There was an article from a Japanese history facebook page about that car being a R grade with wound back km's. Had 150,000 years ago. I saw the post about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Japan car history check is the page. How much are you expecting to pay for a 34 via the auctions at the moment?

If anyone buys a car from that mob, do a background check on the car. They have already had problems regarding winding the clocks back. I thought Edward Lees was closed down ??

Among other things I was told my car had 17,000klm on it , I said maybe for each wheel combined but the car was in good condition and the price was right.

Just be careful

Heard about that today. Hopefully seller knows

The seller knew part of the story I believe but didn't wish to investigate the rest.

I received another offer on my 34R as well as two on the 32R, discussed during the GT-R FESTIVAL. No-one on the 33R.

Hmmm...

Hey Terry, long time!

Walked around your 3 GTR's at the festival mate. Immaculate! Congrats on the Trophy.

Still looking guys, it's so hard out there. FYI, not for me, it's for a mate of mine. :D

Were the offers substantial enough to make you stop and think, should I :/

With the 34R, there was a definite figure thrown at me. It was quite reasonable for the year 2017 and equivalent to what the Chinese have been prepared to pay in order to get this type of car initially through HK.

With the 32R, the two offers were not in dollar terms - only that these two guys be contacted should the car come up f/s.

Well there we have it! What goes on at a Festival!

Which 32R was yours at the festival? 

Is it currently for sale?

Well I have just been through it but I am not an expert.

For a base R34 GTR with over 4 grading and less than 60000km that ticked all the Ironchef checks the starting price was around 85k landed and complied. Mind you with the current exchange rate 89Yen to 1AUD this is closer to 80k. So it might of paid off to wait. However in the 2 months that I was looking only 1 car came up that ticked all the boxes so all things considered I was happy with the end result.

I am unsure about any other variations but obviously Vspecs or any other variation are more. 

Generally more kms or grading 3.5 and so forth are less. There was lots of things that the Ironchef guys looked at like smokers car, rust etc and I was advised against cars with too many mods. I wanted a stock car anyhow as I think these will do better over time.

The similar ones I saw on carsales from dealers are around the 95k mark (and none of these have less than 60000 kms) so I think a 75 to 85k price is about right.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
