Ian Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have decided to sell my R34. I am selling it because I fancy a R35 This car was imported for me last year by JM-Imports & I am the first UK owner. Upon entry to the UK it was undersealed & also had a Cat1 Cobra alarm & immobilizer fitted. The car is currently showing 54700 miles but as this is a Nismo item I am not sure of the exact mileage. There is some service history that came with the car & is showing services up to around 100K KM. Since owning the car I have run it always on either Shell V-Power or Tesco 99 fuel. I have always warmed the car up & cooled it down on every use. I have never raced or tracked this car. It has a MOT until June 2013 & is taxed until March 2013. In August 2011 the passenger side rear wheel bearing was replaced. In September 2011 I had the car serviced by RSP. During this service I also had the timing belt changed. The oil & filter was changed again last week at 360 Motorsport. I have carried out a few select modifications to this car since owning it. Its running pretty much stock power & has no silly body kits. Modifications * Carbon fibre V-Spec style front lip & diffuser * Xenon headlights * Nismo smoked front & side repeaters * 19" Varrstoen ES 2.2.2 (19*9.5 +12) Wheels finished in Midnight Purple (265/35/19 Yokohama Advan V103 tyres fitted around 500 miles ago) * Purple Muteki wheel nuts * HSD Coilovers * Cusco Rear Camber Arms * Cusco carbon fibre strut brace * Attain Hicas Lock Out Bar * HKS Type 0 Turbo Timer * Pioneer F900BT headunit with reversing camera * Mac Audio speakers fitted in front & rear * White Nismo 320KMH dials * Illuminated key barrel * HKS White Gear Knob * Nismo Floor Mats * V-Spec aluminum pedals & foot rest * Carbon Superior Seat Covers (Drivers seat has a bit of wear) * Alcantara Gear & handbrake Gaitors * ARC Radiator & Oil Caps * Zealou5 Titanium bonnet stay * ARC Oil catch can/washer tank - Can has had 2 AN ports welded on to it in order to run braided hoses direct to the rocker covers. * Rocker Covers have been painted in House of Kolor Wild Cherry with a HKS engine plaque & had 2 -10 AN ports welded in place. * HKS SPF kit with new purple filters fitted around 500 Miles ago * KTS Intercooler hard pipe kit - The top pipe has now been replaced with a HKS item * HKS SSQV 3 with hardpipe * Baffled & polished TT pipe * Polished plenum * Polished rear turbo pipe * Apexi Downpipes * New Era decat pipe - has an additional bung welded in to run a wideband gauge. * Tomei titanium exhaust Maintenance * Plenum & turbos have had new gaskets fitted * Rocker covers have had new seals fitted * CAS had new gasket & washers fitted * New battery fitted in June 2012 * MFD screen was replaced last year after developing the 3 white line fault Bad points * There is a small patch of rust around the boot brake light * There is a bit of touch up paint applied to the boot after removing the GTR badge * Drivers seat has a bit of wear * Oil pressure gauge has stopped working since last service - Traced to a faulty sender & will be replaced next month. This car drives perfectly. Both turbos are working well & have very little play in them. Engine pulls very strongly & makes no knocking noises or any other strange noises.

Bockaaarck Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Fair play Ian, I know you've wanted an R35 for a while. This R34 of yours is cracking mate, I can't imagine you'll have too many issues finding a buyer who appreciates it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks Struan TBH I'm not that bothered about selling it Even if it does sell its gonna be a year before I get into a R35. Gonna sort out moving house first & get settled in & then get either a R35 or maybe even another R34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 GLWTS Ian - although I agree with Chris - if I had had a garage I would've sorned Saffy rather than sold her - at least then you're not tempted to keep spending money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that if it was sorned that within weeks the engine would be out and getting rebuilt ready for summer I have no will power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris AME Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I had to chose between a house and an r34, I put most of the money down on house deposit and bought my zed instead. Maybe in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Car has now had a new oil pressure sender fitted & has good pressure at warm idle, cold idle & under boost (will get a video of it once I get it back). Rear GTR badge has also been refitted. I can put some stock parts back onto the car if anyone wanted to negotiate on the price. I may also take a cheap UK 350Z in part Ex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWTech Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 man, i wish i got one of these a few years ago, i had the chance when they were still consistantly coming in at under 20k. would have been the only car I could say is an investment!!! lovely car, best of luck with the sale mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Defo an investment this car!! Won't lose money, very sought after. I've heard there's only around a 100 genuine R34 GTRs in this country. One of my fav cars of all time.... I almost don't want to own it because I hold it in such high regard. I don't think I could afford to own one of these at the moment.
