Wtb R34 Gt-R V-Spec/vsii Genuine Buyer Money Ready


Recommended Posts

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?

As above, found a few of those BB R34 GTR underbody pics.

Attached below out of interest.

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

when these guys bought the cars over in 2000 i dont think they could get them registered either?...

mine wasnt actually complied untill 2002 haha..

Wow. That's appalling! Bet you walked out of there pretty fast!

Droooooooooool

1999 Bayside Blue BNR34-V-SPEC/NUR

48,597.52 AUD

http://www.global-au...dat&model=BNR34

It has a blue build plate dude, prettty sure thats not a Nur.

+ 95k on a Nismo cluster. Happy days indeed.

^ 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 :)

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.

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

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
