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..

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
