Hey Ken,

As far as importing goes did you help with the compliancing and everything?

Are we allowed to know how much the r34 gtr came up to in total?

That car is the car of my dreams....... if i win the lotto i will be giving you a call....

Yeah Frank's is a great guy! Know him for years, is a friend of my friend. They have a yard in Cannington near William St and now a new place in Vic Park.

He helped me out looking for a car, was looking at a black Toyota Chaser Tourer V, but didn't have quiet enough spendoolies for it!!

Anyway got a better car now!! Go the Line!!!

Dan, we bought the car from the East, has been in the country for a while.

In fact it was the 2nd one in and was on the front cover of HPI no9

Car has reciepts for $15K of engine work plus a LOT of money spent on handling( DMS suspension etc) and laps the Qld tracks quicker than Porsches on club days.

Lets just say the price was under $85K sitting at his house..

Cheers

HOLY CRAP!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!

That is an amazing price, you have sold me! should the time for me come to move on from SLY i will be knocking on your door!

saw that - thought the guy was a total prat.. burnouts to display the handling on a GTR?

Don't tell me you wouldn't if you had the chance :)

Tolley drives rally cars, I think he maybe doesn't feel at home unless there is some sort of wheel spin :)

Tolley has done a couple of segements on pauls car. One of the guys from DriveTime TV is a friend of pauls.

But yes seeing your future car on TV with someone thrashing ze crap out of it would make me think twice about buying it - especially if you are going to fork out big dollars for a car.

Exactly Niz

He has little respect for a car that will become someones pride and joy one day after shelling out a considerable amount of money.

Cheers

I didn't see the tv thingo. If he didn't stand on it till the tyres blew up then I reckon thats hardly thrashing it, I'm guessing the car didn't even do a good burnout.

But as often as I hear the comments about how people "wouldn't buy that car because I saw the owner do a burnout...." I am reminded of how we can all be quite hypocritical in this situation. I've caught myself a few times. I sold a gtst that on top of going to the drags (worse than a burnout) ran a nitrous kit that I used. The owner knew about what I did to the car and dispite the abuse it was in great nik.

R34,

I think you could have said the same about the dearly departed 'buffy' before mike bought it. What was the nick name again buffy the comodore slayer? :rant: Mik ended up buying a great car, granted it would have been better value if an old granny had owned it but, not by much. Skylines can take it without stressing too much.

The tv coverage is great for any prospective owner, since it was seen by so many people there is no mistaking the kind of activities this car was made and used for when the owner comes to making a decision of purchase. I think a video record of a cars life is a great idea. What would your cars video be rated? G for general veiwing or MA for mature audiences only? :rofl:

Couple of points there mate.

I was referring to doing a burnout in a car.

I'm not a fan of burnouts as I feel they are too hard on a car requiring no special driver skill.

But hey if your into that fine and if you own the car and have paid for it you've earned the right to I guess. My objection was to "borrowing" a $80k plus vehicle and caning the ring out of it.

Having said that I've never subjected any car I care about to a burnout (ie Buffy the V8 slayer) but have enjoyed taking a car to it's and my own limits.That's enjoying a car as the designer intended.

Secondly if an old Granny had owned the car instead of me it would be minus the gear that was included with the car. It may not have been serviced regularly by granny either who knows. Most people here would rather a lightly modded car with some fruit on it over a stocker I guess. Depends on how you define good value.

Well I went in and had a look at the bayside blue GTR today......

Not impressed with the condition of the vehicle - but as some of you know as a fussy bugger..... pus its a not a v spec

    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
    • Hey guys. New here. I am having an issue with my hr34. The fuel pump isn't turning on. I removed it from the tank. Bench test it. Wasn't working. Order new one and installed it today. Still not turning on. Checked the relay. Relay has voltage on the contact side. I jumped it and it tuned the pump on. Which lead me to checked the coil voltage.  Turned on the ignition and had my meter across the coil and there wasn't any dc voltage. Had my meter lead on the positive and I used the frame ground and noticed there was 12 volts. Which lead me to believe the relay isn't getting a negative signal. I traced the wire ( black with pink strip).it goes back to the bottom on the steering and it gets lost into the harness.   I checked at the ecm and I can't seem to find that wire color.   My question if any one knows is. Can I not just run the negative through a ignition relay to turn on the fuel pump relay?. Or anyone ever had this issue and if so how did u go about fixing it.    
    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary.
