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.

Lol, what a joke.

A paint thickness gauge will certainly reveal aberrations etc

I've seen this car sit out the front of a house on my street for over a year

Having got some advice about running/owning a Nissan Skyline V36 350GT sedan, I'm now at the stage where I need some advice on which importer to go for. All Imports have a couple of good ones and I recently test drove one which seemed nice - 2007, 17k on the clock.

However, I went in blind with no real knowledge about what to look out for. At this stage should I get an independent mechanic to check it out - any recommendations in Sydney? Have people purchased cars from them before?

Ensure that the history of the car (from Japan) is available for scrutiny.

Take your mechanic friend to see if the 17,000Kms on the odometer is befitting of its condition.

Take the car to a place familiar with Skylines eg Tune House Marrickville and get it up on a hoist for inspection > worth the money.

BTW, I thought that the V36 was a 370GT. The coupe will suffer less depreciation than a sedan, so keep that in mind.

yes it probably had 17,000k around 2009.

The only way to get real K's at the moment is to buy through a broker - They only make their "finders fee" and have no more money to be gained in the sale.

Yes I am a dealer but I only buy to order now - I can't compete with clocked cars.

There are a lot of brokers around but you need one who manages the process - Like Iron Chef.

I do some compliancing for his customers and he break my balls to get it done ontime & to budget - While others dump their clients on you and do not tell the client the rules and pitfalls - such as certain states having strange rules.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
