That's tough, i gotta ask, can you negotiate on price for cars like these? Not that i could ever buy one or would negotiate over one but do people haggle over car royalty?

Youd be suprised, some people try and haggle - my attitude towards the people that did that (from my import car seling days) was to show them the way to parramatta rd where they can haggle and get a lemon.

Seriously, i gave them a map with the directions!

I can understand a bit of negotiation, like rego or new tyres, but some of the offers were crazy low from people who never came through anyway. Still with that said, asking for new tyres on a car like that says a lot about a person ;)

Been in, would rather have the 400R as its the real deal

the thing that put me off immediately on the mines car is

"Odometer 14800"

yeah, right. For a 1999 r34, 9 years old.

....since the ground up rebuild :wub:

like wise with this company (whilst having an excellent rapport with the global JDM industy) claiming "Bayside Blue" and "Nismo Suspention kit" aye.... :blink:

Yeah, they fkd up ;)

lol the 400R popped up last week - I was gonna list it on my site for fun, but I've had problems uploading pics. Seriously, I think websites are the reason I have no hair.

That would be a lot more than $90K to bring it here, by the way :blink:

Anyone seen any 34 gtr Z Tunes for sale ? i wonder what there going for now a days ?

That's one of those "If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it" situations...

Brings up an interesting point about what my N1 is worth though. One of 18 ever built, just ticked over 24,000kms (with books), with complete Nismo R1 engine and a heap of other Nismo gear.

moneypit, they do exist :P

I actually think that's a very good price on that 400R, Zele would be selling my car for more than that if they had it in their showroom.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
