Hey guys,


Posted this in for sale thread but decided to make a topic for it instead, maybe to see if anyone has been in a similar position and has some advice.


might be looking to sell my R34 GT-T 2001 :(


The car has been in a very minor crash at a set of lights, had it looked over by a couple repair places and they have said that the structural parts of the car are 100% fine but it will need a new bonnet due to it being a bit bent and the headlights have small cracks on top where the plastic brakets holding them on snapped.


The car needs to go over registration at the end of the month, and I may be moving so not sure if it worth me repairing it and the rest just to maybe not really need it in Melbourne.


The car is mechanically great, and also is almost completely stock so would be a great starting point for someone wanting to build something amazing!


I really don't want to sell it, I payed $14,000 for it last year, but I also think it would be best with someone who could apprecaite it more.


I'd much rather sell it on here to someone who I know will take good care of it, and I don't really know how much it would be worth as I've heard offers from $1000 all the way up $7000.


I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in buying it or swapping for something more suited for what I need, like a Subaru Liberty or something.


Thanks guys, if you would like photos or have any advice please feel free to message me!


Also in case you were wondering I didn't have comprehensive so my insurance wouldn't cover my car, only reason can't get it repaired as I was the one repsonsible.


If anyone has an experience in this would be greatly appreciated, I got quoted if I brought in a new bonnet, headlights and maaaybe reo bar just to be safe they could install and line everything up back together for a few hundred.

You would be better off fixing then selling... There's probably about 1500 worth of secondhand parts, paint and labour in there. Would be cheaper if you can find parts in that colour but its not very common

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
