Hi guys

We are currently looking at purchasing an 1998 R34 for my son's first car from this mob. The guy's name is Hakan, not Dennis as stated in the previous posts on this thread. The car looks extrmely clean and has apparently done only 72,000kms (??), imported directly from Japan. We took the car for a test drive on Saturday and from what we would tell it ran quite nicely. Will be getting a full mechanical check done. He wouldn't budge on price though...should I be asking for anything else??

Has the dealer changed ownership?? We dealt with Hakan not Dennis. Any advice would be great

Hey Trish

Also was interested in that R34 for my younger brother, we went there today only to find out it was sold!

The car looks really clean, should be a good buy.

FYI the guy there is Hakan, Dennis is his son. People got confused as the business cards he gave out had Dennis on them & not his name.

Cheers

I withdraw my previous positive comments. I got defected for an exhaust that was already on the car when I bought it, so I asked them to fix it and write me another road worthy because they wrote a road worthy as it was. They wouldn't help me out.

for exhaust noise? if so that's an epa issue not a defect. in which case has nothing to do with the roadworthy they supplied with the car.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
