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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
