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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
