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

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
