Hey bud

Like buying any used car, be sure to check it out thoroughly before you buy - take your mech with you or get Stateroads to give it a good go over

That said i bought my R34 from Shane at PowerRoads, short story, because i'm from Sydney, He had the car driven up for me free of charge, while on the way up, one of the tyres blew due to a leaking valve on the rim - which took out the inner guard. He then sent another one up to me and paid us to get it replaced - he also offered to replace the rim but we were able to get it fixed free of charge so there was no need.

He's a good bloke, show him your serious to buy and he'll be serious to sell, he takes trips fairly regularly to Japan to choose several of his cars himself from both dealers and auctions. Haven't had any problems with mine so far - when i got it inspected my Stateroads, the bloke told me he was very impressed with the condition of the car saying it was one of the best he'd inspected in a long time. He said there are alot of lemons out there so to find one in the condition mine was in was surprising.

He's got a few nice cars at the moment so all the best and happy hunting =)

Just bought my r34 from him 2 weeks ago. I told him I was interested, so I got him to send the car for a pre-purchase check. Nothing wrong overall, just minor wear and tears. The whole transaction was nice and smooth lol. Shane's a nice bloke. Pretty much sums it up... Ps ask jeff from power rd to take you for a ride in his red r34 lol crazy driver

      Not sure what you mean by electronic speedo drive.  Speedo reads fine up to 180 yes.

      For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.

      This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   😂 😂

      This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
