Just Bought Myself An R34 Gtr V-spec

[Specrzx]

Had R34 GT N/A for 2 years and thought i'd had enuff of driving other people's turbo car and wanted to achieve wat was not meant to be achieved... (by me anyways) So I went on a Journey from Perth to Sydney on a pursuit for my dream car... Now i know why it was my dream car in the first place... Anyways guys Just here to share the passion of the this beautifully engineered car: sexy, fat and a beast of an engine (specially launch) =]~~~ But also to get peoples with 34 gtr's if they can tell what experience they've had with theirs and what i should look out for. Thanks!

very nice and clean

and missing the boot lock too

Congrats! I went and checked out the exact car 2 weeks ago. Although it was very clean, I'm not a big fan of white cars so I held off from the purchase.

My blue V-Spec is now coming from Japan instead

Good luck with your new toy!

pure porn just need black bits now to give it that JDM feel...

I know it was pretty dodgy... But I managed to fix it and got a good price anyways... How'd you know about it? Did you check this one out?

[bubba]

You can see where the lock should be in the first photo

Tru lol.... Anyways any important thing i need to know about this beast guys?? like what might die out first what i should change to prolong its life??

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^We can see it missing in the picture you posted of the rear.

Looks nice. I really want a White R34 GTR. Looks the best IMO.

Well what do you intend to do? Have it as a daily or track beast?

What year is it?

The car should be pretty new and been in a nice condition. So nothing should need to be changed as yet.

But the things I would change at the moment are

Engine oil

Oil filter

Fuel Filter

Battery

Brake Pads (Check the disks, they might need to be machined if not relpaced depending on how the previous owner drove it)

Tyres (Check threads)

Check fluids = Brake, clutch, radiator and powersteering.

Spark plugs

Timing Belt and all fan belts at 100 000 km's

They would be the main concern as it is quite a new car.

Since you got a V-Spec you will have firmer suspension then the non V-Spec's, a lower ground clearance, you will be equipped with the ATTESA E-TS Pro System and an Active LSD in the rear. You will also have 2 air diffusers, one at the front under the engine and one at the rear to keep air flow running under the car smoothly.

I see you have an exhaust system already to allow better flow and upgrade the pannel filter if not get 2 pods.

Is your exahaust a full or catback system?

Keep you stock intercooler and BOV unless your running very high boost.

Get a Nismo bodykit.

Hi and Congrats,

I agree with Post #10 above so don't let anyone put you off white colour - they can remain very very pretty and there's another thread around somewhere where there's a guy getting married in November and there's already one white one on offer; so yours would make No. 2.

When I got mine ( and this goes for other GTRs too), I went ahead and...

i) had my radiator flushed, so no more acidic Japanese water remained in the block

ii) had the car up on a hoist to check for superficial rust along the rails underneath

iii) checked carefully for bubbling around the rear (boot) stop light

iv) buffed the paint back in case acid rain was eating into the paintwork

v) had an experienced wheel aligner (w.r.t. 4 wheel steer) and camber to check alignment and tyre wear

vi) made sure that every service is put into your Japanese log book since it helps with re-sale value later

Since you've got a white one, check if the engine is on the rich side. If it is, then use paint protection on the rear bar to prevent staining

Forum guys might agree or disagree on engine oil brands, but you can't go wrong with Motul or Elf for the R34

If your car is a 2000, you can source a NACA Duct from a Qld company that's an exact copy to get it looking like a V Spec-II if you want. It costs $45. Cheaper than CF

Don't forget the post above mine either!

Cheers,

Terry

I believe it's a 99 model if i recall.

[SHANE666]

wow dude,

thats is a SWEEET ride.

i want to be like YOU!

haha. congrats man, hope you enjoy it as much as you're expecting to!

[Specrzx]

Thanks for the input (00)SKYLINE(00) and Terry_GT-R34, yeh would sound like a good idea to get everything replaced and prepped just like a new car for starters hey. Yeh its a '99 model, and I love the white so this car was actually perfect when i was chasing one... As my last car was white too . It's goin to mainly be a street car, but will see the light of track once in a while... Want this car "mines" style. Acceleration is just psycho on that car... Btw people with gtr's how much stock quater mile ?

[1C3B3RG]

Congratulations! You bastard, i love those cars! I wish you all the best mate. Keep us updated with pics.

[thorpe84]

R32 GTR's (and R33's I think?) ran 13.7 secs down the 1/4 mile

R34 GTR's should do the same if not abit better. They got abit more torque and a overall refinement.

Thanks man =]... And thanks for the congrats guys... I've been waiting so long for this... and boy can i say its worth the god damn wait... Fork out everything you've got for one if you have to... I kinda did lol... One thing you guys need to do is experience a RB26 boosting up to the 8500 rev limit... You'll love it. Can't wait for the next cruise =]. Oh, any of you guys know how to work the japanese tv screen??

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^Your going to have to convert it to AUS spec.

You might have to ask the ppl you got Skylines which came with tv's or take it to a import dealer / place and they can convert it for you.

[CHO50N]

Looks like an Import from Eddy, Did this car come form importer?

Did it come with any documents etc etc?

Have it well checked and make sure kms are correct. We use to do compliance for this guy.
