I hope someone can help me here.

My boss (runs a dealership) once bought a R34 GTR in yellow and sold it [cheap] a couple of weeks later to make a quick profit. The guy that bought it knew his shit and the day before he picked the car up asked for the VIN. So he paid for the car, hopped in it and told my boss that it was was 1 of 3 in Australia. It was completely worked from the factory (apparently had a roll cage built in, but covered up by carpet and pillar covers??) Not knowing my boss was kicking himself afterwards lol.

I would supply a VIN no. and pics if i could find them but i don't at the moment. They were apparently built by nissan to compete in racing then they cancelled it. I know this information is kind of pathetic but I thought it was worth a try.

Could it possibly be an N1?

What kind of R34 GTR's were produced in such limited numbers, other then the ones listed?

If you can get a VIN, it should quickly clear it up.

Could be one of a few things though

1. N1's came in white, however this is due to teams quickly painting them in there own colours

2. could be a run of the mill GTR prepped by NISMO for a one make series - haven't heard of one, but not a far stretch

3. Could be something limited like an N1, R1, Z-tune (unlikely) etc which was bought and the retro fitted with the stuff you mentioned

Either way, sounds nice and rare or not, find those pics :-)

Sounds more like the bloke buying it was making up bullshit. I had a bloke telling me his old man bought a WRX from the dealership in Bathurst, but when they built it in Japan they had accidently used a WRC shell, so it was heaps lighter, but a made a few odd creaks etc when the body would normally flex because it was heaps stronger... A roll cage hidden behind the trim and carpet... You ever tried fitting a 1.5 inch diameter pipe between trim and the body? or making it impossible to see to the point a car dealer would not charge extra for it?

P.S., not having a go at RB27DETT, just the guy buying the car who was stretching the truth

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
