Hi Guys

First time poster, long time stalker of the forum(always looking for a skyline), a while ago i was on the Japan classified sites and found this reasonably priced R34 https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.global-auto.ne.jp%2Fstock%2Fpublic_stock_detail.php%3Fentry%3D0315.dat%26model%3DBNR34&sandbox=1

I went on gumtree this morning 03:00(night shift, i get bored a lot :yes:)and found this, I chuckled a bit, swore a little, and was thinking of offering him 40k haha http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/guildford/cars-vans-utes/nissan-skyline-r34-v-spec-1999-real-collection-condition-/1081528681

Its exactly the same, photos and all, only thing is the one in OZ has 40,000kms less.

Just wanted to give everybody a heads up.

Ill save the ad and images in case they remove it.

Cheers guys

The car doesn't exist in Australia - i already reported the ad to Gumtree months ago but they have done nothing about it. The dealer in Sydney told me he sold it the night before I went up to his 'showroom'.

He has another in there to sell - which is an awful example, and uses this one as bait.

I originally inquired about this one at Global Auto in Japan, but it was accident damaged and also not that clean once i had an inspection done.

It's such a shame the 'dealers' are ruining the scene - always stick with an import specialist i say!

Enquiry: Hi Rxx,

I'm interested in your "Nissan Skyline R34 V-spec 1999 (Real..." on Gumtree.

I've noticed that your pictures are similar if not the same to that as seen on http://www.global-auto.ne.jp/stock/public_stock_detail.php?entry=0315.dat&model=BNR34

The only noticable difference i can see is the engine and kilometres.

However, in the description, you've stated "NISMO S1 specified (BNR34 genuine turbine)"

My question is, as you haven't stated pictures are for illustration purposes only, is this the same car minus the engine. If so, why are your advertised kilometres lower?

Do you have the de-registration and importation paperwork available?

Many Thanks

Allowing import car yards to also act as compliance shops is what has farked the import market and pricing in Australia over the last 10 years.

This is still very much the case.

And the yards are so arrogant and cheeky - they don't seem to care - making $ is the goal.

Recent example here in Perth - import car yard / compliance shop in Perth northern suburbs (Wangara) - been around long time (wont name).

Advertised a Supra - was moonstone grey, RZ, later model from memory etc. They advertised it as immaculate, low km, etc. Was on Gumtree, etc.

From memory was advertised for 27k - 29k. Now immediately I know some things up. I couldn't buy a genuine low km late model RZ for that in Japan - let alone add the compliance, shipping etc.

Long story short - guy buys it, jumps on Supra forum excited about his new car - gets some advice/opinions and off he goes to get a service.

Up on the hoist - they find chassis rails bent / damaged, panels and underneath covers riveted to bumper / chassis, etc .... basically it was a abortion - damaged repaired.

Forum guys found auction sheets showing it as a "R" vehicle .... you know the rest.

He took the car back - argued a while over the car - but they returned his money on the provision that he didn't tell anyone! Low and behold few weeks later same car back up for sale.

Import your own car - do your research and affiliate yourself with the right people - will always be a better outcome.......

Just my opinion

These places need to be shut down. I guess if we keep finding ads like these, keep posting it and hassle the dealers. Eventually they're not going to have anywhere to hide and they will be screwed. Just like everyone else they've screwed.

Dan that's a pretty brutal story. Lucky they took it back. But then again some people don't have that chance and it's too late to do anything about it.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
