Ha, yea im pretty certain r34 gtrs were only made from mid to late 99 of any kind. If you get the vin I can run it in fast for you to check, or someone will on the forum...

I looked '2001 NUR' there before which I had to correct them into posting it as an 02' as they were only made from then etc...

Ahem....

Revival with question marks about a black R34 GTR VS2 Nur with a low 22***kms

Yeah right

Have been biting my tongue on this one, it's just not right!

How can they get away with this stuff? It's so easy to prove, really...

I like you A, and Marko and other SAUers feel so sorry for those who save so long and hard for their dream car only to be duped by George (the odo-adjuster) and others of his kind. Unless the wise ones who have frequented SAU forums and inspected with scrutiny any grey imports anywhere, the general public continue to be treated like mushrooms.

It is sad Terry...

The problem with it aswell (especially with 34Rs as theres not that much on offer), theres is a lack of comparison for correct kms.. i started to believe myself that what they had was pretty much how a 34r looked with 50k kms.. and to be honest, alot of other ones on the market looked in very similar condition with similar kms.. thats when i started wondering elsewhere inspecting other cars and was considering a 34R wasnt for me..

When i looked at my first 34R it was one of theres, and i think if they had the exact colour / spec i would have come very close to purchasing one from them, it wasnt untill i looked at a black vsII with about 110k kms onit that i really found proof that what these guys had was wrong.. the car with 110k kms showed considerable less wear and tear than any i had seen from them which really opened my eyes...

Its not a hard trap to fall into, and its not that every 34R they sell is a bad one, i just wish they would advertise them genuinely.. as now they are flooding the market with very incorrect kms 34Rs.. which in the end will damage the reputation for the car here, and really deter future buyers as it nearly did with me, not to mention the ripping off of the people actually buying them..

enough is enough, they have been doing it for years i believe.. as quite a few that i inspected privately, had also been brought in buy these guys..

Shame on them, as you said Terry, taking advantage of peoples hopes and dreams..

its just wrong.....

Ooooh I have plenty of examples... like the white Nur that went to Vic for compliance that had every panel replaced aside from the left rear quarter - yes, including the roof! It was so bad it was sold at USS-R (a wrecking auction), and yet it turned up here, being advertised by a member via PM for $65K landed and complied...

Not being rude to anyone but bad cars are killing the good ones (making a good car worth less).

I see a lot of R34 GTR's and the best ones tend to be bought in directly by places like Iron Chef (no free ads here) and companies like that.

The club has some really nice R34 GTR's in its ranks and when you talk to the owners you will find that their cars cost more than the ones advertised on Parramatta Rd etc.

The reason - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

I personally sold my R34 GTR a couple of years ago and would struggle to buy one that I'd be happy to own again for under $55k -FACT.

Dealers are not out there to lose money and they buy in the same places as the other importers - DO NOT BE FOOLED.

A GTR with under 100,000k's genuine will have a pretty good trim, there are not a lot of Japanese that are as big as Australians.

Enough of my rant - Just remember never assume the GTR you are buying is 100% - Always ask on the forum as you would be suprised on who is actually a member.

i've been looking for a v-spec II for 3 months now and couldn't understand why there was nothing coming up at auctions in japan, when there were cars here for about $50K.

i got my broker to inspect one that was advertised here and it turned out to have had welding done to the chassis rail.

have bid on an m-spec nur and a v-spec II nur at auction in japan in the last week and couldn't understand why they were more expensive than the ones advertised here.

now i know why.

it's a bit dis-heartening.

My mate bought a 34gtr from them. :S. I don't like the condition in which it is. It has different colored panels. So something suss there.

Also went there for a laugh to test a rx7 with my other mate. Lol, was grinding gears and the guy was like, oh you only have to buy this do dad for $200 and it's all fixed, he was adiment it had nothing to do with the synchros.

Lol, what a joke.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
