Well I've sold my R33 but dont get paid for it till the end of Jan. If your car is up for grabs still then its at the top of my list.

no worries mate. hopefully for you i've still got it, but hopefully for me I don't!

For those that truly dont understand how much it costs o bring in a 34 now, check this out, $73,000 from J Spec

http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=13806

The reason the 34's arent selling for the stupidly low prices we have set is because no one has money, it has nothing to do with the price.

There is a 1970 SS Chevelle for sale in QLD for $48,000, that is stupid cheap, its been up for 4 months. No money.

Beer Baron, please dont GIVE your car away.

I know mate. :P it sucks. If I were to bring this car in now it would cost me over $70K. I am getting close to giving it away. luckily there is no finance or anything like that on it so i'm not up against the wall to dump it and cut my legs off at the knee. but at the same time I need it gone and I need the money.

anyway, life rolls on. things could be worse than being stuck with an R34. it's still a great car to drive in the meantime. :O

Brett's R34 Just sold and he was asking for much more than BB's....

Maybe you should advertise it for $70K :P

This one's been on here since early august and still hasn't sold, wouldn't think increasing the price upwards would increase the chances of selling ..... but I could be wrong ....

lol, yes perhaps if nothing happens in the next 2 weeks i'll scrap this letting it go cheap plan and start afresh at $65K. you are right, often a cheap price sends the wrong message and attracts the wrong kind of buyer. higher price attracts the type of buyer who are actually looking for a neat, genuine, quality car so there is some merit in the idea.

that car on j-spec is similar type to mine, non vpsec, very neat, though mine has a few nicer bits and yet it's $25K more than mine! plus mine is already here, and complied, and rego'd etc. just goes to show what a 40% decrease in the value of the AUD does for importing cars.

Agree with you on that one Beer Baron, cars like ours are selling for easily more than 20k+ of what we're asking, let alone the fact of other costs to get them here. Good luck with your car mate.

hey Icy, I treat everyone the same. no one would get banned just for chatting or have their thread deleted. I ALWAYS give a friendly warning first without increasing the users warning level. as for my thread, well most of the posts have been a bit personal but many do relate to the car and current circumstances. I do take your point though, some have stepped over the line. so sorry about that. :blush:

from now on we will do our best to remain on topic. and of course i'm not going to ban you for being smart and trying to pin me on rules. :blink: lol. i'm not nuts. but in future if you have a problem with a post rather than contributing to it, just hit report post and explain the problem to a moderator. :)

anway, back on topic. I took a few more photos the other day which I'll upload tonight, and yes the beast is still for sale. :)

yes masterfoods grinder is included free of charge! (this is not chat, serious answer). note the serious face. :D

but if you sell the porsche what would I ride around in if I'm over your way? I don't want to head all the way over to UAE only to drive my old car!!

anyway, having said all that it looks like I finally have 2 serious guys asking me all the right questions so hopefully something will happen in the next day or so.

sold. :)

not having a 34 GTR in the garage does make me feel like less of a man. i'm still a man right?...... right? ugh.gif

anyway, bye bye my sweet, sweet 34. you were the most underated car in my current stable and by far had the most presence on the road. you always surprised me with how quick you were for a standard car. I'd hop into the 34 after fanging the RX7 (which is quite fast) or the silvia (also damn fast) and I was never disappointed by it's pace which is prety cool for a dead standard car!

anyhoo.... bye bye now. sadwavey.gif

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
