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?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
