I believe he has paper work etc.

So are you saying a new boot lock is all that's needed? That doesn't seem too bad at all. Thanks for that.

It's currently making a bit less as he has the silent exhaust on it, 411hp, around 310 on 18psi.

He's going to put the Tomei back on and have it dyno'd/checked/retuned at 20psi.

Power seems about right on 98 octane. I have no e85 from the pump here so 98 is fine for me.

I believe so, check out the above link. I know you can rekey the ignition to match the existing key, but wasn't sure about the rest of the car.

Yeah I assumed 20psi and checked with the dyno thread, there was one with -5's and similar mods pulling 350 at 20psi.

Get some more photos when you view the car, would be good to see how you follow this one through - daresay if you end up buying this one, i trust that there will be a projects thread?

No actually, I'm not looking for a big project/build. This will be a weekend/once a month car and the occasional track day to experience it at full noise safely (will add oil cooler).

I have a build thread for my track car over on NS which gets flogged a lot harder than this will.

Haven't had any response from Jap History check yet, only the auto email to say we'll do a preliminary check and come back to you.

I'll be on Holiday from the 18th and will be within 4.5hrs drive of the cars location during that trip so I'm contemplating driving up on one of the days to see the car rather than waiting til early October and having to fly.

I also received this, I'm awaiting more info on proof of parts used (pistons bearings etc).

They do a preliminary check to make sure they can source enough information before they carry out the check.

They do this because some history of cars dating back a certain year is not available and they can't always find everything.

So instead of charging you to find nothing they check first before billing you I guess.

You just need to be patient. Overall probably took 1 week roughly to get all the documentation I needed from initial request.

Got a reply from jap history and paid (got a 10 discount lol).

Preliminary details show car leaving in 2008 from HAA Kobe.

Pretty sure he said he bought it in 2011 but has all the paperwork - dereg etc so will be interesting to see if it matches.

Also confirmed rb30 short motor included. Spool parts apparently, he's finding receipts but said he still has the boxes for pistons etc.

Will add some more photos he sent me tomorrow for you guys to critique, including undercarriage.

the history check will confirm the kms but as far as imports go you really have to judge the car on its merits regardless of kms.

if the respray and engine set up dont bother you, id be interested in ensuring the car is straight/accident free.

you have the remeber the sort of car you are buying. its a sports car that was built to be murdered on the street and track. its not going to be perfect.

it comes down to preference. buying a modded car is cheaper from the get go but personally id prefer to purchase an honest original car and tidy it up.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
