For the asking price you could pick up a realy nice r34 Gtr. At least that way it will actually be a Gtr.

He won't be selling it any time soon for that price.

Doesn't matter what's done to it, it's still just a gts4

It's an old workshop car which likely means that all parts and labour are cost price and whatever spent is a tax writeoff so nowhere near the cost of your joe blo building it. The fact that its been for sale for longer than I can remember tells you all you need to know about what the market thinks of its value.

As far as "buying a monster and saving 20k" we'll that depends what you mean by a monster. So I'll leave that be cause I can't even remember if its even cut a quick lap before?

It's a dated looking purple gts4 with a parts catalog thrown at it, that's not selling. Maybe he should part it out ??

Another couple of years and you'll get early model 35r's for that kinda money.

Personally as a streetable car I'd prefer a clean stock (minor mods) GTR with some nice jap wheels on it. In the forsale section right now fatz is selling a built long motor for 13k. Add another 3 to 5k for decent shock and spring package.

Stock bodykit + respray in a standard colour + lowered price and itll sell. If I had 40k ide buy it for 40k with a stock bodykit and a standard non-homosexual colour. Couldnt care less if its a GTS4 or not, its a mental car. But its just so expensive and a bit ugly itll never sell at that price.

I see that my car has been put up on this forum, thats fine i dont mind. If it never sells i dont care it can sit under its cover until my kids get it, they keep letting me know thay still love it. :wub:

I also see there are a few knockers thats fine i dont mind :action-smiley-069: . I hope that one day if you ever have the money to do a full build on a skyline to the level this car was built to you would then know the true cost, but i guess that dreams are free :no:.

I know what i have, and anyone that looks at a car like this will have done there research and know what it is or what its not. :google: if not i would let them know.

Easy i would just give them one of the many magazines that have featured this car with all the info anyone would want. or they could watch the many DVDs , movies, ytube etc, i think that this car was around when many of you were still at School, so i under stand your lack of Skyline knowledge in the real world.

You dont see me around the Skyline forum much these days sorry to say to many young P platers with no idea and no money but great with the keyboard.

I will run the add for a while and probably pull it as has happened twice before, there are just to many tyre kickers out there already wasting my time.

This is a great fourm and i have many great memories of the early days of Skylines down under as i was one of the oringals.

Thanks to all the old guys that still remember the old days. :happy:

I like this bit in the add.

DO NOT WASTE MY TIME if you have no money dont bother me i am old and grumpy.

I agree with some of the comments about colour and styling. the kit and colour are not my cup of tea.

I don't doubt its a hot car. but its a bit must pitching it as a GTR when its not.

Well aren't you a condescending fellow.

If you "know what you have" then why do you advertise it as a BCNR33 GTR when it is infact a GTS4 lol? :)

We must have a massive "lack of skyline knowledge in the real world" as for some reason alot of us cannot understand why you have falsely advertised it. Must be something only the older blokes know.

All us young p platers with "no idea" must sound pretty silly I guess to a man of your honesty, fairness and experience.

On behalf of us all, sorry for "wasting your time".

No doubt that it is a fantastic car with all the mods and R&D put into it over the years. No one can seriously doubt that. The awards, results and benefits to Advan over the years are proof of this. However, what has rubbed people the wrong way is the fact that it has not been mentioned in any ad that this car is a converted GTS4 to GTR.

If anyone thinks that this is not such a big deal then they aren't thinking hard enough about it. The fact that the car hasn't sold after such a long time reflects the market's take on it.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had gone to the trouble of arranging an inspection with another mechanic of this "GTR" only to end up finding out that it is in fact a GTS4 with GTR guards. Who is the one "wasting peoples time"?

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
