Anyone Dealt With This Importer?

[w34ponGT]

hey guys looking at purchasing a r34 gtr that has been freshly imported

the importer is called Mo and from Park Orchards, Melbourne

the r34 was imported as 3.5a with front quarter damage, however noticed the whole front of car is painted and both front quarter panels have been taken off

there seems to be acid rain on the roof and spoiler is slightly faded, rust is started to form from middle brake light.

says 94xxx km and last service record was at 85k in 2008

car went really well though, catback and boost and was very impressed with the power

its on carsales,

opinions/thoughts

cheers guys

I wouldn't bother, it sounds like a massive headache waiting to happen!

+1 on the headache

be careful with GT-R and prior damage

specially thing's like underlining rust or body damage

remember any seller will always hide as much as they can to sell the car and only tell you the bare minimum... so what you see and hear is not always the full story.

i hope your getting it for a very very cheap price mate

also 94KM fake or not, means you need to do 100,000KM service, so add around 1000 to the price or ask them reduce that much

by the way... how are the condition of the

- seat belts

- Steering wheel

- Padels, footrest

- gear stick, boot surround

- overall fading on plastics...

guess you can always take it to Racepace or some reputed place for a check...

my trusty mechanic allsparks will check it. the steering wheel gearknob pedals and seatbelts are in perfect conditio

n. he did say was only one front panel but i

noticed both panels have been replaced.. but how cheap is a good price for it? the car looks good. the whole front has been sprayed. and is an 01 with black interior. and silver compliance plate is that a vspec 2?

2001 model what colour

as with any R34 GTR ... BB , Black is more expensive than White which tern is more expensive than Silver..... exotic colours like MP are even more expensive

also got to do with it its a Normal GT-R, V-Spec or V-Spec 2, M-Spec.... etc...

V-Spec 2 will have

1. NACA duct on the bonnet plus the foot pedals are silver engraved and not rubber

but only sure way to tell is get the VIN number and check it using Nissan Fast software.. put a request on the below tread on here

i did get it checked at only said GTR.. not GTR/V2 which i thought it was a vspec 2 as it has alimimuim pedals, that centre console is diff. white indicators. front lower diffuser but doesnt have the bonnet and rear diffuser. and doesnt have the extra 2 sensors

there you go then.... Nissan FAST can not lie, it recorded with what the car came rolling off the factory floor.... so that car is a standard GTR with V-Spec 2 pedals and 2000 model update interior..."silver center console and black interior"

someone has put front diffuser... which is just plastic composite any way...

for even to be a V-Spec it needs to have (extra 2 sensors, Rear Carbon diffuser, Active LSD, etc) and it should come up as V/Spec in Nissan Fast

Now that you know this... you can bargain saying it 2001 R34 GT-R standard... if you'r mechanic says chassis rails are not bent and engine is in good condition "compression / leak down test"

then given you can bargain based on the above factors.. then decision is up to you..

Keep in mind you can import pretty good one for around 43K mark landed and on road, if you'r patient

got my one - V-Spec, No Accident damage,2000, Black, 65,000KM for 43K Landed... but have to play the waiting game to get at that price for about 3 months...

Broker wasJ-Spec

got it end of last year

thanks mate im very appreciative if your indepth responce.. now im kind of turned off this car. thing is he's selling it as a standard gtr but i was told its a vspec2 and he doesnt know it which i got excited. but a bit of research myself has informed there are standard gtrs with vspec2 items. i will ONLY buy a vspec. 99-02 doesnt phase me but i like the black interior. you got yours at an excellent price man well done

just on the blue / silver plate thing it has nothing to do with what model it is v-spec or standard as you have found, just means what factory it came from the blue plate came from Murayama plant and the silver plate came from Tochigi plant

If you are able to go down the import route, there appears to be a beauty going up for auction: http://www.j-spec.com.au/auction/2000-NISSAN-SKYLINE-1018147.html
