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.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
