its good to see that your firm with your price!

i'd hold onto it if i were in your position :(

hey marko

Mate after all the hard work put in to this car i couldn't let it go for a cheap price .As far as i am concerned people that spend big bucks on 32's, 33's and 34's or any car in general and sell them off for peanuts are either desperate or just like prostituting the market .So that's why i am sticking to my guns mate some one will buy it for the price i am asking and respect that when they see and drive the car .. if not it stays with me.

good luck with yours

Anthony

I'm on my 3rd import, and I've learnt a valuable lesson from the first two. Modifications add very little to the value of your car. I spent the purchase price in mods again on my first two, not a cent on my 3rd.

I have lost more money than I care to remember on my first 2 imports. When I played with Yank muscle and Oz muscle I made money on every car I ever owned, this is foreign to me.

Anybody undertaking modifying an Import needs to be prepared to take it up the ass at sale time. I wish it wasnt so, because I would be driving an R35 right now if I got back what I spent, easily. My first 2 imports easily soaked up over $150,000 from 2001 till 2008, all I have to show for it is an R34 GTR and some spare parts.

I would love to be able to get back the price I spent, then I wouldnt have to keep my R34 stock.

Were not prostitutes because we sell our cars beneath the price we have spent on it, we are realists. A car is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay. Hopefully somebody will pay what you want....................eventually.

Good luck buddy, as I've said before, your car is a gem, just keep it.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
