1) It’s thrashed – I skid it, I slide it, I take it up the mountains, I race it.

2) I’ve pulled most of the trim out + air con.

3) It’s too low - 15,000kay old Racing Logics coilovers.

4) It won’t pass a RWC.

5) It’s in undercoat.

This is a genuine Australian delivered Lexus, plates do not come with the car, $2700 on a new gearbox, $1000 on new radiator, $1100 on new water pump, pulleys and major service, lots of misc things like o2 sensors replace and so forth done, mechanically you can not fault, despite how I treat it.

The guards have also been hand flared roughly 2 inch’s.

$12,500 or swap for something humorous?

u said mechanically you can't fault it...then why won't it pass RWC? Too low?

I was actually the next buyer in line for this car few years back when you snapped it up :P

Too low, coilover travel does not meet legal requirements, no cats, too loud need to put rear trim back in, and tires are debatable. Technically need to change the color of the car on the transport data base to match rego sticker..

Of course this can all be overcome depending whom you know and where you go.

Mark:

You would have to get your own road worthy, and transfer into your name (see above).

I can get a RWC that will pass, but I won’t be held reasonable for when you get defected driving it home.

The RWC I refuse to put in my name

Whats your name I dont remember dealing with you? I bought it from Chris, who bought it off Jason... then I swapped it to Josh for the Skyrice which I have spent way too much moneys on just like I did with the lexus.

Thats not even when it was at its best, when I get home ill post pics of the 6000watt RMS stereo system I had in it if i remember/can be bothered. Loudest Lexus in Australia :)

Main ingredients were:

2 x Blaupunkt Burning Desire 2500watt RMS MonoBlock Amplifiers

2 x Digital Designs 3515d's in custom ported boxes built to a sound engineers specifications.

There was another 1000watt RMS 4 channel for the interior fill speakers, a capacitor, pirahna dual battery system, boot and bay mounted AC delco dry cells.... too much to list.

Could drive through broadbeach with the stereo @ 30% volume and watch shop front windows shake and shit fall off shelves at the coffee shops.

Although the funniest night was when I rocked up at Autobarn in Bundall for a soundoff, got there an hour and a half late, so I couldn't enter, they had two sponsored cars, 1 was a Pioneer Car, 1 was some shit Sony Xplode car, both were duking it out in the final run of the night. As I parked i had the stereo cranked.

They had to re-run the sound off because the lexus gave higher readings than either of the cars and f**ked up the competition, and it was 8 meters away from the sound measuring thingies. OWNED.

Car used to be beautiful. Really Beautiful. Your lucky your so damn sexy Josh or I'd be in the shovel bashing party too :laugh:

Good luck with the sale man, its a f**king solid car, with a little bit of money and TLC, it could be returned to its former glory pretty easily.

Drift Limo: It's under coat

Jame's baby: I no deep down you feel the pig love! I always told you I was going to do something dead set dumb to it.

Adam: I'm pretty much bored of it, and I miss my 500hp+ R32, but at the time I needed a 4 door for work. So now I don't, I'm after another small, nimble turbo car to come out playing agian (only genuine 500 - 600rwhp+ cars need apply if you want to sell me something)

LXU55 owes so much money now, I'm not too interetsed in spending more on it, if it doesn't sell I'll do a few minor things to keep me happy for another 6 - 12months, I guess.

Depends how much you want for it, and what spare shit/stuff that hasn't been fitted comes with it

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
