Todd at JapLink - Haberfield, has just put the word out that a Silver R34 GT-R Nur might make its appearance on a car lot soon.

He has essentially warned our club members and friends that one should stay away from this car.

Apparently it has been purchased by a dealer along P'matta Rd, but he hasn't been able to fathom which dealership.

PM me about its history if you or your friend come across it and are tempted.

More info may have arrived since my post huys; so I'd email Adam at JapLink Motors www.japlinkmotors.com.au to identify the bad seed

If I have some time, I might also go down there tomorrow to check too.

Thanks Terry.. Just wondering as the so called car I have been dreaming about all these years and worked my arse off to finally get, mind you paying a heafty price tag has turned out to be a nightmare.. Not mechanically (I wish it was!) and I don't know which path to go down now?? Legal or just cop it and fix it? Anyways, that's why I'm curious as to what dealer it was/is at? to see if they are selling more dodgy cars and to warn potential buyers.. :(

That car is sure to be a shitbox. That seller from Haymarket buys and sells heaps of cars and every single car he advertises has km's that are rolled backwards stupidly obvious.

I first came across him last year when looking for an exotic. He goes by the name of Jimmy, James,jack, van, qui...etc... I got a PPI done on a 360 of his, he said it was only 12000km old, no accidents etc, turned out to have had 65000km and had been in a serious front ender.

More recently he advertised a gallardo with 26000km on carsales, after 2 months it didn't sell. The car went off carsales for a month and then reappeared (same car, same photos, different description, different name, different mobile number, same suburb) at now only 9000km Milage on it. Import documents show the car came to Australia 2nd hand with 33000 miles (not km's) on it. That private seller is a crook and a half.

Beware of this dodgy private car seller. He uses many aliases but it is pretty easy to figure out if a seller is him just by the way the ads are written. He is Vietnamese.

So did anybody end up finding out who had this car on there lot or end up actually seeing it?? Please pm me with the details of the dealer so I know for future reference.. Cheers guys.,

OK.

This car is out or coming out at either of these two yards...

but I'll let you fill in the dots.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
