Really clean....needs a new steering wheel, as the leather/vinyl has started to come away..

Otherwise - seems true to the kays -and has been with the same owner for 11 yrs and 60000kms..

The plenum still has all its paint..

Couple of rust patches - one under the spare, and one on each side of the front window sill, but appears to be surface only - and I'll get treated straight away.

Only variation from stock - cruise control...!! driven by old blokes..!!

Very beautiful car mate!

Are you planning on keeping her stock or start the process of upgrades??

At this stage - I'll leave it be.

It has a button clutch in it at the moment, which I'm not sure I want to live with - as I have a very steep driveway at home.

I think I'll keep it as an investment - see what the values do as it approaches 25yrs - I don't reckon there would be many stock ones around.

I'll still drive it though - but mostly for coffee runs up the mountains around here.

Its a lot of money for me - so the idea of thrashing it on a track doesn't necessarily appeal either.

Yes, it's very tempting to start making little mods here and there, but it's a bottomless pit once you start! Ive done and am doing a few to my R33 GTS-T, however, to be honest if I had a GTR I wouldn't touch the motor/turbo etc. They came from the factory w/ more then enough for your average driver and ability to use on public roads.

I would have to upgrade the alloys though to at least 18" and after market springs - just so the wheels fill out the arches!

Enjoy your machine mate :)

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
