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

Any info on the car would be great. Thanks guys

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!

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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
