cheers guys an gals :bunny::bunny:

Hey mate, plenty to know and learn about them as they are da bomb! search a bit on the forums and you will find heaps.

PM me if you got any questions

importing right now is not a good idea as the yen to au dollar is pretty crappy so you will be paying quite a bit more atm, buy one here; plenty for sale!

im considering selling mine: its a vspec 2 in black if your interested.

And, did it seem like a smartazz joke to you?

na, sori man my bad....jst irritable mood today

i see u have one too, u have an everyday car??

all good dude..

unfortunately, no..... i had a TT supra.....sold that and got a Yaris as a current weekend car lol

but i work as a plumber...mon - fri...even saturdays i get to drive nothing, but the Toyota Hilux.....

but yeah i got the money to buy an R34 GT-R also and keeping my eyes open for the right one...

i go on the sales websites every day to update...

most of the V-specs are a bit too old...

i was just going to purchase one via Importer..JUST before the aussie dollar plummeted....

when AUS$ was 95 US cents... it was looking real good.... you could have one 38,000$ AUD landed (if...auctions went well that is)

but as you asked...it wont be an every day car...im only going to get to drive it on the weekends....

which keeps it interesting anyways........ i wouldnt want to drive a good car every day....

cheers guys, another thing im starting to here is that if they have the 320km gauges in white installed its not genuine kms? how can you tell if they are genuine kms with these gauges? did they come out in japan with the 320km gauges in some models or are they only an aftermarket thing.

help help help, i dont want to be stooged on my purchase ;)

another thing is the rear difuser different on a 99 vspec compared to a 2001 vspec II?

still looking for an r34 guru i can talk to

sms me if you have patience and knowledge oh wise men :)

beleive, me...we are not any "wiser men" than you are.........

correct me if im wrong too guys......but im pretty sure the 320KM/h speedo is a Nismo aftermarket option.

yes, it can throw off the original cars KM/h with aftermarket tacho...unless it was installed as a factory option in the first place...but whos to know?

but some external signs of wear can sort of pinpoint its usage....seats are an obvious indication...but then again...it can be replaced fairly easily with another used one that is newer..or just things that arent usually easily replaced... I.e the carpets near the feet...

and a compression test on the pistons can too...

and if you notice....alot of the cars have Low KM...which can be 2 things.....it genuinely does have low KM...or the speedos tampered with.

and for a 1999 model car.....sometimes with 20,000km ..and i mean sometimes...can be too good to be true.

and im pretty sure the carbonfibre rear diffusers are the same on the series 2 & v-spec 2 models

trust me.....if you do a search.....there are alot on the car you can learn

thank you,

is it true that when the nismo gauges are installed they start from zero? so clearly if they were installed 3 years after purchase there could be any amount?

i get what your saying with the inspection of condition and i will be spending the money to inspect every aspect of it, idont want to buy the cheapest one to find i got what i paid for type excuse from my beloved rotary friends, i want them to be saying... why didnt i think of that also before spending another 50-70k on an old car... :)

im not a big fan of aftermarket guages.....and i dont like the Nismo tacho colour aswell.. but i assume they will start from 0 if they are brand new?

unless its a used 2nd hand one bunged into the one to be sold then obviously they will put one with lower mileage.

the gtr, vspec and vspec II come with 180 Kmh speedos. The Nur, ztune etc come with 320 Km/h.

I still think to get a good genuine GTR and Vspec here, your looking at over 50k, vspec II over 65k

Before I bought mine, I looked at several, and those cars you see floating around the 50k mark weren't that good in my eyes. Do a search here and you can see what some people experienced.

Vspec 2 has a few little things which make em unique: the clean indicators, alluminium pedals, intake and exhaust temp on the MFD, removal of drivers side handle, black radiator, black interior, brushed gear trim and a little sticker on the back that says vspec 2 lolz.

umm yeah the ones that are cheap are cheap for a reason; i imported mine for 4.3 million yen at the time + duties and compliance bumped it up to 67ish k but i got a near perfect example.

Love the car to death, its soooooo tough and attention grabbing...oh and with my basic mods its a torquey gt car.

i have the 320km/h dash... would prefer the stocker but i do have service books so im sure it was added at factory; has 26,000kms on it now....can always tell if its genuine by the condition of mats and the drivers seat wear.

I'm gonna give myself a free plug - I'm heading to Japan next week on a buying trip. but the exchange rate is breaking my balls at the moment.

The other free plug is for SLED's car - PM him, because his V-Spec is definitely worth a look.

All Nur edition cars did not come with 320klm nismo clusters they came with special nissan clusters that went up to 300klm Z tunes came with the nismo 320klm speedo standard all other standard nissan models came with 180klm speedos also another thing to note on v-spec ,v-spec II and m-spec models on the tacho the 1 to 3 rpm range will be compressed where as on the standard non v-spec model they are not. All the nismo parts were options from factory so nismo speedo's could be installed from the dealership so they can have genuine kays but you would really need service history and what not to go off the klm's

oh and yes their is a difference in the rear diffusers but very hard to tell, if you have a sales brochure (book) on the v-spec and v-spec II you can see it on the v-spec II the carbon weave is larger more apparant the fins are slightly different not the shape but where the bolts fit them to the diffuser it is recessed in were as the v-spec one is not, the metal plate at the front of the diffuser is slighly different and also the two pieces that sit on either side where they attach is slighly changed . I know Le Mans did make up the diffusers for nissan so i think they just changed a few things unless they contracted another company to supply them, but very hard to tell the difference unless you had them side by side

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
