Been looking for a clean unmolested 94 32gtr for a while, im not saying yours is but to get it there ill need to spend time and more importantly money to freshen it up or at least match the body kit colour to the rest of the car as well as freshen up the interior. Especially it being a 94 V-SPEC 2 it should all be kept in immaculate condition. I like that I'll get to see it all done myself as I tend to keep my cars long term.

I've made some calls and so far I'm looking at $3000 for a respray to match everything, and either $600 for a clean set of 32gtr seats or $2000 to get r34 gtr seats (haven't decided yet). If the timing belt hasn't been done I'll be looking at replacing it then getting other belts, bearings and seals done for peace of mind, and considering its a 200,000km+ motor a head recondition would also be a good idea.

I'm not including the cost of the dash and other interior bits because these things are expected of a car with this amount of km but I do need to consider the rest - money you're asking Id expect it to be in immaculate condition. I'm sure you understand this.

Hey mate, I don't know what your talking about in getting the body kit colour matched, it's the same colour already. If you want to get new seats that's your choice, the only one with an issue is the driver side one and it's very minor. All belts and fluids were done just before 200,000km (had it's major 100,000km service done then, have receipts) so you don't need to do those. Basically at the end of the day if you want to do all that stuff, that's fine but that is your problem and not mine. If you don't like the price and you expect an immaculate VSpecII for $17000 then go and find one somewhere else.

I'm getting sick of having to come in here and deal with these sorts of posts. I shouldn't have to. The rules clearly state if you don't like the price then don't comment on it. Use PM, that's what it's for.

Ok enough reporting - Joe's post is not out of line, unlike the others who've been dealt with.

Joe is simply going over the estimated costs to get the car to a certain level which is based on the information / pictures you've supplied based on what else is currently on the market.

There is a point of being reasonable here.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
