On 26/4/09, this car won the Skaifey award of Best R34 GT-R at the 10th Anniversary of The R34 GT-R. Deservedly so! :)

The only visible difference was that back then, it had Volk GT-Cs. See it in Issue #113 of PI Mag (only $5 for a back-issue)

On 26/4/09, this car won the Skaifey award of Best R33 GT-R at the 10th Anniversary of The R34 GT-R. Deservedly so! :)

It has also popped up F/S on... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fs...tr-t345997.html

Two beauties available right now! :(

terry are u saying gojira r34 gtr(bakes on r34 gtr) won the award....

love gold rims...

Yes 'Dumpe'.

This car now has some pedigree.

Both of the above cars do.

Both of those owners should be able to do a photocopy of their Award signed by Mark Skaife (for the new owner).

Both cars appeared in "Best Of The Best" PI Mag Issue #113, but the R34 GT-R was a main feature.

Both cars appeared in MOTIVE DVD #3 in a cameo role only in Chapter #8.

One of the reasons why Bakes removed those Gold GT-Cs was because the 'face #' was wrong and the car required spacers.

Yes, I agree with you that gold (or bronze) looks sensational on black.

'John Player Special' BMWs of the 1980s had gold livery on black.

My black R34 GT-R has gold Advan RG I rims for that reason too.

Just PM me with your full e-mail addy Dumpe, and I can send you plenty (with pleasure) :)

It won "Best Concours" last year at an SnS and was featured as the Cover Story in the Daily Telegraph Cars Guide of 17/4/09.

I can send them to you pretty soon, yes.

*Edit: you don't have enough Posts to PM > so send your full e-mail address to [email protected]

Hahaa...

I got your PM finally Quinton, hehe... > replied with plenty of pics.

You might wish to buy Gojira's black R34 GT-R, since my one is being sold as we speak. :)

I don't know why Gojira needs to sell it, but it IS a weapon too with a few more mods than mine.

Terry, I should pay you a commission :)

Its funny how this car came to my attention earlier in the year...

Bakes posted up a for sale thread over at rexnet (WRX forum) and we were all gobsmacked at the car. A few weeks later, I was sitting at the mechanics with my STi getting some attention and was reading a Jap Imports mag in the office drooling over the black R34 GTR. I realised it was Bakes car and felt the pressing need to have it. Too many coincidences!

Truthfully I'm selling the car because I'm worried that my kids will walk past it and scratch it accidentally one day. I have OCD about car care (as my wife will attest to), and with 3 kids under 7, it wasn't the smartest purchase at this stage in my life. We could also use the money for some house renovations and to expand my GP practice.

Hope the car sells and goes to an appreciative owner. I have a tuna/cray fisherman from SA flying up today (spur of the moment) who wants my R34 and a black R35 in his garage.....sounds too good to be true but you never know :D

I'm downgrading to an Evo for shits and giggles - can fit 3 kids in the back (unlike the GTR with only 2 seatbelts!)

email sent waiting for reply

Sorry Quinton, couldn't believe the interest in the car, and had to let it go to the first to put money down.

All the best in your search

Hefty deposit taken

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
