Hi All,

I feel sad doing this, but since I've moved way out into the bush, my beloved R34 rarely sees any use.

There is only one sealed road out of town, and too many critters to dodge!

Here's the basic info:

R34 GTT, manual, black, done approx. 60K KM (need to check new odo).

Vehicle was imported either very late last year or very early this year.

I purchased it in January this year - was stock standard except for the Nismo coilover suspension.

Since then I have done the following:

- New* Power FC (*purchased 2nd hand but was never used)

- New Greddy Profec B Spec II

- New FMIC

The above was fitted and tuned by Croydon Racing Developments in Sydney (210KW ATW)

- New Xforce turbo back system (3 or 3.5") - 2 weeks later I had a different resonator and Varex muffler fitted.

(still have the xforce pipes/resonator/cannon muffler/hanger etc. which should bolt straight on. I'm thinking of keeping the Varex for my next vehicle)

- New 18" wheels and tyres (forgive my poor memory - been an eventful year - but have all receipts).

- Panel air filter

- New Alpine stereo system & speakers

- New Rhino alarm system

- New Nismo 300KM/H cluster

- Had the door glass tinted

- New Splitfire coil pack fitted

- New battery

- New Targa Tasmania custom plates

As mentioned, I have all receipts for the above.

And I'm sure I've forgotten other things done...

So far I have only fed the engine 98 octane fuel and Motul 300V oil.

I have treated this car with the utmost care and kept it under 6000RPM. Apart from a few high speed runs, I haven't come close to thrashing the car. I did intend taking it to Oran Park and elsewhere, but ran out of time before moving to Tassie. And now I just plain don't have the time to take it to any track (plus I'm a good hour away from the nearest track).

Paint is in good shape, and comes up beautifully after a wash and application of good polish.

Basically I'm just in the wrong place for a car like this - I want to replace the R34 with a Forester, which is a better choice for here.

Bad points -

Only one that I can think of, being a small car park type dent in the door, approx. 5mm in diameter. Paint still intact within dent.

Not bad enough to bother repairing in my opinion and I rarely remember that its there. Oh, and no rear wiper arm (if that's a problem).

I'm looking for around $25,500 neg for the vehicle as-is.

I haven't added up what I've spent (I don't wanna know!) but basically everything bar the suspension was bought and fitted this year, so all mods are in excellent condition, with warranty and I didn't compromise on parts choice or who worked on my R34. I didn't go over the top regarding performance mods - just took it to 210KW at the wheels. Taking it further will involve a bigger fuel pump and turbo, just to give you an idea.

Drives the same as the stock vehicle - until you keep pushing the pedal that is :)

*Note: car park ding is just below door handle - not really obvious from most angles

I am located near Fingal (NE Tas) and probably best way to contact me is via PM or email at the moment.

Probably forgotten some important details, but I've wanted to get this post listed for a few weeks - so here it is :)

Of course, if by chance you have a Forester to trade, please contact me.

Also chasing a decent quad bike, could part trade with cash adjustment.

Needless to say, no time wasters please... don't enquire unless you are seriously interested.

Negotiable, but not by too much - I think its good value given the choice of mods, the age and documentation provided.

I could always return the vehicle to mostly stock... then sell off the after market parts... but would prefer not to.

If I can't turn this into a Forester (suitably modifed of course!) then I may as well keep it.

Thanks for looking :)

Cheers

Thanks very much for the heads up - sorry for the slow reply, but I never got an email letting me know that somebody replied to my post.

Still haven't pulled my finger out and made a serious attempt to sell my 34 :domokun:

It's been sitting in the garage, no doubt feeling lonely. I reckon I'd have been lucky to have clocked up 300KM this year.

All the details are much the same (since bought a quad bike though), price reduced to $23200, rego and insurance has been maintained.

Still chasing a Forester - but need to sell this first. I don't need a fourth vehicle to keep registered!

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
