I checked out a R34 25GT Auto Coupe today and some bits have got me a tad bit but does not worry me too much. I just want some opinions on it:

Nagoya Motors

This car was originally bought from Nagoya Motors. Can anyone give feedback on their cars they bring in or any experience with them?

Also complied on the 10/10/11.

ODO Reading

On the import papers, it states that it has done a little over 42,000 KMs (yes I did not miss any digits). Bright red flag here given that the fact the car is 13 years old. 99.99999999999% sure that it has been reset. But the interior is pure immaculate and I've never seen such a clean R34 GT before which supports the KMs by a 00.0000000001%. Barely a nick anywhere.

Should I be too worried about the KMs? Is there any way to verify the KMs?

All panels seem nicely aligned but I'm lead to believe the boot lid was replaced since it has a GTR badge on the lower right corner where your usual GTR badges would sit. Badge also looks genuine too.

Body

Driver side fenders have a big dent due to a hit and run, clean dent, no paint scratched off or severe enough to effect other parts. Could be a bolt on/off replacement?

Front bar is a fibreglass copy of the Altia bar that has minor crack.

Engine Bay - Googled Pic Attached for reference.

Some strange wires leading from what appears to be a factory fitted unit that sits on a golden bracket on the top left corner (driver side) of the engine bay, where most R34's I've seen have it removed. There is several wires leading from it, a few leading to the horn. Didn't get a chance to snap some pics of it but googled an image to get an idea.

Also "Y" pipe where the air intake is connected, has silver paint spray on it which I'm bit sus on.

Others

Nissan GPS unit still operational and in japanese - Can we convert signal to be used here?

GPS: as in the OEM fold up screen on top of the dash? if so - not doable and its a hand grenade anyway. I have built a system that "looks" oem but was not.

Nah man not that one. It's a single DIN GPS unit thats in Japanese. I assume it's OEM since it does have Nissan printed on the unit and is in Japanese. It's still operational but don't know what it says. It's got a flip up LCD.

The spray paint will be from someone respraying the engine cover. A true series 1 cover has red writing and is very rare to find in perfect condition. Next best thing is to spray solid silver to look like a series 2 cover. I was offered stupid money by a dealer for ny cover which was a perfect S1 example.

In the spot, What goes here, some kinda module/relay for 4wd models.

But I've seen the bracket that holds the module on almost all the 25GT's I've seen. Why would they need a 4WD relay?

The cover isn't sprayed and the red letters are still there. no signs of overspray around the cover, just the metal bit.

Nah its not man. I didn't get to snap any pics cause my phone was half dying and sunlight was low. Thinking of going in again today to snap some up with an SLR.

Edit: managed to find a pic online from the dealer it was bought from

You can see there is two wires blue and white on the bottom left corner of the pic, those two wires lead to the horn and to the black box where I asked "what goes here". Also you could slightly see the silver paint spray in the pic as well

Had more of a proper look at fast, the black box that goes there is the Wiper amplifier, the other smaller clip on bit is for a relay for 4wd models.

Oh right. What does the amplifier do and why would it be removed from most cars?

To bad mines not on sale till august next year lol no bs attatched. This sounds a little dodgy to me

Mines got 110 000km and the interior looks half the kilometers so interior is not always good judge of KMs.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
