Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a white 2002 R34 GTR V Spec II Nur. Struggling to find one in Aus at the moment.

Found one on carsales for $75K with no service books and I have also heard some negative things about the car.

Anyone know of one of these monsters for sale? I don't really want to import and end up like thousands of others who have been scammed but it may be the best way to get a nur since they are fairly rare.

Any other info such as phone number for a fantastic import broker etc would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Thousands of others who have been scammed? How did you come to this.

going by the stories not just on this site but on the net. cars not turning up, money being take, cars that are full of rust underneath, different car to the picture etc.

most of the people who have had trouble importing cars are guys who have purchased cars from an overseas exporter sight unseen without any help to guide them. generally (not always though) if you have a broker they can help guard against that as they have relationships with exporters and others in japan who can physically inspect cars for you and find out the truth. that's the important part.

you are right to be cautious but for something like a nur importing is the best way to go for sure. :)

Yes, you are right, there are so many traps in importing cars that I have crop plenty of it as a horby importer in the early days.

You have got a PM

cheers

Unless you know somebody who can do all the stuff in Japan and Australia , get in touch with one of the import brokers on here, eg Iron Chef etc. I was lucky, got an R34 N1 . Paid some money, it got here , paid some money and it was mine, easy and no headaches with all the paperwork .

What's a horby importer?? :S

Beer Baron is on the money, as always...

^^^ to further demonstrate this, i have attached an image which cleverly portrays, JUST HOW much beer baron is on the money as always..

scrooge-mcduck-make-it-rain.jpg

as can be seen here, we see Scrooge McDuck, sitting on top of a pile of money.

Much the same as BeerBaron, who is also spot on the money..

the difference however, is METAPHORICALLY speaking, Beerbaron is on the money, as in he raises a very persuasive and correct arguement. whereas, scrooge mcduck, is literally ON the MONEY. and is physically, as per demonstration above.

...so. who's got some blow?

Mr EPS Is on the money , is on the money , is on the money . lol

In terms of outright performance for sure, but for rarity/resale etc etc, Nurs hold their value a lot better than base models do. Depends on what you're after really, I think I got the best of both worlds with mine haha

PS Matt, finally getting around to fitting those ricey tail lights today!

yes don't buy a nur expecting a rocket ship but they do have some nice gear on them and as people pointed out their resale is rock solid. considering a nur in aus will fetch between $80 and $90K depending on condition and a standard 99 GTR will fetch $45-$55K and you get the idea. The carbon bonnet is very, very nice (but not really any lighter than the alloy stock ones), the other little bits are nice and the N1 engine is nice but they are still a pretty pedestrian car in standard form. any standard GTR has far more handling and grip than it does power so they are a bit underwhelming stock. but as little as a boost increase, ecu change/tune, exhaust and you suddenly have 230kw (or more) at the wheels and they sound better and suddenly feel like a sports car.

true the whole point of a GTR is its potential, given it's age now a stock STI or Evo will at least keep up and probably surpass any stock R34 variant on the track. Put some mods in though and especially when you're wanting 400hp+ then the GTR does it far easier.

The different variants are worth it in my opinion. Even something as small as a standard GTR vs Vspec why bother saving $5k with a standard GTR when the vspec has better aero, LSD, attessa and engine sensors.

okay do this as an experiment tomorrow - go up to a friend of yours n say

"i just bought an R34 GTR Nur spec edition"

then go to another friend, and tell this freind:

"I just bought an R34 GTR"

try it..

...see which one feels better to say :)

Edit: make sure that friend really knows their cars first - a female with no car knowledge will usually respond with "Oh that's nice" for most cars other than a Lambo or Ferrari...

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
