Hey guys,

I just had a quick look along paramatta road and saw this

http://www.japlinkmotors.com.au/zoom.php?id=137

They have $28k on it, but pretty much offered it up for $22k without me even haggling!? so, not sure

if that means there's something wrong with it or what... I did spot some over spray on the drivers side skirt.

Totally original, including exhaust, no dash bubbles etc

Will go back tomorrow when I have more time to look properly.

Think I'll cancel the inspection on the one I've been looking at, I need to put more time into looking.

No, it was almost dark, so I'll go back tomorrow.

Mate, that's the last thing I want to do - spend more cash the second I buy it!

Is there something wrong with the standard ones? or you mean for more power?

Looks neat. Did you take it for a test drive?

And if it has original turbo's, I'd be replacing them with some fresh garretts!

Things to check:

*Model Code, must end in AA to be a V-spec I or II (link from "Babyskyline" http://www.users.on.net/~goofyhsk/info/chassis_plate.html )

*Build date must 1993 for V-spec I, 1994 for V-spec II

*Should have a finned rear diff housing (easy and common to change though apparently)

*Brembos (again easy to add)

*Rust around boot, inside wheel wells.

*Amount of black paint on the plenum, (Refer photo, the less black paint the more it has been flogged)

*Trim around the rear side windows, if it does not fit, it has had body work

* if this is all good then I will look forward to seeing your V-SpecII next to mine at the R32 21st anniversary cruise!

Forgot the photo after all that!!! No worries, spent a long time looking for mine,

don't bother looking at the speedo for kilometres,

*pedal pads getting worn and leather around the handbrake/gearstick cracking happen around 100k

*as far as turbos go refer to my reply in your other thread, Timing belt would be the thing I would worry about more.

Mate, are you sure that Chassis plate link is correct?

Because if it is, according to the plate on this car, the car should be white, not silver!

Hmmm, silver V spec II - only colour they come in, with a chassis plate for a white car?

Is there anyone who can verify the paint codes? it should be BLO - not KLO

Its definitely suspect! also convenient that the last few letters are scraped off the ID number

Its actually the '8' though that designates V-Spec not the AA and it does appear to have an '8' after the S

but am I wrong, or were there no white V Specs made?

Doesn't add up.

Plenums can easily be repainted and stock gearknob/leather surrounds are easily changed too...

Edit: Nice spot braddock. Vin switcharoo?

The number, or the whole plate?

This is form the "what to look for thread" This plate was definitely etched... not engraved, but not print smooth either

The BLUE Nissan Build Plate should have the details PRINTED on it... i.e. If you run your fingers over the details printed on it, it should be smooth. IT SHOULD NOT BE ENGRAVED... If it's engraved, it has a fake Nissan Build Plate with a fake Chassis Number. These are forged and put on stolen cars with a new and legitimate chassis number.

This BLUE Nissan Build Plate *should* also have two white plastic rivet-like fasteners holding it on... If they're missing, ask yourself why. The Build plate should NEVER be removed, unless perhaps for a full respray including engine bay...

Lol, the vin still looks suspect though..

Just the scratch on the model number where it matters for a VSPEC II.

Run the Vin through nissan fast? That'll let you know for sure.

Every standard color was available in V-spec II, the pop rivets holding the build plate on look mighty strange too...

same thing as you were thinking, does any one have the body # will ask to someone in japan to verify this. The bumper insert are after market and not a stock Vspec item.

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.

      I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.

      Rusty roof repair

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway.

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
