If this were my car, i would pay to have my japanese history found and sent to me. (Auction slip wh where applicable and De-Reg Cert). This will give you piece of mind and proof that the car is as you know it to be. A $200 investment would be well worth your time here.

*There's a couple of threads on this, i know because i asked how it can be done.

Cars imported pre-2004 have bugger-all documentation available- trust me, I've tried everything- this I believe was before that time

Ah my bad there... maybe track down the importer/compliancer? I managed it for a 33GTR i was looking to buy earlier this year. The gentlemen was pretty unhelpful, but maybe you'll have better luck.

If the company still exists - they seem to disappear and re appear with new names. Can't seem to trust kms on most cars - im just going on condition these days

Digging up an old thread.

This is my car now... well my wife's. Two pre-purchase inspections later and long talk with my mechanic. Can confirm the kms are legit and car is in pristine condition. :)

Congrats on the purchase. Very clean and super low mileage. 

Are you able to share the circa price? Can PM if you prefer. 

I'm always a bit curious on how our Skyline's are going in terms of value.

Paid exactly what i recommended two years ago. 70k. emoji16.pngemoji7.png

 

 

My R33 GTR has around 27K and I wouldn't settle for anything less than $60K so I think your price is very fair.

Well done @Steve85!! 

Please post up some fresh pics. Maybe in a build thread?

 

Yes, i think so. Although to be honest, zero mods will be taking place. But i'm sure everyone would be keen to see a stock R33 GTR. :D

Yep. I thought it was a good deal. This car is amazingly clean, no dints, no rust, no modifications. It's exactly how the factory built it (almost, more to come on that).

Awesome. I have a feeling it won’t remain stock for long! ?

Not at all. The plan is specifically to keep it stock. [emoji16]
I've got the LM which has zero stock components so no need really.
bubble wrap it, it'll be $100k in a few years
Sort of the plan. We'll see how it goes, bur intend on keeping it clean and modification free. There can't be many left in that state. [emoji16]

Ah fair enough.

call me nuts but my R34 GTR is stock except for wheels and I love it as is. There’s something about the factory stock tune that is an experience in itself!

With hi performance cars, stock is best. All the research and development is done for you. I had a Charger built to standard E49 specs and the thing idled off the key  without using choke and purred all day and no overheating problems. There may have been faster cars, but they were cops to drive.

Maybe don't read about my LM then... lol 
This car and that one are opposite ends of the GTR spectrum *(well, it was before 1000hp was the new norm).

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
