Well the major rust spot to look out for are around the front suspension towers,under the passenger and drivers mirrors,on the inside of the doors along the bottom edge,in and around the fuel neck/filler and around the boot seal. I also like to stick my head underneath the car to see if it has any major scrapes on the under the body or crash damage ie clamp marks on the seal panels,bent front reo ,creases in the skirts. Also lift the spair wheel cover up have a look at the beaver panel make sure the sealer looks original or it could also be a sign of crash damage. 1 last thing have a look inside the engine (take of the oil cap) and see if its clean or really black and dirty this will give u an indicator if the engin has been serviced regally or not also checking the dip stick for oil burn does the same sort of thing good luck with the Purchase

many many thanks to R33huntme

no worries something else to look at, the wear on the steering wheel Especially on the right side were u hang on and dents/wear marks on the drivers floor/Matt it's a tell tail sign of the kms the more were and tear the more kms it should have (u never can tell if the kms have been played with at least this will help

White C34 sitting on Main Street, Greensborough waiting to turn right up St Helena Road yesterday around midday.

I was in the yellow Stag which turned out of St Helena and went up Diamond Creek Road.

Another white stag, different to the one yesterday I think (the one yesterday had roof racks).

This time I passed it on the Greensborough Highway near the Civic Drive roundabout. I gave a toot and thumbs up on the way past (was on the red/white R1).

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
