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

I could be wrong but i believe Jeff is his son, they run the shop together as a family business, they also do all the compliancing themselves rather than outsourcing it so everything stays in house - his prices reflect that.

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I've just bit the bullet on a forged rebuild for my 25det looking at making 600rwhp with the built engine. Having always been a butthurt for big brakes, I'd like to upgrade the fronts. I have looked at a few different websites, not have really stood out to me. What are some good quality front brakes, are the Attkd ones any good?    Thanks.

      Went out for drive with Jackie for a while in the Mazda and whilst it was raining cats and dogs, the interior and boot are still nice and dry so the top and drains are working well to keep the elements out, winning

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
