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.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
