You guys are so harsh - he's selling the car for medical reasons. But he can drive it to the right buyer. And he needs the money. And he's interested in swaps for a TT Supra.

The poor dodgy bastard just can't get a break

:)

bullshit. He's selling it cause it was stolen along with 2 other R34's at the same time and all have had their VIN's and engine's swapped. He knew it was dodgy, and yet still bought it when we all told him it was dodgy. Now the cops are going to take posession and he'll loose it all. If something is too cheap, then there is usually a reason.

Pretty sure half of cowie165's post was written in sarcastic tone sbyder :)

His thoughts were mine too as soon as I saw the first post in the OP's "for sale" ad. Have to sell the car this week but interested in swaps...I'm trying to think of a scenario in life that would set you up for this.

A. Your parents are going to kick you out of the house if you don't get a Supra

B. You catch 2JZ fever after getting beaten in a drag by a Supra

C. You have a medical condition but don't have the money to fund the operation - doctor will only accept a Toyota as collateral

D. You're a dodgy motherf**ker just like the c*** who sold it to you

Why the prick didn't just neck up, cop his f*** up on the chin and sell it off as a track car for 60% of the price is beyond me.

lmao :) especially at C. :)

sbyder: Yes dude, that was sarcasm. I listed the reasons for sale in that order because they all contradict the one before it. He's selling the car for medical reasons (ie. can't drive it anymore) but can deliver it to the right buyer... etc.

If he had a deceased family member too, he'd have enough reasons to claim car-sale "Yahtzee!" :yes::P

I used to know a bunch of Lebos who's doing that. They used to make their own importers approval to get their car imported, then buy a damaged car here in the same model, Cut the Vin No. off the firewall and mock it up onto the imported car and register it that way. They call them buying a "car's history". They do that to more expansive cars like Merc or BM rather then Nissans.

They were caught alone with a corrupted member of road register officer and sentenced jail after been doing it over 3 years for forging government documentations.

I hate to be the poor sucker who buys the car...lets hope he's done the research and found us (meaning the website) or have friends tell them about the car.

I still can't beleive that this fool was trying to buy a VIN Number....fool

From my experience...my mate recently brought a VY SS and wanted to trade in his old VS Commodore...dealer wouldn't take his old car because it was repairable write off. He never knew this (car was brought from a car yard about 6 years ago)...I know this happened alot back in the day but I'm not so sure now (mainly because there is alot of red tape to get a repairable write off back on the road)

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
