Hi again y'all

Has anyone ever seen the Vic based white 34gtr with the plates K1NGTR?

Once again, I am currently speaking with the owner regarding the sale of the car. Below is the link:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbourne-cbd/cars-vans-utes/nissan-skyline-gtr-34-vspec-/1090378983

Apparently, the original cluster was replaced with the nismo cluster (owner bought) with 25870 on the clock (kms clearly seen on pic). However the original cluster had 78000km. The owner believes that the car has done around 100000km in total to date.

The car appears to be in pristine condition according to pictures with minor mods...... which is ideal.

In addition, papers will be provided to substantiate the cars authenticity. Just waiting for a copy and will go from there.

Your thoughts on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Pay for Japanese paperwork check from businesses like Japanese Odometer Check

This will provide u with a auction sheet and de-registration certificate. And of course usual pre- purchase checks.

On the other hand, sesh have prices for bnr34's have soared!!

correction guys, the car has done around 80k on the clock.

The original cluster had 79,878km

The new nismo cluster was put in @ 24,051km. Owner advised that he uses the car for show and has added an 1000km since the day of purchase and new nismo cluster put in.

The car itself is pretty much stock apart from the exhaust and the apexi pods.

I'll definitely pay joc to confirm car status before i go any further with it.

Should i even consider buying this car with a changed cluster?

What are cons if i was to buy it? Will it be a headache if i was to sell the car in the future?

Sure why not? JOC will will confirm kms.

I actually like the nismo white dials

I'm just assuming you're after a near-stock example (not sure if you've mentionned in this thread or the other one what you'll be using it for)

$59k seems a little high but around the $55k mark would be these days prices for such an example provided everything checks out.

maybe a year or two ago it would have been more closer to $50k for a stockish one

Yes, i am looking for a near stock 34. Im not much of a modifier, im more of a cruiser.

Just on the JOC website and it appears that they only report on kms? how about auction sheet?

Km reading means jack all. You could find one with 50,000km and be a total piece of shit and then you could find one with 120,000km and be extremely well maintained.

Any GTR will require money to keep up the maintenance, insurance & registration, modifications etc.

Check out the history by paying the $80 or whatever it is. Then get it inspected by a workshop and a report on the condition or go yourself at the inspection time and have a look at the car. From there you can make your decision before you decide to hand over around $60k.

This car was advertised for 38k earlier this year. It is a rust bucket. i would advise you to not get it as I have looked at this car myself. i found a lot of surface rust underneath and rust in the engine bay where the intercooler is.

Much appreciated mate. Ive moved on from this one.

It's already begun

At this rate, I can only imagine the rampant profiteering that will be happening to these cars 8/9 years from now

with that guy trying to profit 10k+ for what he purchased it for worst thing is he only purchased it this year.

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
