id see it dropping the value 9 times out of 10. as most people would be wary why it was painted, accident history, no longer original etc etc

Even if there was full pics of before, during, and after?

Honestly its because i dont trust people so maybe its just me....

I wouldnt have bought my GTR had i not been able to talk to boostworks who did the work on the car and go through step by step what had been done and how the rebuild went etc... i wouldnt have taken the sellers word for it even with reciepts etc. but again could just be me....

Talking to the owner of the white one.

Anyway I can verify it's been rebuilt? He has no receipts and claims it was built by the previous owner. Any way of telling of the water pump and oil pump are N1? Can a bore-scope tell the pistons are N1 by looking at them?

I can vouch for Adam's white 33R, whilst I don't know Adam personally, I've been a Boostworx customer for over 10 years and have seen it over the years as well as around a month ago, it's an excellent example. If I had the cash I'd buy it!

drop Shaun an email or give him a call if you need further verification, I'm sure he'd happily answer any questions

Respray is ok if its the original colour not a colour change for maintaining value, obviously mint orignal paint is worth the most. Run a micrometer over the car to check fhe thickness of the paint to determine if it has been a quality bare metal respray or has been rubbed back and painted over the original paint, or has been painted 3 or 4 times.

Ive seen a few go for high 30's recently inlcuding the pne drag on silvia used to own a bb 99 vspec, and the white one also a 99 vspec thats in the for sale section of this forum.

Maybe when the r36 drops next year oe the year after it will push 35 prices down and also 34 prices.

I dont have a problem paying 50k for a nice clean example id just want to make sure it is non accident genuine kms etc

How much was the rough estimate for a full spray?

I honestly don't see the problem. All the street machines / show cars are resprayed, so why not a skyline?

If it's quality, it will show.

I had a respray done due to clear peeling.

Car was already another colour.

Changed it again.

Didn't do it the same colour.

Painted the colour I wanted.

If you want to paint it, do it for you.

If you're already thinking about impact on resale, possibly the car isn't for you?

I've had both Gtr's, all depends on what you want to use it for?

daily or weekend warrior?

I was in the same boat but with the r35 or r34 i choose r34 as i wanted a weekend warrior.

If it was for a daily, hands down r35.

but there's something about the r34 that gives it abit more street creed over the rest...

I mite be wrong but maybe Fast n Furious had something to do with this.

    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
