34gtr On Ebay...

[Guest Mashrock]

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.

wow factory 2.8l twin turbo!

Surely no GTR owner is that much of a moron?

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!

[RANDY]

Or ask something that only the owner would know... like the VIN "so I can check out the details" ;o)

oooh its got a "titinium" exhaust too... must be a new composite alloy I haven't heard of before

[LBR33]

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.

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.

2.5l, 2.8l, 2,600 litre.....he's messing with my head

[Tosh]

That's a V Spec II Bonnet.

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.

Nice car, verry nice car........ I need some money !!! please !

[fEkuaR]

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.

looks to be a 99 or early 2000 model v-spec not v-spec II looks like who ever owned it changed the bonnet for a carbon v-spec II bonnet the same has been done to a bayside blue 34 gtr in the latest HPI mag and they are trying to pass it off as a v-spec II

[julion]

when i first saw it, i thought you guys were over reacting.. but the guy has 0 feedback.. lokos very sus.. anyone got any replys to any questions?

[**JaR**]

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
