Extra Info:

As you may have seen I'm currently importing a new daily from Japan. As such, my beautiful daily of the past 2.5 years will be for sale in about 2-3 months time. I am the first owner in Australia and I have treated the car very respectfully. Services have been carried out around the 5,000km mark, far earlier than the recommended service interval of 10,000km's. I'm quite pedantic. Currently sitting on ~148,000km's but don't let this deter you. These are genuine km's, not 'wound-back-in-Japan-before-hitting-Australia' km's. The engine runs like a dream, idles beautifully, doesn't use any fluids, etc. Diff is wonderfully quiet, transmission works well. No accident history, beautifully straight car.

Some facts about this car:

2.5L Inline 6cyl Turbo (RB25DET Neo) - Engine is stock. Plenty of power but potential for plenty more if desired.

Automatic with steering wheel and tiptronic shift

Very rare factory Pearl White. This is not common. Most white R34's are not pearl. This is a limited edition colour. Paint is shiny and in excellent condition.

Rare factory Nismo Lip Kit (it's plastic, not fiberglass)

Nismo Clear front and side indicators

Electronic Folding Mirrors

Factory HID headlights

Driving Lights

De-winged

Privacy Glass

Excellent condition interior

Traction Control

ABS

4 Wheel Steering (damn easy to park)

Old-school turbo timer (as old as the car hehe)

Factory dash gauge-pod

Digital Climate Control

Factory weather-shields

Factory floormats

Fujitsubo stainless steel turbo-back exhaust

Nismo lowered springs

Stock Wheels in good condition

Carbon fiber-look pillar trims

JVC CD/MP3 headunit. The cool thing about the R34 - no external aerial, it's built into the rear windscreen :P

Fire Extinguisher

Massive boot

Timing belt was changed at 98,000km's. Due again at roughly 200,000km's.

Items replaced in my ownership aside from service items:

*Brand new genuine rear hub assembly

*Brand new genuine A & B shift solenoids

*Brand new Iridium Spark Plugs

Any negatives? Not many. Just cosmetic.

One crack at the of each side-skirt. The de-wing job in Japan wasn't that great. Small rust bubbles on bootlid and indentations where the wing sat. Either fix and respray or replace the bootlid - both options around the $300 mark. I never got around to bothering to fix them as they didn't annoy me that much. Has none of the common rust that the majority of R34's suffer on the rear end.

Thanks for that. Indeed, not many stock examples around these days. It'll be a little sad to put her up for a sale in a few months as she's been the most reliable car I've ever owned, but time to move on.

No worries. My Cubic hasn't left Japan yet so realistically this car will be available for sale in ~2 months time. In the meantime it'll get another service >_<

I'll also endeavour to get some better photos of the whole car (inside and out) closer to the time I'm ready to sell.

Your car is 100% sex on wheels! It's gorgeous!

You guys are right don't find to many Skylines let alone R34's that haven't been molested by a P plater (I'm allowed to say that cos I am a P Plater). It's a shame really because they seem reliable cars.

My boyfriend was looking at Skylines before he got his (Mitsubishi) FTO and they were all screwed.....and I discounted Skylines when I was first looking for a car to replace my BMW, cos there is very few that aren't screwed....same with FTO's unless you get a good example you're asking for trouble.

What's with the Nissan Cube though??? They're little boxes

  • 2 weeks later...

The Cube's landed in Sydney, I'd be hoping it's complianced and on the road end of this month/start of next month. I'll be putting the car in for another service just before I put the car up for sale. So early October should work for me :action-smiley-069:

  • 4 weeks later...

Getting a bit closer to being ready for sale now as my other car is nearly here.

Service booked in for next week, I'll probably spend all of next weekend thoroughly cleaning her and I'll get some new photos and a new thread up once she's ready.

You've still got another couple of weeks before I start aggressively advertising it (Carsales.) My Cube should be registered next week, I'll give it another week and at that point if there's minimal interest on forums I'll put it up on Carsales. You'd be welcome to inspect and test drive it next week.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
