they are a dealer offering a full warranty and support

you cant compare their prices to brokers like jspec and prestige , you could get absolutly anything with them and all risk is on you

some people are quite prepared to pay a bit extra for convinience and service . remember this a business supporting people and their families here

You should visit NorthShorePrestige they have a couple of R34 coupes for around $23k.

Yes true, but there are dealers who are cheaper and have better cars with warranty and support for alot cheaper. Everyone is starting to drop their prices now on 34's and they need to look at least at starting to be competitive or people will just think they are a joke. I doubt the service part, seen lots of bad posts about service and when i went in there to buy my 34 they were hopeless. Weren't interested in what i wanted to buy only what they wanted to sell. And even then when I did look at the car it was not in the good of condition as the price tag would of recommended, with competitors like Japlink down the road even though their reputation may not be the best either at least they are competing on price.

Either way, each to their own and congratulations on your skyline purchase clippy.

the only 23k r34 they have is a auto sedan

these are cheap everywhere , if lees are charging more than about 24-25 then yes they are over priced

your going to need much more for a nice manual coupe tho so keep saving if you want something nice

this is going by their website

I was down there last week @ NSP and they have a '98 coupe in silver GTT for $23k i think it is an auto though, they did have some manuals and i think those were starting at $24-$25k but like anywhere if they want to sell a car they will negiotate.

But like mentioned above if you want something really nice, you are better off saving up as prices are still on their way down.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
