Yep we've been chatting for a bit.

He's given me a login to watch the auctions but obviously I'll get better results committing and giving him the finders fee.

I have a really hard time doing that knowing I can't inspect or drive the car.

Pass on that purple 33 imo.

There's a cheap white one for sale in WA. Light interior though.
Info is a bit slack but I'll copy paste for you as its only advertised on Facebook.

R34 GTR V-spec
$55,000

1999 vspec
Z tune front end.
Built engine. Still twin turbo.
515hp tuned by Fabcar
97xxxkm's

Pm for more info.

Nice car, but prefer something that is Silver o Bayside with dark interior.

I can get away without the interior as that's easy to swap in, external colour is another matter.

WA is miles away too =\ Why is there so many 34s there?

OK update time.

Gun metal R34 guy called to say he's been pulling the front end down a little and can see signs of inner guard repair due to new seam sealer but said an inner guard only goes from radiator to strut on the GTR not the firewall.

Said he and the panel beater are happy with how it was done (he's a mechanical engineer) and that I'm welcome to inspect and photograph myself.

He said the same for radiator support but he couldn't spot any signs of removal for the cross member but did notice the lower radiator support was also replaced (whatever that's called).

He said he's less concerned after inspecting but thanked me for alerting him.

He also noted that the auction report he was shown displayed an auction grade 4, so bs.

Good to see select owners going that extra step, as it's likely news to them as well.

I'm a mech engineer to but I wouldn't know a thing about that haha - best to leave it to experts if you decide to pursue this one further.

Safe to say this one's still on the books for you?

It better be a shade of MNP or some Omori Factory treatment for that much. Or at least notably better than any local AUS example in that price range, to even consider.

Reminds me of a R32 GTR Iron Chef posted with an S1, R35 Brembos, R34 6sp transmission - arguably one of the best I've seen, around the $80k mark as well

Nope it was just a low k's vs2 in Ws2 and with mostly Tomei gear. Still standard bottom end but the full list of bolt ons and including things like endless frotlnt calipers.

Clearly a track car.

That's part of my issue is that 34s like the first one don't seem that common for the money (Inc all spares etc)

I could just play hardball and offer less, want all spares (as he talked about keeping the power fc) and if he says no, then so be it.

that requires a comittment of a days driving to inspect it though and the knowledge that I'll need a build sooner than I might otherwise due to k's

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
