There's two better one's.

Previous experience best to buy a fresh import direct from Japan.

Yeh I've seen them both on car sales and I'm pretty keen on the 2nd one but his overpriced it a bit for a stock car and won't budge on it. I'm willing to give him 27k for it but not 30k. But I don't have much to choose from in midnight purple GTR's. He did say without the wheels he would sell it for 25k which I'm seriously considering atm.

Yeah, other issue's are you don't know how much they've been flogged or how good a job they've done on any mods done.

I've bought my past 3 R33 direct imports from Japan (all stockys) at least you have the satisfaction you know the history of the car more than buying one here.

There's another Yellow one that just came up on the market. They originally were asking $26,000 but strangely put it up to $29,000.

It's got import paper's apparently http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1995/SSE-AD-3691719/?wt.z_driver=homepage_Recently_Viewed3

The GTR engine's are so expensive it's worth taking time to find a good one.

Goodluck.

Yeh that's always the risk you take buying privately is not knowing how much they have been flogged. I'm gunna go look at that midnight purple GTR this weekend and hopeful we can agree on a reasonable price. I thinking i might get it checked over by my mechanic before I buy it so I have a better idea if the condition the car is in.

How can you know more about the car from japan than locally? Isn't a full mechanical check by a qualified mechanic/skyline specialist suffice?

Because when they are complied the rules are stricter as they have to pass a pretty strict roadworthy

inspection. Plus you can get cars with Japanese history's. The parts in Japan shit over the one's we have here. Eg. A heavily modified Japanese Jun Garage car I'd rate over anything built here. The Japanese have better accessibility too to modified parts that suit these cars.

Sure a good mechanic here can inspect a potential car but lets face it, these car's are flogged.

And next to no one will sell one with a roadworthy certificate , even just the GTST's on the market 80% selling privately owned won't give roadworthys....

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
