opps wrong acusations! to answer some of your questions, easiest way to see if there has been any crash/panel works is to look really carefully at the paint on each and every panel.

Run your fingers over and see how smooth it is. The original paint has little rigit over it but if you see any panel with REALLY smooth paint, then it had been resprayed..

@akeenan: Wanna swap? :)

well obviously he's a car sales person and he wants to get rid of it..they are not gonna say its been smashed and in crap quality.. they will try their best to promote the car for the sale (Keep that in mind).. The dandenong place i was talking about said the same thing, but when looked carefully it had been in an accident..

Get a RACV check as some suggested..will cost you $210 but you have to take the car to their nearest Caryard as they will not come and look at it because it is an import. Take the car for 4-5 hours leave it with them and they will give you a report and gradings on the whole car. Its worth it.

hehe im stresed about the engine, i am commited now i cannot back out i have put a $2k deposit on it, from what i tested it seemed fine to me but there are things i wouldnt be able to pick out like a mechanic would, ill just get it tesated when ni get it and fix anything needed, if its real bad ill go and bash the guy :)

this isnt really off the topic but i'll tell anyhow. I was just at chadstone skateboarding and there were heaps of cops everywhere. to cut a long story short a cop came over and started asking me the usual questions anyhow he finally said did you drive here tonite and i said yes and he goes which is your car and i gave a very vague point towards my skyline and he says oh ok thats fine! and they drove off.

anyways he said it was auction grade 5,

As akeenan started to say, it is not possible that it was Grade 5. Only showroom condition - brand new cars are rated as 5. You probably are getting a nice example but definately not 5. The guy is talking crap there. Ask any reputable importer here for a run down on the gradings. Geoff @ PrestigeMotorsport has it listed on his site!

Grade 4.5 is like one or two tiny blemishes that will rub out.

FYI: I have got a 1998 build r34 gtt that was rated as a 4 with a couple of minor scratches but barely noticeable.

oops, just read the last couple of posts...

how long have grades 6 > 9 been around? Never heard of those before! No i am not a newbie either.

What is your source for this info alexR33?? just curious

that price includes 1 year registration freshly done in my name when i purchase the vehicle

If it had never been registered in Oz before then you would have to get 12 months reg as a minimum anyway. But its good that the seller "appears" to be paying for this though!

Not sure about grading 6 > 9. But from 1 - 5 is the rating the car was imported from Jap.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
