Sounds like the one I saw on facebook recently .. You can always get a Japanese history check done on it which should give you the auction sheet and de-reg papers. Also you could have the car inspected and comp tested for your piece of mind and atleast with the car being in the country you can check it out and drive it for yourself rather then dropping 70+ on something you haven't even seen. If the K's come back legit and it isn't a poor grade car then doesn't seem too bad a deal. Although it seemed to have a different number plate in every photo which looked abit dodgy haha.

Checked out Sparkling Silver R34 GTR in Vic on Carsales on w/e. Nice, pretty clean car except a bit of minor rust around radiator & engine clips & changed rear pods from silver to black & boot alignment slightly out so MAY have previous accident history???. Though main deciding factor not to buy was the last minute price jump from owner-eg we agreed on price on phone then 15 min before we met he changed price(higher)! Who does that?!

Still looking gazz1991[emoji53]. Might be checking out bsb vspec this w/e in Melbourne by guy who sent me pm. Sounds & looks good(on photos & paper as has all papers from Japan grade 3.5/b). See how we go. Also still checking Japan Auctions

Ps. If I buy bsb this w/e might just need new bumper & new front diffuser. I can source front diffuser but does any one know where I could find genuine S Tune front bumper(not Z tune as V spec Performance has those in)???

It's not that anything is wrong with current bumper, just has that oil cooler side vent that I'm not a big fan of. Thanks in advance

Well if you cant find a GTR i can sell you my GTT the car is stock original except for mags and stereo head unit and with the rest of your money put into the engine you would have a nice fast car,this car is in very good condition.

WAHOOOOO good luck dude!

Finally got my new baby!!! I'm now a proud owner of a bayside blue R34 GTR V Spec[emoji1]. Low k's, good condition & sounds & pulls like a dream at 306kw-(thanks a lot to Milan for his time, money & effort put in car). Milan was awesome with helping organise process & helped make my Xmas & year by eventually agreeing to sell me his pride & joy-I promise to look after her mate. After loosing my dad & best mate this year, was hard to be happy......but now that I've truly experienced(& own) my dream car, I can honestly say I'm optimistic & truly happy again! I now believe Passion can overcome misery, and GTR overcomes all haha[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji1419][emoji1419]

    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
