There was an article from a Japanese history facebook page about that car being a R grade with wound back km's. Had 150,000 years ago. I saw the post about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Japan car history check is the page. How much are you expecting to pay for a 34 via the auctions at the moment?

If anyone buys a car from that mob, do a background check on the car. They have already had problems regarding winding the clocks back. I thought Edward Lees was closed down ??

Among other things I was told my car had 17,000klm on it , I said maybe for each wheel combined but the car was in good condition and the price was right.

Just be careful

Heard about that today. Hopefully seller knows

The seller knew part of the story I believe but didn't wish to investigate the rest.

I received another offer on my 34R as well as two on the 32R, discussed during the GT-R FESTIVAL. No-one on the 33R.

Hmmm...

Hey Terry, long time!

Walked around your 3 GTR's at the festival mate. Immaculate! Congrats on the Trophy.

Still looking guys, it's so hard out there. FYI, not for me, it's for a mate of mine. :D

Were the offers substantial enough to make you stop and think, should I :/

With the 34R, there was a definite figure thrown at me. It was quite reasonable for the year 2017 and equivalent to what the Chinese have been prepared to pay in order to get this type of car initially through HK.

With the 32R, the two offers were not in dollar terms - only that these two guys be contacted should the car come up f/s.

Well there we have it! What goes on at a Festival!

Which 32R was yours at the festival? 

Is it currently for sale?

Well I have just been through it but I am not an expert.

For a base R34 GTR with over 4 grading and less than 60000km that ticked all the Ironchef checks the starting price was around 85k landed and complied. Mind you with the current exchange rate 89Yen to 1AUD this is closer to 80k. So it might of paid off to wait. However in the 2 months that I was looking only 1 car came up that ticked all the boxes so all things considered I was happy with the end result.

I am unsure about any other variations but obviously Vspecs or any other variation are more. 

Generally more kms or grading 3.5 and so forth are less. There was lots of things that the Ironchef guys looked at like smokers car, rust etc and I was advised against cars with too many mods. I wanted a stock car anyhow as I think these will do better over time.

The similar ones I saw on carsales from dealers are around the 95k mark (and none of these have less than 60000 kms) so I think a 75 to 85k price is about right.

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
