Hey guys im looking to buy a r34 gtr. I dont really want to spend 50k so im looking at more of the lower end of the scale. Theres one in Prairiewood NSW that has caught my eye but the price seems low im wondering whats wrong with it. Does anyone know this car? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/nissan-skyline-2000-11849290?base=1216&vertical=Car&cr=4&eapi=2&__N=4294739858%204294856205%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294963846%204294963593%201216&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&sort=default

i dont know the car.. i dont know the owner..

but im finding it very hard to see what your problem is?? you dont want to spend $50k.. but one for $40k must have something wrong with it?? is this your logic?

its a FOR SALE addvert, call the guy selling it and ask about the car!!!

It does seem a little cheap considering the mods and KM.

But then again, sometimes it just takes one person to sell it cheap and others follow. Could be a good buy. Best bet, go see it! Impossible to really tell from photos that to me look like have been instagrammed to death.

looks good to me...

Do Eeeeeet!

seriously curious how this goes as its my dream car too, im a few years off affording one but hope they drop a little more in price but i doubt it will be ever much less than 40k

get a mechanic to make sure its tip top and go for it!

This

For the price it looks like an absolute bargain. Worst case motor blows, big deal put a 2.8 stroker in it and have a beast for under $50,000.

To put things in perspective there is no way on earth you could build a reliable (use this term loosely) 400kw+ 34 GTR and get any change from $60,000 including purchase of the vehicle.

So was it good?

Dont really want to bad mouth the car and stuff up his sale, but i will say this.

looked like it had a rear end accident (not 100% on this, only looked at it briefly as very early in the inspection i knew it wasnt the car for me), looked like a pretty average respray job on most of the car, and the front bar looked like it had been sprayed in a backyard (could still see large sections of white where they didnt paint in the vents etc)..

the engine work looked ok though.

I wouldn't be surpised if he accepted 30k given its been on the market for a long time.

Just beware of structural damage as you will get a lot of problems if it hasnt been repaired properly.

Id buy a car with a perfect body and a blown engine (can be replaced easily), over a car with a messed up body and a good engine anyday.

Cheers for the input guys. This was the kind of info I was looking for, someone that has actually looked at the car before. Even better a actual GTR owner (Rather nice one aswell :yes: ). I would love to go look at the car in person but seeing as im in a different state I would rather try and find out some info on the car first before I was a flight over. I even seached through the forums to try and find the owner.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
