So many treads on SAU about buying R33 GTR's, might want to do a search first

but you can start by reading this

Also i would recommend getting it checked by Import's workshop as they would know what to look for

Get the motor checked. Compression test & leak down and help identify the condition of the motor, don't want this item being tired as it can cost you a fortune. Avoid RAC checks, they are hopeless, get it checked over by a Japanese workshop.

Was happy with an R34. Pretty much agreed to buy it, pending inspection result. Even had my bank cheque in my pocket.

Took it to ASG for an inspection just to be safe. 160 105 155 160 110 100 on the cylinders :)

Best $200 ever spent.

God_speed is selling his very shortly.

Totally unmodified except exhaust & Tein adjustable coilovers (by remote).

Won best R33 GT-R at SnS April '09.

100,000km service done in full by Tune House just a little while ago > worth a look, unless you want lots of mods.

I used to have a M-P one a few years back, and had no problems with it.

Comp test + check front crank seal for oil (re: oil pump)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
