Hey

Im in the market for an R34 skyline...just left my job and company car...{380 VRX s3}

Iv been looking around on the web and some car yards

Anyway to cut a long story short found this R34 the other day:

Would anyone be able to give me some advise as to what to check or question about the R34 in general when buying?

Thax

Whats your reason for selling?

bit over it. wanting to go 4wd. since i busted up with the mrs been getting back into my hobbies again more heavily, shooting, fishing and the like and a skyline isnt really appropropriate.

^^^ +1

nice car and definitely worth about 70k...not 78

with the yen taking a dive; the sellers taking advantage of it...think about it; that gtr is probably 4.3-4.6million yen + 20% taxes to land it here + shipping and profit

I dont think that's a Vspec II, looks like it just has the bonnet.

That car was built by Top Secret for some famous Japanese baseball player, its got his name on the customised leather front seats.

I bought my 34 of SSV a few years ago, they are great to deal with and have very clean cars.

Right so hear is were im at...

Basically the GT-R was in good condition (Sounded unbelievable!) however not as good as oh-low s by the looks of his photos.

Had a look at the car up close the other day, as PAV34 said it was owned by a famous Japanese baseball player

who took it to top secret and spent about $30,000 on it.

Going to catch up with oh-low at some point to check out his 34.

btw:

Are there any local meets in which are going to happen in the next week in either Sydney or Melbourne?

Travel between the two states frequently for work.

Thax again

Mike

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
