Scam for sure.

$6,700 and no phone number and it's still on carsales...

On another note, I wonder why scammers always ask around $7,000?

are you sure your looking at the right one? i cant seem to find it. and the one that i did see did have a phone number.

if i get the vin number off her can i check it with the rta or the police or something? ill only buy it if go see it aswell. maybe take a metal pole would be a good idea? hah

ive got an R34 GTR Vspec for sale if you are interested

$11,050 with 24,000 genunine kms on the clock and std vspec with exhaust

no phone number, you can't come and check it out, but deposit the money into my bank acct and you can pick it up a 3 days........

lol but thats the thing i dont get how can i be scammed if i can go see the car and if she does have a phone number? ill pay cash only

re-birthed, writen off and repaired, repossed car, locked in finance, engine mangled with unknown reliablity, other unknown car faults etc

there are many ways you can be suckered in so its your choice. once you pay the cash, guess where the contact goes to? disconnected number.....

please don't do it

its a load of crap

no right person in their right mind would sell a reasonable ER34 for that price

at worst you would put it at 11,000 and wait for people to call, $6700 is scam alarms

specially sammers like to make up believable stories and rely on the human factor of caring and trick you into thinking it's genunie

its the first way hackers break into networks etc, they use stupid human tactics to fool you and trick you

alright no worries dude i didnt think of rebirths thanks

there's so many wars to lure people in so just be careful. no one wants to fork over their hard earned cash for a nice appealing car to be ripped off

if you want to check out some honest owners and cars for sale etc come to the monthly sau vic meetings and meet some local members

at least you can talk to them and see their cars or ask if they know any friends one's for sale. also a good way to check prices and get advise before buying

we meet monthly

well im actually from NSW i was willing to travel to vic to pick it up, is there a nsw one?

Dude, you can pickup stockish r34 gtt's with a few mods for as low as $14k now from legit sellers. The prices are plummeting hard. R34's are getting old now (10+ years) and people are desperately offloading them. There is no record of those plates currently being registered with vicroads either so it is very likely a dodgy sale.

ah i see, no worries then, thanks heaps for that!

how can i check vicroads? and nsw roads?

http://www.vehiclestatuscheck.vicroads.vic...au/Default.aspx - only for Victorian Registered Vehicles though.

As for NSW, check RTA site but only show up if it's registered or not from memory.

Maybe what she is saying is true tho you never know, you could be getting a bargain, if your willing to risk the time and money to come and have a look at it then i would reccomend having someone do a thorough check on it, that would show if its a lemon or a rebirth and also do the usual vic roads checks which will tell you if its stolen, under insurance or has a current defect notice on it, if all checks out then you may get a bargain, if not you have wasted probably around $500 and walk away empty handed.

maybe it hasnt been re-regiesterd..or would it still come up?

i agree with everyone else...sounds like a scam..but do all your homework and if it turns out legit you got yourself a bargin

mm very true to the last two guys, how do you prove a rebirth, defects, and anything bad?? my brother said do a revs check? idk what hes on about. surely i could call rta and cops and stuff?

    • Welcome back mate ,I also joined in the early 2000's , since then I have been in and out a few times depending if I had a skyline in the garage.  I have the another one now , so signed up and back with the SAU team.
    • I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha  
    • If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 🤔
    • What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.
    • ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
