I reckon this one is pretty darn original.

Interesting. In your opinion, is it worth that kind of dough? I've recently seen a Aust delivered example in mint original condition for $65k (ish) with around 100k klms on it.

Well it ultimately depends on what you want I guess. Is it a true collectable? I would probably say no. A V Spec, V Spec II or N1 would be a real collectable.

I guess like any car that dominated a large race event will make a mark in the history of motorsport, will always be considered as a special car and will end up being a collectors item.

V-Spec / V-Spec II, you could say are collectibles as only a limited production line of them where made and that was the whole reason calling it a V-Spec = Victory Specification, to celebrate the success of the GTR in both Group N and Group A racing.

But I would give it a few more years before seeing it as more of a collectors item.

But I see the N1 being more of a collectors item as only a very limited production was made of 228 units (Approx) due to it being so rare.

Ive got a stock, save for radio and floor mats, r32 gt-r vspec, standard right down to the stock exhaust, airbox, wheels, and ride height.

Bloody hard cars to find unmolestered.

Dude i agree i started looking for mine about a year ago and found one with genuine kms , there rare but still around , its great your still rolling around with a stock exhaust , its harder to stay stock than modify . :)

Also trying to illustrate that there is a rich history of Nissans being raced here in Australia and that they are worth a bit of coin because less than 100 were sold to the public. (R32 GTR)

Just like the fords and Holden during the earlier years, they too fetch a fair bit of coin, because they were legends in Australian Group A motorsport and only so many were produced and sold to the public

That’s my thoughts anyway.

Just a thought if you want to run in the historic class of Targa Tasmania, say 10 years from now, will the Jap imports qualify?

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
