Yeah have seen couple of pics of it and it looks amazing. Have you considered importing? I went thru J-Spec they are really good you just tell em what you want, budget and they start looking only extra fee is 1200 on top of total car price. But a good service

A V-Spec II NUR just went through auction in Japan with 338,000 kms on it, the price? 7,000,000 JPY which is roughly $88,900 AUD!

Get a nice GT-R while you still can...

See my above post, importing is getting expensive now that North America and the Middle East are interested in these cars.

You can probably find a clean car already in the country for less than importing one yourself from Ja-pan.

WTF? man thats crazy, so R35's should start dropping then?

WTF? man thats crazy, so R35's should start dropping then?

R35s have been dropping for a few years now.

There are a few things to remember -

- The R34 was the rarest of the modern GT-Rs, there were significantly less of them made than the R32 and R33.

- The R34 had a few different model varients (like the V-Spec II NUR, N1 and M-Spec) which had reasonable changes over a normal R34 making them more desirable over a normal model than say an R33 GT-R LM is over a normal R33 GT-R.

- Americans are starting to purchase GT-Rs years before they are eligible to import into the USA and storing them meaning demand is greater and whilst supply remains the same, if not smaller. (There are certainly less stock ones going through auction in Japan each passing year).

- As of next year the R35 will be 10 years old and still in production (which I quite frankly think is lazy on Nissan's behalf, we deserve an R36 already)! Nissan hasn't had a production run on a GT-R even close to 10 years, ever. Couple that with the fact that the R35 was an international release (available in places brand new like the USA and Australia) where as the R34 was Japan only. There are a bucket load more 35s than 34s out there which means they are easier than ever to get your hands on one forcing market pricing down rather than up like the R34.

Haha :P

I've now been around the scene long enough and know enough people to know what's going on, but it's all common sense really.

As awesome and fast as an R35 would be, I'd take a nice R34 every day of the week. IMO they are the best looking Skyline/GT-R and will always have that bedroom poster/hero status. I think the smile factor of driving an RB powered R34 GT-R is where its at.

And here I thought you only knew about shoes ;)

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
