If you're changing the cam gears, I'm sure you'd change the timing belt why you're at it...

100% Agree.

Phatboy, if the car is tidy and you're happy with it once you have had it inspected, buy it. Going by the engine bay, it looks rather tidy. If that is a representation on the condition of the car, then I'm sure you have very little to worry about.

If you are happy with the car once you have had an inspection, buy it. Don't let teh Interweb Nazis dictate your decision.

Hahaha couldn't agree more. Steering wheel, gear knob and seat wear and THE biggest tell tale signs of a cars age but, imagine this as crazy as it may sound, a Japanese man, perhaps like someone you know.....enjoys his car and drives it often....pwoah! :D Just imagine!

I'm no expert but I don't believe driving a car "hard" would cause wheel bearing issues. Could be wrong though.

Got any more info on the car? Pics, links etc?

Ok,what you read in the magazine is correct....Ive had the R34 gtr apart to a bare shell,ive had the bonnet's open on most of the computers that are in the car,reprogrammed the anti theft box's on about 5 car's due to lost keys and could tell you what every wire in the car does and what colour it is.....the mags must be right

Yes if you change your cluster the km reading will display what is stored in the cluster, so a new cluster will show 0 km.

I agree with that.

The magazine also stated that a km reading can be extracted from the ecu.

But if you have re-programmed an R34 ecu, and know what every single bit does in it's programming, i'm happy to accept that you know more than everyone else :).

Ok point made.

I will try to get the factory ECU. Only thing is, how do you know when he changed to an aftermarket ECU if the owner bought it like that?

The factory ECU could have been changed 5 years ago, and you wouldn't know how many genuine km's he's done after that.

But I will keep it in mind, thanks.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
