is it just me or has the TV2 GTR just above had it's bootlid resprayed??

Anywho, get the purple one!!! pure sex colour... not that fussed on the wheels, but you'd get a real good price for em so you could change to another set of 18" of your choice.

J-spec also allow $3.5k for compliance. Workshop i got my R34 GT-T complianced in sydney (with GTR approval as well) can do it for $1.3K cheaper than that, so it's a $64.7K midnight purple, V-Spec :)

the "shark gills" are V-Spec 2 front bumpers i think?? No, wait... i i think it's a Nismo front bumper?

Hi all,

I am seriously in the market for a mint R34 GTR. I currently am leaning towards buying one locally in Australia unless other owners suggest otherwise as it is alot of money that I would rather have something to show for asap rather then wait weeks/months etc.

Just need some advice on what to look for, recommendations etc?

I live in Darwin and previously had a R33 GTR and loved it but, now it is time to step u to the plate.

Yeah, Go the Vspec....looks meaner.....sounds better....more words to describe your ride when u say R34 VSPEC!

I've got a Gunmetal coloured VSpec.......Bayside Blue is cool and I've seen a few floating around.....but Gunmetal is the next blue....it's a little bit different.

That is not standard bumper.

I prefer this superb bayside blue 2000 GTR V spec on carsales, gotta love those 'shark gill' vents on the side! :D (btw how come only some GTRs have them?)

Bayside blue the best colour for a R34 GTR

I would question that Midnight purple GTR. I would not buy it until I had verified with FAST that it is not a respray from another colour. There were only 400 Midnight Purple Pearl III R34 GTR's made so to see one cheap is .... different.

Oh and 67,000kms on the Nismo speedo .... showing wear like that on the standard steering wheel... How many Km's has it really done? Noone knows...

V Spec 2 Front Bumpers are no different to the V Spec or Standard GTR's

The NISMO Front Bumper Bar however is a slightly different design

oh yeah, doesn't have the sharp edges of the Nismo... Tosh got it :(

yeah, just had a few vents added, i don't like how it's TV2 for the whole bumper though, including the lower lip

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
