fatz - what are the most common places for rust that you've seen so far? Chassis rails? Underneath boot carpet?

I'd assume he was referring to R32s. I don't think R34s will have much rust on them form my experience. But nearly every r32 GTR has fair bit of rust on firewall, strut tower, bottom of the rear wheel arch and underbody.

I've also seen a large quantity of rusty ones out there.

When I get a chance later tonight, I'll show you the underbody of a fresh import BB R34 that I saw shortly after I bought mine. You'll love it.

R34 are commonly prone to rust around the rear boot brake light, I've also seen rust around the strut tower welds, window seals etc.

I believe the original Japanese location of the car will obviously also play a significant part to how exposed it was to salt.

Good thread, however maybe should be split in two parts and the bulk moved to the general discussion area and the other moved to WTB?

Hey Mate,

I have no issues with people discussing, I have been getting good feedback from this thread regarding cars that aren't even advertised yet that people are looking to sell.

If mod's want to close or move it I have no issues either.

Wow that looks like absolute crap ! Rather typical of a vehicle thats spent its entire life in the snowy regions of Japan

yea i think the less time spent in japan the better!

mine was imported in June 2000! was only about 1 year old, and cost the first aus owner a fortune, but had to move it on to make room for another car to add to his collection, and the gtr was the cheapest car he had ha. still sold it in 2004 for over 90k to the owner before me...

Ha funny you mention that.. I was flicking through one of my mates collections of receipts on his silver 34R Vspec after he bought it and he pointed out the purchase details on the car from the first owner in Aus during the early 2000's which from memory was somewhere around the $110,000 mark !!

Good to see that they have come within affordable price range yet still kept their value rather well despite their age. Look at E46 M3's which are newer than our Japanese counter parts, where ALOT more expensive once upon a time and these days available for under 35k with no dramas. Got to love BMW depreciation :P

^ After actually reading the ad, it does say the car had a Nur engine installed < 3000KM ago.

So if you do go and persue this one, I recommend you check it has the 24U stamp on the block to ensure its not just a standard 26 with the covers painted.

Thanks mate for clearing that up... I'm slowing learning about the 34's.

It's a new learning experience as I'm comming from a Toyota background.

Could have been an M spec Nur from the front end (no bonnet scoop), but seats and a bunch of other stuff in the other photos say no.

You don't even need to look further once you see the front end. No scoop on bonnet, so it's just VSpec.

All late 2000+ bayside blue = bayside blue engine bay.

Earlier = black, which is standard gtr and vspec.

Hehe since everyone here is discussing r34 gtrs, I will break the ice here. I actually like series 3 R33 GTR, in KN6 colour. And series 3 R33 GTRs are actually much rarer than R34s. Just saying :)

Iwas talking r 34 gtrs... Mind u 32 are far worse

Picks above say it all, easy check is the rear sub frame they surface rust first, then it's the sills then the rear end

I think earlier in this thread someone mentioned a mp2 v spec (that sold 1 year ago)that when i checked it out you could put a finger through the floor

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
