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?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
