Yeah have seen couple of pics of it and it looks amazing. Have you considered importing? I went thru J-Spec they are really good you just tell em what you want, budget and they start looking only extra fee is 1200 on top of total car price. But a good service

A V-Spec II NUR just went through auction in Japan with 338,000 kms on it, the price? 7,000,000 JPY which is roughly $88,900 AUD!

Get a nice GT-R while you still can...

See my above post, importing is getting expensive now that North America and the Middle East are interested in these cars.

You can probably find a clean car already in the country for less than importing one yourself from Ja-pan.

WTF? man thats crazy, so R35's should start dropping then?

R35s have been dropping for a few years now.

There are a few things to remember -

- The R34 was the rarest of the modern GT-Rs, there were significantly less of them made than the R32 and R33.

- The R34 had a few different model varients (like the V-Spec II NUR, N1 and M-Spec) which had reasonable changes over a normal R34 making them more desirable over a normal model than say an R33 GT-R LM is over a normal R33 GT-R.

- Americans are starting to purchase GT-Rs years before they are eligible to import into the USA and storing them meaning demand is greater and whilst supply remains the same, if not smaller. (There are certainly less stock ones going through auction in Japan each passing year).

- As of next year the R35 will be 10 years old and still in production (which I quite frankly think is lazy on Nissan's behalf, we deserve an R36 already)! Nissan hasn't had a production run on a GT-R even close to 10 years, ever. Couple that with the fact that the R35 was an international release (available in places brand new like the USA and Australia) where as the R34 was Japan only. There are a bucket load more 35s than 34s out there which means they are easier than ever to get your hands on one forcing market pricing down rather than up like the R34.

Haha :P

I've now been around the scene long enough and know enough people to know what's going on, but it's all common sense really.

As awesome and fast as an R35 would be, I'd take a nice R34 every day of the week. IMO they are the best looking Skyline/GT-R and will always have that bedroom poster/hero status. I think the smile factor of driving an RB powered R34 GT-R is where its at.

      I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
