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

wrong part of the forum, there is an importing car section.

just my 2c

wow I think i just graduated to old school SAU forum nerd.

oh and i hope its going VERY cheap with all that panel damage~!

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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
