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.

    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
    • Yes, ther are plenty of [racist statement alert] terrifying 50+ yr old ladies of a certain ethnic origin who have no demerits yet still manage to park their cars on top of roundabouts, hanging out of multistory car parking structures and other wild shenanigans. Somehow they puddle through years of driving without ever attracting the attention of the cops, yet the whole time, they are an instant away from doing something spectactularly stupid.
