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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
