Hey All,

Im currently looking at buying an R34 GTR V Spec with about 40,000kmon the clock (in canberra if anyone knows it) however the speedo has been changed to a 320km/h one, anyway to find out for certain how many km;s are on the car??

Also as ill be new to the GTR range can anyone give me any specific to look for besides the obvious.

Maybe even someoen who has a GTR of their own could take the time out to come inspect a couple with me in the next couple of weeks??

Thanks in advance, Semo

first of all the word 'investing' probably isn't the right word to use when buying a car :devil:

As for the km's, ignore them, they don't mean anything, 99% of imports are wound back and made up log books etc.

Look at the condition of the car. Look for common wear marks. If it really has 40,000ks then the car will look brand new, there probably wouldn't be a mark on the interior and it should still have that new car smell :worship:

Look for wear on the steering wheel, the gearstick boot, the gear knob, the seats, the indicator stalk, the pedals, etc...

Get it checked out by someone familiar with GTR's.

Hey all

had a look at the car today looked EXTEREMELY neat, Interior was in perfect condition, exterior was in near perfect condition. the only fault was the inside of the left hand headlight had some discoloration. Any ideas on how something like that would be repaired id be hard pressed to replace a Xenon light.

ran really smooth and handled amazingly.

Still intend on getting checked from top to bottom, any recommendations for a GTR mech??

Yeah i always use the KM;s as a last point of call but its always good to have one with less.

And nope its white, dont intend on spending 95,000 for a V Spec these days, they are far lower than that, Thanks for the input so far.

edit: Ill say investment because it makes me feel a little better >_<

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
