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

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....

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

-swaybars

-camber bushes

-castor bushes

-intercooler

-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.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
