I'm looking at buying an r34 gtt 4 door, I have found on an importers site a 2000 gtt auto 4door with 118 000 klms on it. The price they sold it for was about 23K on the road. Would anyone be wary of buying an import with that many ks on it, or would it not be a problem. The price seems very cheap for a car of that age to, would this be because of the high ks (for its age). Does anyone know what price they normally sell for? also has anyone seen many manual 4 doors around or are they rare? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to suss it out!

At least they are being honest for once. 95% of the cars that come from there are wound back so just check for wear on the gearstick, handbrake and seats and you should be right.

Manual 4 doors are a fair bit rarer than autos but they do exist.

As previously stated, don't worry about the km's, look at the car's general condition and for wear. That car has only done about 23000km per year which is the usual average in Australia, i don't beleive all people live in the city districts of Japan.

Price is damn good!

I bought my car with 28000 odd ks when I bought it 18 months ago.

It now has almost 70000.

Not a single problem with it.

At the end of the day, if you can get it cheap, you can spend any money saved if you need to on a big general service and replace everything.

Mine is 5 speed.

FMIC, PowerFC, EBC (11psi flat), Front pipe, Cat, big exhaust.

I haven't got that button. I'd say it wouldn't make that much of a difference.

There is still another muffler in the middle of the exhaust that would be restrictive.

Apparently the actuators in the Nismo Sports Muffler seizes all the time, and you need to squirt it with WD40 all the time.

Would be nice also to make it open at certain RPM or boost levels. See Autospeed for something like that.

Good to here about the cars longevity Dan might be keeping mine as a family car for a few years. Hoping those front doors will be more practical in car parks etc those coupe doors can be a bitch. Pity they didnt make the rear seat fold down since they moved the battery back under the bonnet.

The sedan got the ski-port though didn't? The coupe has no access to the boot whatsoever from inside...but it does make for some good sounds from the sub as you don't get any high frequency rattles inside the cabin :P

mine had the service stickers from the mechanics inside the doors and the dates and kms matched good. I think they are pretty strick with km winding now as they often knock them back from the auction yard if they think they have been fiddled with

i duno

my thorts are its probly got to many km's on it for a 2000model from japan

and thers no proof to say their genuine either - it might have done more....

Personally i wouldn't buy a car over 100,000ks but some say that all the minor kinks in the car have been figured out by then.

i am also looking to buy a R34 1998 ive seen a few and mostly they have been around the 25-30,000 km range.. they have been the tiptronic models i haven't seen what the ks are for manuals..

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
