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 :)

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
