Nissan Y34 Cedric - Introduction

[Iron Chef]

It's arrived!! Registration today, slammed and 19s tomorrow haha

[Midnight x]

so whats she like Kristian?

mine leaves brisbane today and will be in arriving at my house around the 8-12 May

[Iron Chef]

Floats around like an old bus lol - needs springs/shocks stat.

[Midnight x]

is that due to stuffed suspension or just the factory setup?

when do we get pics? i guess they will be after all japan day yeah?

[mitchy_]

picsorban kristian... make me regret not buying one!

i want this one sooooooo much.

[Iron Chef]

That really makes me wanna paint my rims black...

Here's one off the phone I took the other day (in the rain!)

Man these things swallow rims - probably still a touch high, but even still, no guard roll needed.

[mitchy_]

matt black spokes with gloss black dish, do it.

looks good though... i'll sell the 31 and you can find me a black one

[Midnight x]

so whats the verdict on the rim sizes?

the rears look like they stick out slightly from that picture and the fronts in slightly, looks pretty good though.

[Iron Chef]

This'll probably give you a better idea...

[funkymonkey]

quit fucking around and Wald kit that gangster up son.

[Iron Chef]

Hahaha I did see that kit and wonder at pricing, I must admit.

Wife is gradually warming to it, now that she's driven it a bit, but it's still getting sold - $18,500 for anyone interested. No leather trim is the sticking point for her now, although the reclining rear seats are very cool.

[Gregors]

Chef, looks AMAZING. You wouldn't even need a kit, just bag that shit and get it scraping gash. Wow, I think I might try and convince mother to sell her Commodore and buy one of these haha.

[Midnight x]

is anyone going to hold on to their Y34 for a while? everyone seems to be selling and i havent even got it yet.

how may km has yours done Kristian? do you have an ad up somewhere?

[Iron Chef]

87,000km on the white one. I'm otherwise very impressed with it, but assuming I get the all clear from the wife (she'll be driving it more than I do), we might get something....blacker...

[mitchy_]

black, leather, dumped and good offset rims is all you need.

[Midnight x]

87,000km on the white one. I'm otherwise very impressed with it, but assuming I get the all clear from the wife (she'll be driving it more than I do), we might get something....blacker...

are you sticking with the Y34's though?

any updates from Ben on anything? how is his black one going? he's probably going to sell that one too lol

[Iron Chef]

Yeah looking at another Y34, but black and leather.

[Midnight x]

so whats the going rate for black/blue series 2's with leather in stock condition?

[Iron Chef]

Probably more than I can afford lol - we shall see...

[sbyder]

any updates from Ben on anything? how is his black one going? he's probably going to sell that one too lol
