Many people from this forum might remember the story of the black accident damaged R34 GT-R a few years back, and I think that the same people might be at it again. (Might)

The setting for the photos of this car looks very familiar. The background is the same in a few of the photos and the seller is in NSW. (Same as the 1st one) If this is the same people (and not just my superstitions and paranoia), I would expect that it's had some kind of accident in the past, and maybe even a windback.

Saw the car at a lansvale car yard as i drove past one day, decided to stop by and have a quick look. As soon as i started asking about papers and wanting to check the vin, popped open the bonnet , the salesman got called over by his boss and he took over. Didnt want me making note of anything to do my own checks. Gave me a life story about why he doesnt like people doing that and he has all the papers (but you need to practically have bought the car to see any of them)

About 2 days later i get a text from this car yard offering me the car (i have a WTB ad on gumtree) with a link to their ad, which lists the VIN number.

Seems pretty shifty to me, dude was SUPER reluctant to let me check anything but then lists it on the ad? and wont let you check anything yourself until lots of money has exchanged hands lol .. curious to see how this pans out.

I think thats the one, cant remember the yard or workshop name lol great help. But it is right next to the Holden dealership. GTR is out for show on weekends only so if anyone heads down the hume highway around there, you will see it.

Definitely the same place looking at the backround..it is possible tho that these guys put in a low bid on an R grade gtr,seeing the xx on the front panels and not really delving too deep...i mean if they hadn't seen it up previously,they could just assume it was bumper and panels maybe dented?put it through compliance then and again maybe thes guys didn pick it up?not trying to male excuses for them but it is possible...ud b going through the blue one with a fine tooth comb

I've inspected the BB 34 at lansvale.. It's full of rust.. In need of a full restoration inc removing body from chassis which isn't worth it at the price he wanted.. You couldnt even strip it and make a dollar as that many body parts were rusted out.. The car has sat in snow if you ask me. It was never complied and most likely never will be unless a drop kick complies the car.. You basically had to hand over the cash to see the vin and import papers. If any one wants more details pm me.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
