Hey guys,

Just picked up a 1999 BNR34 V-Spec last week after many months of searching for the right one. Approx 120,000kms and the only mods are HKS exhaust, TE37SLs, Nismo cluster, Nismo S-Tune skirts, suspension and LED tail lights. As you can see it was female-owned, going to have to change the plates and pink bits lol

Ironically, I wanted a mechanically stock car for "reliability" for the time being as this will be my only car. But of course a few days after I bought it, it starts playing up on the commute home :rofl2:

Previous owner did tell me that the AFMs were on their way out and that the car would intermittently play up on her too. Rough idle, doesn't rev past 3,000rpms and doesn't boost. Sounds like a boxer and I have a feeling it might be running on fewer than 6 cylinders :glare:

Looks like new AFMs, coilpacks and maybe even O2 sensors might be needed. I have a lot to learn about the car and this is great start to my GT-R ownership journey!

Osman, that looks incredible!

Welcome to the forums! Are you planning on keeping a build thread?

Thanks PranK! I'll definitely be starting one once I've ironed out the small issues and actually start to build it. However, I've been thinking of keeping it stock and original, but we'll see how long that lasts :tongue:

Theres tonnes of people on here that had that exact intention .... Very few of them actually last.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
