UMM I have heard mixed reports about this car.... theres not to many around so i would say it is the same one. I have heard that it must have been in quite a large accident before hand as on the right upper arch just to the right of the drivers window there is quite a large crease showing that the metal has bent previously. For the crease to be appearing there there must have been a VERY large accident to the front right hand side.

Still thats not to say that the car would be MAD to drive and own but yeah thats some of the info i have heard about it.

besides many of the imports we see on the road has been in crashes...

correct me if i am wrong as this is just what i have heard.

Hi Guys,

Thought I better clear a few things up regarding this car:

I met the owner yesterday at WorksAuto, and yes he does own Northside Kawasaki. He's a really nice guy, used to own WRX's but has now seen the light.

The car has been up on the hoist and there appears to be no smash damage, so please no more rumors about the car:D

I am hoping he will join us in future cruises and possibly the PAS Autosalon. He is going to be spending a fair bit of money on the car and is happy to have fun on the roads with any takers:D

See'ya:burnout:

Fair enough, i do have one question though which i have seen with my own eyes, how is the crease possible without there being some form of damage on the right hind window pillar, i saw it out the front at auto salon and i can confirm it, a crease like that doesn't just happen from a small dent... and it's not like you running into curbs with your window pillar... then again i have heard some stroies about your driving paul:D

maybe the repair was very proffesional? i just dunno... I could be wrong but i'm just not sure about that crease.... any how i am sure he is very happy with his purchase! black looks quite nice on a r34 GTR!!!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
