R34 M Spec On Gumtree

[RB30DE]

Does any one know anything about the R34 GTR M spec that is Currently available on gumtree?

I'm interest in it and want to check it out soon, but I just want to know if anyone here knows about the history? The km looks very low, everything is factory beside ECU and suspension? To me that just a bit unusual, without any other upgrade,I will rather leave the ecu and suspension with factory item

I went to have a closer look at this car on the weekend. where do i start. in short this car's condition DOESNT reflect the km's travelled. its showing its age and is more worn. just a few things i spotted were:

- paint isnt in the best condition, looks like its spent alot of time in the aussie sun, for example the rear wing blade is faded and starting to chip

- missing front diffuser, i didnt ask if it was just removed and stored away or not, but i assume its missing

- its riding on coilovers (bilsteins) so it doesnt have its m-spec special shock absorbers anymore

- the leather interior is worn, lots of cracks and drivers seat particularly worn

- front bar left hand side looks like brake fluid may have spilt over it?? there is a stain there

- steering wheel is much more worn out in appearance for its km (my steering wheel has done nearly double the km's but much less worn in appearance

- car doesnt have factory floor mats, the floor mats appear to be one of those ebay made ones(i could be wrong here, might be nismo??)

- the car is in that yard on consignment

- as i was just tyre kicking out of curiosity i didnt open the bonnet so cant comment on engine

sorry its very late, and thats all i can think of at the moment. My honest opinion is that while not necessarily a bad car per se i wouldnt be paying anywhere near the asking price, it needs quite a bit of tlc but for the right money it could still be a worthwhile buy. Fabcar are just down the road for a third party inspection recommendation. Good luck

Thanks for the info. It's good that someone else has similar opinion...

May be I should check engine before anything else...the price just keep lowering which means something is going on

If the price of this Mspec is within your budget, have a look at this one that just popped up for sale in Perth.
