My dad went to a scrap metal yard today ........ what was left of this blue R34 GTR was a small little cube of metal :D Customs had seized the R34 GTR (what reason dad n i dont know) and a few other imports and sent them to be crushed ... the guy that owned the yard reckons he almost cried as he was doing it. Broke my heart .... how can you crush an R34 GTR??? :hellpisd:

R.I.P :angel:

Im sorry but my car is more than a car to me .... its more like a pet .... and i would cry if i saw a dog or cat put in the crusher! I want to know why customs seized it tho! Anyone got any ansewers as why customs may give a beautiful car like this the death penalty? :D

Whatever reason it may be there is going to be one pissed off person on the other side loosing his $80,000 skyline!!

I prob would cry.... i just stuffed up my control arm and little bits like that costing $1200 and i nearly cried.... it's like my little baby just broke her leg :-( :Oops: :)

I hear ya Lauren, i guessd when you spend enough time or money on something then ya become attached, before i bought my skyline i sold my VL , i was sad to see it go.

To compare a skyline (or any car for that matter) to a loved pet, such as a dog (i hate cats) is BLOODY rediculous.

I have two dogs, had them for 8 and 10 years respectively and they are loved LIVING creatures.... you may put alot of time and effort into a car - but at the end of the day its a piece of metal with 4 wheels and few other bits and pieces....

R34 GTR crushed... sad yes, but tragedy or life altering NO.

Daniel

each to their own Immacul8 .... but pathetic as it maybe thats how i view my car .... sorry.

Yeah guess it could be import docs werent filled out or something - but yeah pity it just couldnt be stripped for parts.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
