congrats, looks to be an awesome example of an R34 GTR...

What area do you live in? looks beautiful, PM if you rather not post...

-Ryan

Cairns, North QLD. Im on the edge of the city/industrial area.

I'm glad you arrived home safely mate. The car definitely got the buyer it deserved which says a lot about yourself and the car. as for what it sold for guys it doesn't really matter. he was happy, i was happy (ish!) so that's all that counts. :P and you were a pleasure to deal with too mate and very patient with all the running around etc.

great pics and little journal of the drive too. I'm pleased she treated you so well on the way home too. luck there is 100 J-pop albums in the "m catcher" as you must have needed nearly all of them on a drive that big.

I can't wait to see pics with the new headlights. :P

congrats man. if thats your house ud be a very lucky man waking up to that view over the city then opening the shed up and having an r34 gtr staring at you.

I wish it was my house!

Its the highest house in Cairns, on top of the tallest hill closest to the coast. Probably 10Mil worth easy. Funny thing is that nobody lives there. They just pay to have the place maintained like a millionare would. So its always made a great photograph place.

Nice buy Ian!

Dammit I wish I had of known you were cruising through Rocky in it, I would have been parked on the highway waiting for a glimpse!

Very lovely car, its amazing how perfect they look stocko.

Treat it well like I am sure you will. I am no longer on QSS, i got banned for nothing so its good to still be kept up to date on your cars.

Cheers, Grant

Congrats mate.

Perfect example of how a 34GTR should be.

Im sure you will giggle like a school kid everytime you get in it.

I dont giggle but it definatly puts a smile on my face. :P

Im not sure what time it was when I passed through Rocky but I think i had lunch there at a war mermorial on the north side around 12:30 or something. I left Gympie saturday morning around 8am I think.

Yeah the slighly lowered stance and wheel spacer to fill the guards make all the diference. Im fitting the new lights this weekend. Had a look last night and it turns out the entire front end needs to come off the car to access a mounting bolt on the headlight assembly that is located at the outer side of the light (between the guard and the parker light). I think thats going to take quite a bit of time to do properly and carefully.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
