hello everyone,

I have a R34 gt 4 door in the colour red.
Reason for stripping: no cash or time to complete the car.

Originally bought some time in 2008 as a stock as a rock R34 GT Non turbo automatic.
through out the years it has gone through some minor and major changes:
Manual conversion, R34 GTT box, completely overhauled A-Z not even done 300km on it before the car was to be converted to rb26.

Got a rb26, stripped it apart, and got it rebuilt fresh.

Bottom end:
Eagle rods, H beam, CP pistons, ACL bearings for main and rods, full new sealant kit, top to bottom, every seal replaced.
Has N1 oil pump.

top end: Rb26 head, bought off someone here. came off a drift car, had bigger cams (Greddy, not sure of duration and lift), stronger springs and bigger valves, incl Ti retainers and new buckets w shims, head drain plug on the rear.

fully blueprinted and cleaned. paid over 3k for the head alone.
has tomei 3 layer metal headgasket, arp head studs, blitz 700cc+ injectors

some no name single turbo top mount manifold, and the standard rb26 intake with ITB.

no turbo

The bad: car has Never been started and sat in an underground garage for 2 years.

In that time, it has been broken into and had a heap of stuff stolen, my lovely brand new apexi intake system with the two z32 afm's, power fc, rear castor arms, $400 worth of Service manuals, which included EVERYTHING about the car, electrics,engine, chassi, codes numbers and names and billions more information. plus various other things i really dont remember.

Previous "mechanic" decided it was wiser to cut giant holes into the engine bay to run the IC piping through. By that i mean he cut a giant hole out roughly 30x30cm on each side of the engine bay.....

they broke in through the Front passenger window, so that is smashed.
Other than that, the entire car is still there.

other items on the car: Standard interior no rips or tears or marks, perfectly clean. (besides the millions of glass pieces on passenger seat)

has coilovers, from memory was G1 or G4 brand coilovers, Rock hard cant even sit in the car without getting severe spinal injuries.

R32gtr brake upgrade kit, the Nissan 4 pot front and 2 pot rear, with slotted DBA 4000 r34 Gtt rotors.

Has black 18x8 rims, rubber should be replaced, depending on what you want to use them for .
Have a brand new HKS hi power silent as well. never used, still mostly packaged. with the bubble wrap and some papers.

has carbon fibre bonnet and eyelids, incl Xenon lights with aftermarket ballasts.

the car can be registered, was complied etc, and was regoed till 2011.
But since then, i ran out of funds, and time and space.
so here i am now, wrecking the car.

i would prefer to sell the whole car as is if anyone is interested, would save me from having to take everything apart for stripping.
perfect for a track car, or project, was originally supposed to make it into a Blitz r34 drift replica, but...... No.

car is 90%+ complete, just needs a ecu, oil cooler, front engine bay holes welded up, turbo and the IC piping attached. (has r33gtr intercooler setup)

as a whole i would gladly let the entire project go for $9k ONO

however if nobody is interested in the next 1-2 weeks, just tell me what parts you need and i will list them with a price and you may choose to buy them.

I shall upload pictures tomorrow, plus i can also email/ MMS photos if you wish

contact me on here, or over email/ phone

Jean

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
