Hi again y'all

Has anyone ever seen the Vic based white 34gtr with the plates K1NGTR?

Once again, I am currently speaking with the owner regarding the sale of the car. Below is the link:

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/melbourne-cbd/cars-vans-utes/nissan-skyline-gtr-34-vspec-/1090378983

Apparently, the original cluster was replaced with the nismo cluster (owner bought) with 25870 on the clock (kms clearly seen on pic). However the original cluster had 78000km. The owner believes that the car has done around 100000km in total to date.

The car appears to be in pristine condition according to pictures with minor mods...... which is ideal.

In addition, papers will be provided to substantiate the cars authenticity. Just waiting for a copy and will go from there.

Your thoughts on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Pay for Japanese paperwork check from businesses like Japanese Odometer Check

https://www.facebook.com/Japanese.Odometercheck

This will provide u with a auction sheet and de-registration certificate. And of course usual pre- purchase checks.

On the other hand, sesh have prices for bnr34's have soared!!

correction guys, the car has done around 80k on the clock.

The original cluster had 79,878km

The new nismo cluster was put in @ 24,051km. Owner advised that he uses the car for show and has added an 1000km since the day of purchase and new nismo cluster put in.

The car itself is pretty much stock apart from the exhaust and the apexi pods.

I'll definitely pay joc to confirm car status before i go any further with it.

Should i even consider buying this car with a changed cluster?

What are cons if i was to buy it? Will it be a headache if i was to sell the car in the future?

Sure why not? JOC will will confirm kms.

I actually like the nismo white dials

I'm just assuming you're after a near-stock example (not sure if you've mentionned in this thread or the other one what you'll be using it for)

$59k seems a little high but around the $55k mark would be these days prices for such an example provided everything checks out.

maybe a year or two ago it would have been more closer to $50k for a stockish one

Yes, i am looking for a near stock 34. Im not much of a modifier, im more of a cruiser.

Just on the JOC website and it appears that they only report on kms? how about auction sheet?

Km reading means jack all. You could find one with 50,000km and be a total piece of shit and then you could find one with 120,000km and be extremely well maintained.

Any GTR will require money to keep up the maintenance, insurance & registration, modifications etc.

Check out the history by paying the $80 or whatever it is. Then get it inspected by a workshop and a report on the condition or go yourself at the inspection time and have a look at the car. From there you can make your decision before you decide to hand over around $60k.

This car was advertised for 38k earlier this year. It is a rust bucket. i would advise you to not get it as I have looked at this car myself. i found a lot of surface rust underneath and rust in the engine bay where the intercooler is.

It's already begun

At this rate, I can only imagine the rampant profiteering that will be happening to these cars 8/9 years from now

with that guy trying to profit 10k+ for what he purchased it for worst thing is he only purchased it this year.

      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

      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.
