Anyone Know This Car/person + Possibly Check Out? In Chadstone


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm fairly interested in this GTT, I'm wanting to buy one and it has to be 2000, GTT, Black and manual and fairly stock.

This basically fits the bill and I've been looking for 2 months or so...anyway. TBH the price is a bit high, so first of all I'd like to know if anybody knows who owns this car OR whether they are on this forum.

If so, or even if not, is anyone able to check it out for me? I haven't contacted the seller yet. I just want to gauge whether anybody can help.

Cheers.

Any tips, knowledge etc feel free to throw my way.

Car is &sort=default"]here, click please!

Yeah I don't believe it's 70 000 km either! Too good to be true.

@enka, 17k is a bit out of my range, considering the fact that I may have to either organise transport for the car up to NSW OR flying down and driving it up myself...well I guess this is something I'll have to work out with the seller anyway.

Why 2000? arnt they identical to 98/99? If you do want it for low kms, I'd be making sure it has log books/ service history etc...

guessing those 70,xxx are from when the dash was changed.. lol

The only reason to tell is its condition really, how the motor runs, rust, rips/tears in drivers seat etc.

If I was you I'd stick to one that's been unmolested, that way you may have a bit more of

an idea on its actual odometer reading.

When I was looking for my 34 I spent nearly 12 months waiting for the "perfect" one to pop up, they are few and far between!

@jack - 12 months????? oh.....my...........well I guess you're right, no point buying a piece of crap in a rush. but 12 months WOW. the 2000 is the 'series 2', from 1998-late 1999 are the series 1 and then very late 1999/2000-2001 are the series 2, i believe. minor cosmetic changes in both exterior and interior, and perhaps some changes in components but no overall major differences (from my very very basic knowledge of this history). I like the look of the series 2 much more, and, though not always the case, an older car is older and therefore more likely to be worn/used/etc etc.

@enka, 17k is a bit out of my range, considering the fact that I may have to either organise transport for the car up to NSW OR flying down and driving it up myself...well I guess this is something I'll have to work out with the seller anyway.

just drive it back to NSW, buy a one-way ticket, easy! I did this with my 32, one-way ticket to Adelaide and drive back next day! Sweet drive!

i wouldnt even bother because of the simple fact he said "sms" if interested..

and also only 2 front coilovers?

smsing is wasting time, genuine sellers/buyers would rather a phone call

OP, if you're under any illusion that a used skyline of any age has not had a nice thrashing you're kidding yourself. Difference of 2 years between a 98 and a 2000 model is hardly worth paying extra for. Likewise, $17k is pricey for a car that's basically stock. 2 door GTT (turbo) coupes can be bought for $10-12k now, so I wouldn't rush in to buying one if you have time to look around.

@GTTR34 point taken good sir, but I am well aware of it already. of course it will have been thrashed, what i mean is that if you have the choice of buying an older car or a newer car you're still more likely to take the newer one - based on the assumption that a newer car has had less time on earth to be thrashed (but of course this is a massive variability in reality!)

and so yes, i definitely won't be paying 17k for that basically stock car. Having said that, where have you seen GTTs that go for 10-12? I've had my eye on the market for 2 months and never ever seen one that low.

Chris, i bought my R34 GTT 4D for $11500... And it was in great condition besides a broken wheel bearing.

That was a private sale that i found on carsales aswel.

Oh also it was a 1999, but it came with a FMIC, Pod, Hicas Lock bar, turbo timer, aftermarket Headunit, wheels(dunno what), and an exhaust.

Wtf guys ! That's ridiculous ! Holy crap. Went with a mate to the import yards today in Sydney, there were like 2 gtts out of 2 entire yards. There seems to be a shortage going on.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
