This is no different to 99% of other jap imports.

This is what really pisses me off! I imported my car directly with around 50000 genuine km's (books). Im one of the few that has chosen to not install aftermarket clusters and roll the kms back and list the true amount of kms my car has travelled now its for sale. I have people contacting me saying my car isnt worth the money because its done 100k and habibs is for sale on lebspec.net with 43000 genuine kms on a 99 for 5k less.. so naturally i told him to go buy it. Its a fact that the majority of import skylines, including gtrs, have travelled a substantial amount of kms! If they haven't, and they actually have low km's, they wont be cheap because of the fact they have genuine low kms. I've seen a R34 GTR M-Spec with 12000 genuine for over 100k, and your telling me this blue one has 34k genuine and is half the price.. doesnt add up.

/end rant.

Just ask Aaron at import monster... he imported a white R34 GTR 99 non-vspec which ended up owing him only $36k from memory

thats the same as me :P big thanks to iron chef imports, plus mine is in midnight purple II :D

I hear ya.

I got mine for about 41 - 42 ish, might come to 43 depending on the wheels i might put in

still on the boat, will be landing around first week of Nov

might do a thread ones the thing lands and in my hands

I had to wait for a while as my budget was a bit low and were loosing nearly everything we are bidding and just when i though, it time look for white or silver one...... WON this

I decide to import via J-Spec (Ben @ J-Spec being very helpful, this is my second import with them) as i could not find Black / B Blue R34 V-Spec for under 44K, which was my budget

also wanted some nice goodies, which i got with the Car as well.. and it's 2000 model with updated dark interior so i am happy.

but just waiting and loosing so many auctions does take it's tall... and did mention waiting ;)

Photo of the Car - yes it got Fake V-Spec II badge on.... did FAST it and came geneiun 2000 V-Spec

Anyway on topic... 55K is bit too much for IMO , but no waiting

Gratz! Which one did you buy? I've been looking at the local ones for a while now.

Black one with stock bronze rims , 48,000kms , $48k is a bit much but thats the best i could do !

Really happy though , its a beast !

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
