all belts changed at 57,000 by Pitwork Japan with books.

car is modified to 170rwKW from within the first 6 months of ownership

car regularly sees redline and driven appreciately for the last 3 yrs.

services every 4000 k's with MOTUL :D

car still feels like the first day i test drive her.

Problems:

-rod bush at 85000k's; whiteline have poly ones for around $80 pair

(plus installations and alignment) i recommend the whiteline 'handling package'

Bought my 1987 HR31 Coupe 6 months ago, had 37,000k's when purchased, now has 42900k's on it now. And YES the are geniune k's as been check out by different mechanics.

I'm the first owner in Australia and got a 3 year warranty on it. 4.5 out of 5 rating from auction in Japan.

some of you people aren't driving (read: enjoying) your cars as much as you should be! hahaha....

what are you guys doing , just leaving the car in the garage as a mantlepiece!??!!?

i've had to change HEAPS of things!!! its such a piece of shit!!!!

-swaybars

-camber bushes

-castor bushes

-intercooler

-exhaust

-front bar

-ecu (yup! even the standard computer had to go!!!)

-i even had to fit an oil cooler!!!

-turbo

-clutch

-fuel pump

-z32 afm

-fuel regulator

as you can see, lots of things can go wrong with this car!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Mine reads 28,000 or thereabouts, not genuine though, it's really about the 68,000 mark... The reason for this was that the owner in Japan replaced the standard dash with a Nismo item and had the count reset or something. judging from the interior (only seen the car in person twice, otherwise im going off a heap of photos taken of it) the car is in EXCELLENT condition. There is next to no wear on any of the interior, such as steering wheel, handbrake, seats... it's all very tidy.

got mine in dec 02 with 77000 on it and now its up to 92000 and still running lovely (touch wood). Wen its time to let this one go its definitely a r34 gtr v-spec, cant really buy anything but a better skyline i reckon after you get one... they just hook you in i tells ya

Got my '98 33 last November with 96,000 on it, now up to about 120,000 with no worries. Only problem I've had is the coilovers that I put in after buying need rebuilding in the rear. Only problem is that it's impossible to find someone who can do it. The only reply I get is "WTF Kei Office??"

bought my 93' R32 GTS25 with 96000 kms on it. had it for about a year and half and now its just under 120000 kms. When I first bought it, tail shaft Centre bearing and one fuel injector had to be replaced. Bushes were changed at around 110k kms. Now, the car is misfiring when both idling and driving (been happening since around 112000 kms) and when this does happen, he car tends to shake. Is it the spark plygs that need changing? Actually, does any1 know what this exactly is?

i got mine in sept last year with about 138,000k's on it and now its got 171,000k's on it..

changed waterpump, gearbox ( auto to manual ), shocks, springs, other than that its been pretty good... the front cv's need replacing now so thats the next thing.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
