Hey,

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the yellow GTR for sale on carsales (link). I'm considering having this car inspected as I'm currently looking for a R34 GTR but I was wondering if anyone has any input regarding the car. The main things that concerns me are the amount of time it's been listed (8 months), no service history, and to a lesser extent the number of kms. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to write anything publicly :)

Thanks a lot!

Hey mate,

I know nothing actually about the car, but i can say before i bought mine it sat on carsales for along time also... i dont think yellow 34Rs sell very well... not everyones favourite colour i guess?...

they go alright imo though ha

I had a look at that car when I was looking for my GTR and I could find nothing wrong with it, even after a test drive. I've seen the car at X-Speed a few times so I'm guessing it's had a service history since it's been with the current owner. He was definately an enthusiast and has taken very good care of it whilst it has been in his hands.

Also the date 26/11/2011is the last time he has updated his ad. I'm sure his ad has been up alot longer than that

Like i said will only sell it for the right (in his mind) price, nothing wrong with that.

From what i can tell its not not selling because its a bad example....

Thanks for the comments and PMs, I have been reading closely. Seller refused to consider lowering the price. I felt like it was definitely a 'if I get a high price I'll sell it sale' which I wasn't too keen on, would rather spend my time and $ with someone who's more motivated to move their car. I've since bought a different R34 GTR.

Welcome to the R34 GTR owners club! Now you have to give some info on your new car - what year, goodies, etc.

Cheers. :cheers:

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
