Does any one know anything about the R34 GTR M spec that is Currently available on gumtree?

I'm interest in it and want to check it out soon, but I just want to know if anyone here knows about the history? The km looks very low, everything is factory beside ECU and suspension? To me that just a bit unusual, without any other upgrade,I will rather leave the ecu and suspension with factory item

I went to have a closer look at this car on the weekend. where do i start. in short this car's condition DOESNT reflect the km's travelled. its showing its age and is more worn. just a few things i spotted were:

- paint isnt in the best condition, looks like its spent alot of time in the aussie sun, for example the rear wing blade is faded and starting to chip

- missing front diffuser, i didnt ask if it was just removed and stored away or not, but i assume its missing

- its riding on coilovers (bilsteins) so it doesnt have its m-spec special shock absorbers anymore

- the leather interior is worn, lots of cracks and drivers seat particularly worn

- front bar left hand side looks like brake fluid may have spilt over it?? there is a stain there

- steering wheel is much more worn out in appearance for its km (my steering wheel has done nearly double the km's but much less worn in appearance

- car doesnt have factory floor mats, the floor mats appear to be one of those ebay made ones(i could be wrong here, might be nismo??)

- the car is in that yard on consignment

- as i was just tyre kicking out of curiosity i didnt open the bonnet so cant comment on engine

sorry its very late, and thats all i can think of at the moment. My honest opinion is that while not necessarily a bad car per se i wouldnt be paying anywhere near the asking price, it needs quite a bit of tlc but for the right money it could still be a worthwhile buy. Fabcar are just down the road for a third party inspection recommendation. Good luck :)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
