not sure if they passed it as is but i saw it on the street with bc plates and it looks exactly the way it did in the picture

just because its the same after an inspection dosent mean they didnt get the inspection right.

ive seen accord headlights jammed into r32's to pass an inspection and after they(owner) revert to oem.

ive dealt with mf tech for about 5 years. we do what needs to make the car safe and legal.

^ I know R34 GT-R is pretty cool but $62,000 with 71,000kms kinda seems outrageous for a 15 year old car.

You could buy a Ferrari 360 Modena for that price.

Drove out to BC last week and helped my friend with picking up his '99 V.spec, she cleans up really nice after a good wash and detail.

how did it do in inspection?

i have a colleague who bought a gt-t that failed the gov't inspection very badly because the strut tower tops were rusted through and someone had did a bondo/paint/undercoat job to hide it :(

Perfectly fine, just had to wire some temporary DRL's haha. The inspector also was questioning why the other reverse light didn't work. :lawl:

E-SPEC 08-09-2014 11:49 AM

The white one doesn't even look that nice! 62 k??

Timpo 08-09-2014 12:03 PM

That GT-R from Alberta is nice.

Too bad how 15 year old cars are more attractive than current cars like 370Z and FRS.

Back in 1999(the year of that GT-R), 15 year old car was 1984...and there's no way 1984 cars were more attractive than brand new 1999 cars.

it has been to the thursday meets, and those who have seen it say it is a very clean car. it has a clean auction sheet and the mileage is legit as well according to the SAU website because an importer posted all the info before it sold and came here.

what is unfortunate is the price, as it is being sold on consignment by that dealer who placed the ad :(

for just a few $k more you could get this instead (which was also at the thurs meets):
