Dont stress. One of my skylines came from a dealer. Was immaculate. But was the only car in the yard without warranty. Reason being... nearly exactly what you were told. But I never had a problem with that car. Still own it.... but now its rb30det with new box and diff and no luxuries lol so who needs waranty

if it's the spare White Hot R34 GTR N1 V-spec 11, then it has a heap of good bit's and was mainly driven around during Targa by Big John's wife..

never shunted and well maintained...

but only if it is the car we speak of, but i haven't seen it for 3 or 4 year's, and i don't know where it's been

This is what the salesman has told me. But I will see what I can find out.

the car is indeed the ex white hot "Spare car"

its all only roumors but ive heard its been poked and prodded for parts ect. this may or may not resuly in a better car. its certenly cheap for what it is. i remember about 4 years ago it was on car sales for $150 000.

but like any import you do have the added bonus of going and giving it a thurrow inspection rather than buying one off a few pics from japan.

Yeah it did get poked for a few part's over the year's, it was mainly suspention but the front and rear bar's and the boot lid did

get used at rally Burnie 1 year..., but when ever the event was done it would all get pulled back off the racer and refitted to the

roady, and new stuff ordered for the racer..

it was Big John's wife Annie's daily road car for 3 or 4 year's, luckliy Jason never got to drive it so it was never thrashed,

pretty sure the $150K was for the Race car, when it was sold by White Hot pretty sure it when around 60-70 large

Hmmm thats a shame. It bothers me that it was whored for parts...i understand it was a 'spare' but i was hoping it never had to be used for that reason.

Ive been looking to buy for a while and i have developed a keen eye with the R34's and i noticed the Nissan and GTR badge are in the wrong position (even if not by much) on the boot lid when looking at the pics, so it doesn't surprise me you mentioned it was replaced or used on a different car. I know its not a big deal but i guess im fussy with these things.

It is still for sale on White Hot's website for $88k, so not sure whats going on there.

Thanks for your help.

That would be because John's Daughter used to do the website, and she has a full time job and 2 kid's now, so it doesn't get updated...

if your really worried about talk to Clint at Performance Paint and Panel in ulverstone, he does all the White Hot panel and paint

work of there race car's, so i recon he would have done any work on the roady..

Cheers

John drove this car, his wife has BMW's.

if i was spending any sort of money this looks like its going to be id be looking at other R34 GTRs.

definitely not one thats been used as a parts car, not to say it hasnt been put back to good condition......

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
