Q: If this is an R34 GTR, why do you have it listed as a 2.5L? Does that mean its not really a GTR?

21-Apr-06

A: its a RB26 engine, 2.5l twin turbo. it is a real GTR. its a v-spec2. the NUR Spec comes in 2.8l twin turbo.

Surely no GTR owner is that much of a moron? :D

Sounds like the typical scam of someone listing cars for sale that they dont own, thus knowing nothing about the car itself.

Unfortuantely its very common, people rip photos from carsales.com or the like and use them to place false ads on ebay

Usually they take over someone else's account, then tells you to email the scammer at a different email address.

Plus it's usually $8000 that they list them for. I'll bet Blitz is correct though, it is probably dodgy. Ask if you can view the car pre-auction close... that will tell for sure!

its just a vspec too.....notice the sticker on the back says vspec not vspecII

The ad says 99 model , so it cant be V-specII , she also has yellow indicators but it looks like she may have a c/f v-spec II bonnet ( a little hard to see on the pic )

I agree with you regarding the c/f bonnet / NACA scoop.

It was interesting to read that the car has had the extractors changed yet the stock turbos remain. :whistling:

Then he claims "this car has never been thrashed" but has aftermarket ECU and 4-stage boost control. I wonder if could explain even half of the fabled $140,000 spent on a DVD player, exhaust, etc.

What a scam. Who the hell buys an R34 GTR and doesnt know the specs for it? a F#cking moron w#nker does. the number plates read "GTR 26V". you think the seller would know what the 26 would mean eh? i hate these people who try and rip others off. reminds me of an R33 GTR i saw on drive.com.au for $9,900. Bollocks!!! One of the most definite signs you can tell its a scam, is they tell you to send the payment to an overseas account, or is if the car is overseas but they will ship it to you.

extractors hey.... interesting. hahahaha where did he install those?

Out of all the mods you would install on a GTR, why the F!#k would you go for extractors haha. I bet the seller stole picture of someones else's Gtr and posted as his. Ebay I swear is a scamers paradise, damn scamers alwell some poor soul usually fall for it so be careful.

lol thats soooo fake and exactly what blitz has said. if you are on ebay alot like i am due to work purposes you see this shit often.

also if your a seller they will try scam you in other ways. like lately i have been flooded with homo emails about " how i would like to offer you a set sum of $1,000 for your item and then ship it to my son in nigeria, so please send me all of your details and i'll do so right away "

usually addressed as " dr john smith " or some shit like that. oh no. its not fake at all :huh:

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
