Have you checked the chassis number with Nissan to vertify that its in its original colour? That blue doesnt look standard to me and why the hell would you paint R34 GTR wheels white?

If it checks out then there is no reason not to buy if you are satisfied in your purchase.

Roy, Not a v-spec .. but it still has brembo's - lets hope the sale goes through :(

Blitz: good spotting.. it is a lighter than usual blue colour (I think!)

Though I am told by the dealer its 'Nismo Blue' - the car has white nismo gauges + dials, nismo pedals, plus a small, legit looking nismo badge on the opposite side to the GTR badge. The dealer told me he wasnt sure if it came out of the factory as a 'nismo' or if it was just a basic cosmetic mod the original owner did.

Has anyone heard of a nismo spec r34 gtr?

Also, the interior trim looks exactly the same as the interior in a GTR v-spec.. I dont remember the standard trim but is a standard GTR interior seats/trim any different?

Basically all the knowledge I really have of the vehicle is that it arrived in Australia with close to no kilometres in 1999 and has been driven and babied here ever since, and has done about 50,000kms since then on the digital odometer.

For the record, the car drives absolutely perfectly, its in as new condition and is a bargain I couldn't go past.

How much was this " bargain for " ? :wassup:

I am pretty sure i have seen this one years ago - the white 6 spokes ring a bell - I sat in it back in 2000. Was it complied by skyline imports? If it was it would have been probably one of the first 34 GTR's to be complied in Australia....

My bet is that it's been in a huge accident...

Something about the car just doesn't sit right. From the paint, to the wheels, to the dealer spinning stories about a "Nismo" model to explain the different blue colour... Just seems verrrrrrrrry dodgy.

Give us the engine number and chassis number and I'll try and get John @ UAS to look up the details of the car for you.

Pentae - What was the go with this car in the end? Did you purchase or was there issues?

Yeah I got it checked out, it was fine. - it had some previous panel damage on the left side of the car that had been repaired professionally and was unnoticeable without looking under the car.

The only thing wrong with the car was it was resprayed in a non original colour.

Did you get the RACQ report on this car because i rang them up last week about it and they told me it had been checked out by RACQ and every thing was fine they could not fault it ,and i specifically ask them about any damage or if it has been resprayed and they told me no it was nismo blue and it was some rare colour,

never heard of it on an R34 GTR also so noticed the GTR and nissan badges on the boot are in the wrong spot the GTR badge is about 20mm to low and the nissan badge is about 20mm to high this is why i thought it had been in a accident that and the nismo blue but they still insisted it was normal.

They also advertised this car in another car site as a V-spec for $65,000 with different number plates a bit suss.

No I didnt get an RACQ report on the car, I took it to one of the most reputable workshops in brisbane for imports and gtrs. :)

The car has definately had a respray from white; its not nismo blue.

And yes it was complianced through skyline imports.. my mechanic knew the guy who imported in about 4 of them and sprayed them all in this sky blue colour.

The vspec your talking about could be a different car..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
