ARGHH!! Bayside Blue GT-T!! take it away! i don't want to look at one now that i've bought my black one :P You're taunting me aren't you Dale! :)

1. - CAN'T BE FACTORY TV2 - Not made until 2000. So it's a respray. And something about those rims and there shitty-ness and thin-ness makes me think it might not be turbo, although you'd have to have some balls to advertise a non-turbo as a turbo.

Car has been resprayed, although doesn't say so, already off to a very dodgy footing, don't go near it.

cheers.

Took you long enought to spot it Chinny!!! Its an auto anyways. It's a pretty good respray [if it is] by the looks of it.

MY original post [that never got airing] said something about R34's not having Blue until 2000 / series II rolled out [rb25 variants].

I also mentioned something about him advertising it as a GTT and 6 Cylinder turbo - and that it would be funny if it didnt have one - ****in damn server crashes...:(

Everything you said - I had already spent 15 minutes typing, pretty much, [did you see my post?] though I don't agree about the tyres being skinny - maybe a test drive is in order??? :D

End :P

just wondering , what is wrong with the blue R34?? i mean it looks like a turbo i mean it has got the gt-t on the back right of the car below the lights where it usually is.........i mean it has gotta be one......

it is weird though why would he be selling it for 33.5k with only 30kilos done on the car......is any1 gonna check it out for serious??

paulr33 - we tested the black gtt auto that is listed at the start of the thread - not the blue 34 pictured above!

SliM - the GTV non turbo has similar stickers on the RR

I dont think the market is very strong atm for people selling imports [imo] - he could have dropped the price due to long time not being able to sell, there's all sorts of reasons, how many 34's are selling for mid-high 30's these days? Actually SELLING for not listed prices!!! The first batch are 6+ years old now too remember!

It definitely looks like a GTT. Aside from the badging, it also has the side vent on the front bumper for the tiny intercooler ;), and looking closely at the dash, it appears to have the three centre guages that you only get on the GTT...:)

But, bayside blue wasn't an option on the R34's until AFTER the GT-V (my car) came out in MY2000 - so if that car is older than that, it is likely a respray. Quick look at the VIN plate for color code TV2 will sort that out....

for reference, my car, R34 GT-V (RB25DE) Note absence of vent on bumper.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
