Not sure where i am going for compliance - i was going to ask for recommendations on who did some of yours. If you know of anyone who will do a good job that would be excellent if you could let me know.

Ryan i ended up getting the car for just under 1.5mil.

Its big and black and fast and oh how well will it HANDLE omg.... coilovers and brembos... i wonder what width tyre i can run under it.

FIRST MODS - clear front and side indicators! orange on black looks so bad... Then a decent, flowing cat-back exhaust.

you have NO IDEA how excitied i am... Actually, you probably do!

I would be booking in a workshop ASAP before it gets on the boat. I used IAMSHE on the Gold Coast for my Stagea......They were ok but had a couple of small dramas with some of their work that they'd done on the car. Nevertheless car was quick through the shop and on the road as promised.

:laugh:

Pretty sure you could get the 260RS in black S1, but not RSfour etc. Ive seen a fair few black S1 260RS's while we were searching for this one, but none in as good a condition.

If so own one of a few original black, 5spd manual S1's haha...

Might give IAMSHE a call. Anyone got contact details....??

I might get S2 taillights, but will probably just tint the indicators on the factory ones - to suit the dark paint.

Got 50 photos of the car sent to me - will post up after work.

PICS UP in first post!

Looks awesome! Engine bay looks pretty clean, can't see any paint missing off plenum chamber... maybe a few specks... might be genuine k's

Soooo, I get first guess at the 'mystery box'... Damper adjustment?

or maybe a toll counter for the toll roads? My RS Four's got one (says "Toyota" on there lol)

Is genuine k's. The interior of the car has no wear and tear at all (ie steering wheel, seats, gear shifter and handbrake, carpet, all like new) Plus has full service records etc.

Might be a damper adjustment for the coilovers... not sure.

congrats on the new purchase matey.

the "mystery box" is a PIVOT SPEED METER, you can just make it out if you look hard enough in the right hand lower corner of its screen.

essentially it is a fuel cut defender with a few other nifty functions such as, highest achieved speed for that drive session as well as 100,200,300 and 400 metre times if you want to set it up for runs down the strip, it also does an average speed as well as real time accurate speed display on the screen, which according to the dyno is closer to actual road speed than the OEM speedo, and couple of other things too.

i have one in my S2 and its a nifty little gadget that scared the bejeebus out of my old man when he took it for a spin on our private test strip, he was concentrating on the factory speedo and when it ran out i told him to look down at the other one mounted on top of the column.

he immediately buttoned off as he thought we were doin 180 but were doing 245 on the little box with 1500rpm to go till hit the red.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
