Okay to give you a straight answer. 100k - Original N1 or a fully fully modded gtr(stroked forged bottom, fully built head , basically there is nothing to be done) 90k - original nismo nothing missing all finishers etc 80ķ - all original spec vii. For 60k - full riced(flare kit, upgraded intercooler, stand alone, aftermarket seats, steering wheel, shift knob, coilovers, custom paint, custom steering, fuel cell, 2 fuel pumps, custom wheels volk or work etc, upgraded turbos). I would have a look at that one for 60ķ and pay 50k max, 45k with all 100's in ur pocket or transfer the money online/telebank etc. You dont want to pay top dollar and still have things to do to feel comfortable or stand out. In Trinidad and Tobago a normal legit roadworthy r32 gtr is valued 70-80k if you can get onem a modded one(even rarer) 100k all day. Just food for thought

Interesting. I spoke with one of the guys from heartbeat about a car that they initially said was 4b but once they had sent me the history it turned out to be RA. I have to say they weren't hiding it as they sent me the auction sheet but I feel they told me 4b initially incase I didn't ask for history or to get me interested.

The guy kept telling me it's a 4b car apart from the repair so it's kind of like they give their own ratings haha. Lucky we can check for these things.

Hi, mate i actually bought the white one with Apexi kit you listed above. I was aware of it was 4C instead of 4B prior purchase, and i did use it as my bargain leverage. The car itself presents in a really good condition, we have put it on hoist and checked over, no rust and no dent along the rail, the only thing been replaced is rear bumper bar.  I did question them about the auction grade,  they were like it was a mistake. I think you are right, they put ads with a higher grade just to attract customer and expect them not to question about it. Anyway, im just glad i got a clean car, not sure about other car they sold.

Nice mate, the only reason I didn't buy the white one was because it has the replaced front passenger guard due to the " xx " on the auction sheet and the sales bloke wouldn't let me get a compression test done and full inspection through crd ( which is just down the road ) he said because crd are expensive and extremely thorough and will pick on little things.. which made me think they were dodgy? ( paying at my own expense )

He also said " compression test " could be low due to sitting around in Japan.. which is bull.. 

I hope the car is immaculate though, did it come with all logbooks and paperwork?

I asked him about logbooks he said he couldn't find it and could still be on a boat from Japan..

He told me the same, i told him to write it down in sale of contract, this must included as they committed and advertised, they told me they will chase it down for me. Will see what happens

Hey mate, congrats on the purchase. The car I'm talking about that turned out to be RA was the silver one they were advertising a while ago for $49,000. The white car you bought looked great, I came across it while it was at auction in japan. I wasn't interested due to the single turbo but if you like I can try chase down the photos my importer sent me and I can email them to you. I'm sure it will be nice to have soime auction photos of it.  Pm me your email if you like and ill have a look for them :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
