I'm in the market for a R34 GTT Sedan and came across this mob. They have a couple of Sedans for sale.

I've read a few threads on them and they seem ok. I wouldn't pay $13k for it though...offer them 11.5k - 12k probably. I've seen 2 GTT sedans go for 10k on this forum in the past 2 months....

What do you guys think? Clean car? hard to tell with their PS'ed pics.

i got my sedan from there and im happy with it , my one is a manual series 2 i payed 18k and dont regret it.

the price sounds fine to me , shane is good to deal with he will let you take it for a drive and will let u get it checked anywere you want .

he looks and talks like a dodgy car sales person but in all honestly he is a genuine bloke and is happy to help . have fun trying to get the price down though lol, hes good when it comes to getting thigs added like rims or alarm or different exhaust but the price is the price and you have to battle to get the price down, go have a look in person he wont push you to buy

another one that caught my eyes. But the most likely fake K's, the crappy spelling and the hmm (no offense) name leads me to think it's gonna be dodgy.

can a car be imported, complied and NOT registered, sitting on your doorstep?

YES it can...my car was sitting in my garage awaiting resgistration inspection for few days....complied and imported ofcourse....the guy must have just imported and brought it back home from compliance and didnt bother registring it...it can happen..

About the ks...looks fake to me too...but try to source out a service manual of the car...might help if he has one...service stickers around the car helps too...one guy ages ago bought a 32 gtst and said 70k on the clock but there was a jap service sticker of 120k....so look for that too....

you have to have compliance plate to get reg , so yes is possible i dont kow why they wouldnt reg it though ??

I spoke to the seller. He said it was complied via Kamikaze. Its not registered though...its in Campellfield.

Am I allowed to contact Kamikaze and ask about the car? Or is that breaching privacy etc etc...?

They're almost definitely fake. I'm guessing the reason it's the price it is that it was a REALLY high km example that they bought at auction for cheap (hence the price landed here), wound back the km's and put it up for sale. Legitimate low km examples still fetch a premium in Japan, they wouldn't be at the bottom end of the market. It's common sense.

If it's too good to be true, it is.

Btw, I thought Kamikaze were going bust? Quite a few people were having problems registering cars they'd bought through Kamikaze into their name a few months back. Haven't read anything since.

Worse probably an accident damaged car...

the racv car checks are bull...all they do is visual checks...if you can hear anything wrong..nothing is wrong..lol...waste of money imo....never heard of stateroads..new organisation?

    • 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?
