Time to import one dan

[No Crust Racing]

I'm looking...

[Hadouken]

R33 guy is dreaming.

Have you contacted iron chef?

[No Crust Racing]

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.

[No Crust Racing]

Saw that on carsales. 30k is not a bad price but you've got to wonder why it did a headgasket...

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?

[10 4]

Cause we're awesome?
Idk tbh. There's also bulk R32s here... We love our GTRs?

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?

[No Crust Racing]

In two mind honestly.

Troy (iron chef) showed me a nice example (modified) but it was 80k+ landed...

[okooko]

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

[Hadouken]

Probably millennium jade

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

[Hadouken]

Think Nike.

If you want a good buy then you have to take the bad with the good

[No Crust Racing]

Think Nike?

[Ben C34]

Sort of retarded way of saying just do it.

[okooko]

I guess being a VS2 gives it a slight premium.
