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

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
