Following the wise words of Obi Won Kenobi: "Use the force Luke..."

Doesn't matter what everyone here says, in the end the car is yours and so is the decision. What everyone is saying is quite valid, but only you would be able to know for sure. Just be wary of the "holiday" thing; question it and don't commit to anything until you're satisfied with the answers...

Just a quick update...i went down to see the car again today to check it more thoroughly, and it looks like i may get it. I looked for any of the problems listed but i couldnt find anything obvious.

As to the crap steering wheel, apparently the one on the car now was just an old one put on for compliance as the car had an aftermarket wheel originally, so when i get the car they will put back the aftermarket or put a brand new factory wheel on, which i was happy about.

There is also some slight water marks on the drivers seat because the window was left open on the boat and water got into the car, but i am assured that the car is being steam cleaned and it will remove all of it. The minor body scratches will be removed in the cut/polish all except for the one on the boot, which isnt totally removable.

All in all, for the price, i think its a good deal. I am gonna sell my car for 15-18k hopefully, so thats pretty much half of the total price so im not really paying 35k, which is the main plus point that validates all this in my conscience lol. Thanx for all the input guys i really appreciate it and ill update u guys when i know more.

what kind of 33 do you have? i'm in the market for 1...so PM me with some details

Also, i tried to get them down under 35k but theyre not budging, mainly coz of the colour of the car, which apparently is extremely rare. Its a dark blue with a reddish purple pearl. Its in fact a factory colour so i was amazed. ive never seen one that colour before, i thought it was a spray job. Either way, the colour is beautiful and that was the main selling point for me

If you are sure it hasn't been repainted, then they are correct, it is a rare factory colour, but i always thought it only came out on R34 GTR's.

No im sure its a factory job...the guy showed me the Japanese R34 Nissan brochures...(very nice btw, wish i could get one of them) and for the GTT its one of the factory colours..i originally wanted bayside blue as ive seen some GTT's with that but i was told it was GTR only, but ive since learned that a small amount of GTT's were made in bayside blue. Still this dark blue/purple is pretty nice.

also, since ill prob be getting this car, can u guys give me some info on some skyline specialists that would do on site inspections of this car? any info would be greatly appreciate.

I want someone who knows skylines to do a workover of the car. i dont think theres anything wrong with it, but i just want to make sure

dark blue with reddish pearl? we're not talking midnight purple III here are we?? that's a GTR only colour as far as i know. I thought i've learnt pretty much all there is to know about GT-T, series 1 and 2. What year is it? If it's series 1. i HIGHLY doubt it's a factory colour. I've got series 2 brochures and it's certainly not there and i've never in my life seen the colour you're talking about. Here or at the auctions when i bought mine.

Did you get a paint code, ie TV2 = Bayside Blue...

holiday is a new one, never heard of that before...

what colour is the engine bay?

i swear dark blue with reddish/purple pearl is not a factory colour

Paint code = LXO

Don't think there is too much variation for GT-T.

BNR34

TV2 - Bayside Blue

QM1 - White

KR4 - Sonic Silver

KV2 - Athlete Silver

GV1 - Black Pearl

AR2 - Active Red

EV1 - Lightning Yellow

LV4 - Midnight Purple II

LX0 - Midnight Purple III

WV2 - Sparkling Silver

QX1 - White Pearl

EY0 - Silica Breath

JW0 - Millennium Jade

The engine bay was the same colour as the car too, otherwise i wouldve assumed it was a respray.

the pearl u cant really see as the car needs a cut and polish but when its done and the sun is on the car itll be visible.

I have seen this colour actually once, in a sold auction on prestige motorsports site, so its not a one off i dont think either, but i know for a fact its not midnight purple

anyone know any "skyline specialists" who can do onsites? as well as offsite inspections?

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
