Hi guys,

So I am finally going down the path of my dream and purchasing a 2001 R34 GTR V-SPEC II from an importer. It has 40,000 km's on the clock, practically stock as aside from an aftermarket cat-back exhaust, whilst the rest of it is like it has been off the factory floor. I am in the process of securing finance, and hope to pick it up next week.

What I was hoping to find out from any of those that have been down this path, specifically the R34 GTR's - what are the typical "gotyer"s to look out for when buying one? Has anyone had any experience of things that haven't been as they seem, or experienced anything that they could have avoided with a bit more foresight?

I have read a couple of articles on this site, and there's some fantastic stuff about general skylines and what to look out for... I was hoping to be a bit more specific and tailor a thread to my future car.

So with that in mind, does anyone have any advice on what to look out for, or perhaps a link to another post which may detail exactly what I am asking?

Thank you!

Soon.2.Be.Pwner.

Further to this, I received advice that the R34 GTR V-Spec included on the central display unit the following features that the standard GTR did not;

Lateral G-Force metre

Lap timer

Can anyone confirm whether this is the case, and if so can they provide some instruction on how to access it?

Thanks..

im pretty sure that all GTRs had the G senor, not so sure about the lap sensor.

one thing to mention with all skylines, especially the GTRs is to make sure u keep your Xenon HID bulbs in the car, although compliance requires these to be removed, make absolute sure ur compliance company puts them back in. the mistake i made we i purchased mine was i didnt no anything about skylines. and so im left with shockn aftermarket HIDs which willl never be as good as the factory Xenons.

thats my advice

the file i have attach explain how to use the MFD (muiltfuction display) in the R34 GTR. From my understanding the V-spec model had the upgrade function on displaying Int Temp. and exh temp

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
