Hi Guys,

There has been a white R34 GTR V Spec 2 Nur for sale on carsales for a while now (located in QLD) and want to know if anyone has any info on it?

Has anyone been to see this car in person?

I know that the owner does not have log books to show genuine km's and will not let anyone test drive until a deposit is made but that's about it.

I'm looking to buy a white Nur and would love to get one that is already in the country, hence the reason I am asking these questions.

I have the VIN number, so if anyone has the Nissan FAST program please pm me so I can get it checked out.

Cheers,

Chris.

judging by only the photos. it doesn't look like a 47k car. more like 70 - 90k. only way to tell is to inspect in person and test drive. offer the owner a refundable deposit to test drive. if he refuses stay away.

Very true. I also asked the owner to send me some additional photos which show some scuff marks on the centre console (on both sides of the stereo). Nothing too bad...but being a Nur you think people would treat it a bit better.

and you would think that if you were trying to sell a 75k car the seller could atleast reverse it out of the garage to get some decent photos

LOL!

I can post some of the additional photos he sent me later when I get home. They still aren't very good shots but you can see a little more of the car.

I think you should contact Iron Chef and maybe look at sourcing one,

though obviously you may have to wait a tad with all the shiezer thats going dow in Japan at the moment.

Not only the sheizer is concerning me but also the extra 17-20K that it costs just to get the car here and ready to drive.

The car is only worth 60-70K over in Japan depending on kms and condition but so far all my quotes have been 85k+ due to taxes.

Would much rather one here in Aus. I'll most likely fly up to QLD for a day to go check out this car. Just want some suggestions from people on here first.

imo the deposit request is reasonable so long as nothing major crops up on the test drive.

I mean it looks like a well kept, stock Nür. The owner claims there is nothing wrong with it and if upon inspection and his test drive (you're the passenger) you can't see anything wrong and still want to purchase it, I'd pay the deposit. After your test drive if you find out the gearbox is farked or whatever take the deposit back as the owner as the owner has clearly lied to you.

Yeah sounds like a plan. Got to fly up sometime soon to take a look at it.

What things should I look out for when inspecting/test driving? I'm not the best when it comes to this so some advice would be much appreciated?

Test drive only when Deposite Paid."

Meaning, if you want to actually drive the car, you pay the deposit...

What if you just ride as front passenger? (seller drives the car)

Car looks clean, judging from the photos, but nothing beats a full inspection in person with your mechanic and test drive, to hear out for noises.

V-Spec II Nur's are usually treated very well with the occasional hammer out of the corner / down the straight... Still the car can handle it.

Check it out 1st and see how you go.

Hey, could be a lot worse... could be sitting out in the middle of a paddock... MOO

I know in Vic you can get a RACV (or similar) vehicle inspection done.

Would be something similar in Queensland.

If you're worried do that.

For a $75000 car I would be if I was unsure what to look/listen for...

When I was looking through the forums, I remember someone talking about this car. They mentioned that they went to look at the car and asked for the guy to bring it to a mechanic for a full inspection and the owner refused.

I'm trying to find the topic again but can't.

looks nice,

surely you would be able to find a mechanic that lives near by that knows performance cars, give him a ring explain your situation to him about the car, tell him you will give him some cash if he comes out and looks at the car with you.

also if the owner is refusing for the car to be proffesionaly looked over id be a little worried

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
