hey guys

Anyone seen this car before:

http://www.gatty.net/gtr/

it's a gtst with gtr kit, stock everything, auto

if this used to be your car - or someone you know, or you have spotted it before then let me know.

My mate just brought it, import guy told him fresh into country about a month or so ago....but I think he's full of shit - turbo has now gone in it and no warranty...

I spoke to someone who swore they seen it on Sunny Coast area months ago - justw anted to know if the import dealer is full of shit

FYI: the stickers on the window and side are not where he got it - AJM are ok guys me thinks :O They complied it apparently for this 'importer'

and yes, my mate is a dumb f*ck...lol

am i the only one who thinks maybe you should check the compliance plate under the bonet???

Check the compliance plate it will have the date of compliance on it. I doubt it has been in a yard for 12 months. If it is a new SEVS plate it will be purple in colour the old ones were green. I didn't think AJM was a RAW, in fact I am certain they aren't.

why do people such bullshit cars? especially from dealers?? :D

Ahhhh! i know!

I see it all the time, so what if it has some graphics on the side, ive seen some of the worst examples of skylines at AJM and espesially at IVS.

They are terrible, interior is stuffed, engine looks tired.. they just spice it up and sell for more than a good example goes for. its robbery!

And yet people still buy them

Graphics on side of car from dealer = stay away. Graphics stuck on my car = buy it!! :D

Graphics stuck on side to suck in you impressionable buyer to hide fact turbo is shot, or probably bad scratches/chips underneath. Graphics cost $90, new turbo or paintjob costs big bucks.

I've seen some really bad stuff from dealers, even recently when I went looking for a skyline with my mate.

ok, here's what happened

since you guys 'known' AJM i'll lay it out

i took him for a cruise in my 33 N/A - 2 weeks later he was hooked so wanted one, he went down to brissie. SMS'd me told me he had picked one up cheap, looks sweet but is a auto - i told him to tak the fucer back :rant:

Anyway - we get it home and it's running like 1 pound boost, has GTR kit (copy) has some black volk rims as you can see - but closer inspections shows they are ****ED all peeling and shit, Car has had fresh re-spray - but a bodgey job. Sticker son side to add 50kw's :)

I ive him a few races and i blow him away, turbo just laaaags, doesn't boost at all - took it to my other mate who works at a import join on sunny coast 1 weekend when I was down therew for a drive and turbo is shot

So he rings AJM and they said 1 month only warranty, i was like WTF - 3 months i thought...but it's a 94 model so oder cars only get 1 month....

Interior of car is pretty bad, my n/a is immaculate - his has all scratches everywhere and big chunks out of centre console...

worst thing is it's a GTSt with GTR badge :D

i brought my car from http://www.mjrmotorsport.com - my clutch was ****ed when i got it (went 6 weeks later totally) I rnage and they also said too bad, offered to source me a 'cheap' nissan plate - but opted to buy a full Greedy kit - other than that i found MJR to be ok guys....unless you guys know otherwise?

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

      You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      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.
