so I've been looking through the auctions section on www.japaneseusedcars.com and I found something that is quiet interesting. Up for auction next wednesday is this r34 http://japaneseusedcars.com/auction/wednes...No-WUF5039.html that looks as if it is a nismo omori factory S1. Not sure if it is genuine or not due to no proof/engine pics, but it does have S1 decals on the back and side of the car, aswell as only 9,000kms on what would most definately be a new engine. Genuine or not, it looks like a damn good piece of kit for what is so far only 42,304.80AUD. Would this car even be able to be complied here in Aus?

Hi.

You would have to confirm what you think it is as its only noted as a v spec 2. The reason for the r rating is repair to r/h front guard- r/h door and looks like r/h skirt or maybe sill.The kms are not genuine. With this r rating you really need somebody you can trust to inspect and advise.

not too sure what you mean by that, are the genuine ones only bayside blue? don't they offer a S1 tuning package either way?

no, they can be any colour, from red to MP3

S1 engine packages are offered by Omori, they are basically a stage 1 package, but built by Nismo

here is a picture of an S1 engine i took in 2006 at Omori

The car youve posted a link too does indeed have an S1 engine fitted from the description,

Jeez, some of you guys need to brush up on your auction report reading....

As Noy said, this car has been floating around at auction since May, mainly because it has been STARTING at 3.8 million yen, so goodness knows what the owner wants for it.

It's not a colour change, if it was it'd be marked on the sheet.

It's had a hit on the front right, taking out the quarter panel and driver's door, although given the owner still managed to get a replacement S1 emblem, the accident must've been a fair while ago (Nismo don't sell those emblems any more).

It IS a legit S1, build number S-005, it actually says so on the sheet. In saying this, Nismo only converted existing GT-Rs to S1 or R1 specs, they weren't a specific model like the Z-Tune was, which is why it's marked as a V-Spec II.

The car has had two gauge cluster changes, one in 2004 at 18,000km (most likely when the S1 conversion was done) and then in 2005 at 6000 (indicated), making a total somewhere around 33,000km on the car itself.

i miss read the 6, as a 60k, due to replying on my iphone

but your right, its a genuine S1, with the cluster change and now has a 320 nismo cluster in it.

colour changes are not always marked on the sheet tho, depends on how honest the auction house is ;-)

there must be something wrong with it, if its been there since may,

maybe if you inspect it close up, you would find out

most R34 GT-Rs (excellent ones) are approx 3.5minimum up wards so its in the right ball park but odd if its been there since may, something doesnt tally up

the "badge" looks like a sticker, which Nismo still sell tho

The emblem is a sticker, yes - if you can source one from Nismo, then I'm all ears, I'm after an R1 emblem for my car. Last I checked they didn't have any left.

did you call Omori direct or did you just go through an agent?

calling direct is the best policy

you can still get them

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
