect condition. Next best thing is to spray solid silver to look like a series 2 cover. I was offered stupid money by a dealer for ny cover which was a perfect S1 example.

But I've seen the bracket that holds the module on almost all the 25GT's I've seen. Why would they need a 4WD relay?

The cover isn't sprayed and the red letters are still there. no signs of overspray around the cover, just the metal bit.

So that picture isn't the car?

[xntrq]

Nah its not man. I didn't get to snap any pics cause my phone was half dying and sunlight was low. Thinking of going in again today to snap some up with an SLR.

Edit: managed to find a pic online from the dealer it was bought from

You can see there is two wires blue and white on the bottom left corner of the pic, those two wires lead to the horn and to the black box where I asked "what goes here". Also you could slightly see the silver paint spray in the pic as well

Had more of a proper look at fast, the black box that goes there is the Wiper amplifier, the other smaller clip on bit is for a relay for 4wd models.

Oh right. What does the amplifier do and why would it be removed from most cars?

[Chris Rogers]

wiper amp drives the variable speed function of the wipers.

they wont work at all without it.

To bad mines not on sale till august next year lol no bs attatched. This sounds a little dodgy to me

Mines got 110 000km and the interior looks half the kilometers so interior is not always good judge of KMs.
