Sounds fairly reasonable coming from a dealer. Although being a 2000 model I believe it is still a Series 1.

Pros:

- Sunroof

- reasonable mileage (if you choose to believe it)

- Few mods

- 12 mth rego (around 1.2k)

- 12 mth warranty (depending on what they cover)

- 24 hr roadside assist (about $80/yr)

- Manual

Probably could still be bargained down around 2k depending on how desperate they are. Best to test drive it and get it mechanically checked out.

If you look hard enough there are plenty with similar specs going from 25K +

1.2k rego!?!? why so much?

dam, i was hoping it was a series 2!

scene as they install parts i might ask for rims or FMIC instead of lowering the price.. what you think ?

Is it from a place on Bell rd in Preston?

PM me if you want any info on this company

Opps sorry I was thinkin insurance...yeah regos around $600+ p/yr

Series 2 have a different front end...but to double check all you need to do is check out the interior. S2 have the 2 tone steering wheel & gearknob (silver/black) and silver faced gauges..the neo cover on the S2 does not have the TURBO lettering in RED as well...

series II also comes with metal pedals ,,, the seats have different material

do a search,, there are a few threads on the differences between series I and II

32000kms could be real,,,

mine had 15000kms on it when i got it 2.5yrs ago,, and that was for a series II ,,

if its got an aftermarket speedo (i.e. nismo),,, then i doubt the kms are correct...

the condition of the interior and wear on the stearing wheel, gearknob and rubber on the pedals can give a good indication of kms,, (most of the time),,

I got my R32 Vspec from there early this year, i've been reallly happy with the car, absolutely spot on. I've know the guy for a while now and his very helpful. The mechanic that works there knows his imports too.

What colour is the car.

Last year my friend and i went and had a look. The sales rep tried to pass off as 32GTR as a Vspec, because it had the boot lip and some other insignificant item. Hope you didn't buy that one :yes:

Have you checked the VIN # with the NISSAN FAST s/ware? This will tell you if it is a real Vspec.

PS: R34 speedo's can EASILY be clocked back :D. The only way to check for real km's is to link the diagnostic computer to the std. ecu.

I am yet to be impressed with the quality of overpriced cars at this dealership.

yeh i understand all of the difference between the series I and series II theres also about 30nm difference with an upgraded turbo.

Well i have not heard much good news from this place, i thought that the R34 not being a 15 -10 year old car wouldnt have many problems.

I will go check it out, see what i can get out of them ie price or extra mods.

And then hopefully wont have to deal with them again, as long as the 1 year rego and RWC is fine.

hey i bought an r32 gtst from there and a mate got one from another smaller dealer in melbourne both

same price roughly and i know i should have looked longer cos his is/was definately in better condition.

most cars there are overpriced but thats my opinion just a bit of food for thought.

Its black, its got brembos. I havn't checked the VIN but 99% sure its a Vspec. This one was imported for me so it wasn't for sale. Its been a really good buy, very happy with it.

i flew to melb from perth to look at a car advertised in that yard (in preston) as "immaculate" and it was a bunky dirty piece of shit and i let the guy know after costing us $1200 in airfares and accomodation. luckily i picked one up from a private seller and its alot cheaper and spotless. this wasnt a skyline though. they had tacked up soo much stuff on it and wanted the earth for it, dreaming idiots i say. the owner said my idea of immaculate is too fussy, what a knob, when it had big scratches, rattly motor, tint peeling off, paint damage under door handles, interior peices falling off and half glued on, plus other problems. my description would of been something like "f*kt".

Ive looked at cars from JSA multiple times over the last couple of years and 99% of them are rubbish. I had the sales guy try some bullshit on about fixing all the problems id pointed out with an R32GTR I was intersted in, and then 5min later said they would have trouble getting in most of the parts.

Be wary, dodgy.

Cheers. Sandy

Lol - I liked the 1997 supra they had there - but yeah, it looked a bit too good for my liking and at $30,000 I ould easily gone for a r32 gtr + mods.....

Anyway - with any import its just a matter of looking at the car thoroughly before you even consider it for a test drive...

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
