only 40k? That's how much they were 4 years ago!haha You can get a beat up R34 GTR for 28k easy but buyer beware! By the time I'm done I would have spent around 30-35k for my GTT, engine swap and all the mods (performance, exterior,interior). In the end, my GTT will look better than a stock GTR and will be faster than a stock GTR hands down... well worth it. If I wanted to buy a GTR I would have to sell my GTT (i would get 16k at best since GTTs are a dime a dozen in Japan and I can't sell it to koreans w/o them paying over 10k in taxes) so I would still need 24k just to have a STOCK R34 GTR.... then modding it from start would be expensive.... not worth it in my situation when I can be done with my project at 35k. GTR's are the sheit but sadly I'm in no situation to be able to afford it and satisfy my spending splurges.

unless your talkn about just the car theres no way u can get a decent gtr for 40k by the itme it lands here.

well around 40K I mean... good ones do come by, as long as you're patient, not picky and don't want an Nur or V Spec or anything fancy.

like this run of the mill one:

42k landed and complied.

chak8080, yeah sorry mate, didn't think about korea... it'd be a lot cheaper over there. I was talking in terms of the lads in oz.

i wouldnt exactly call something with over 90,000 a decent gtr.

i wouldnt bother with a gtr if it had over 40,000kms but thats just me.

although it defiently is an attractive offer.

sighs, sometimes i wonder if pouring so much into a GTT is even worth it all =[

lmao... a 9 year old 1999 car with 40,000kms on it? that's 4500km's a year.

Are you trying to tell me if you owned a GTR you'd drive only 4500 km's a year? Personally my car chalks up about 20,000 to 25,000 a year, and it hasn't missed a beat.

a 40,000km GTR will show up sometime somewhere... and it'll most definitely have its odo tampered unless its one of those exceptionally rare cars that have genuine low kms. Unfortunately its the guys that use the km reading as a yard stick on a cars quality that'll fall for it and snap it up.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
