That truck is probably like 15k, trailers probably another 15k, assorted random parts that'll prolly come with the car 5K? Random ish: 2k.

So, 43k for a race prepped gtr? Cool

3seriesBeeM · 02-06-2010, 11:58 AM

thats a pretty good deal considering the nur r34 was something like 180 grand

billboa · 02-06-2010, 12:08 PM

Ive heard the car comes with two 6 speed hks dogbox trannies that are worth almost 10gs a piece.

GabAlmighty · 02-06-2010, 12:11 PM

I would say the sale depends a fair amount on the "extras" you would get with the purchase..

hk20000 · 02-06-2010, 07:26 PM

.....it's an R34 GT-t then it's only like 370Z priced when new... not Nur spec by any stretch.

SumAznGuy · 02-06-2010, 08:52 PM

Truck is probably worth around $15K. Newer ones like 2002 and newer are still over $20K used.
That trailer is worth quite a bit since it is a 48 ft'er. That is long enough to hold 2 cars. A quick search online are showing used 32 ft trailers +$20K so this one is worth more than that since it is a 48 ft'er.

Sounds like a pretty good deal for this whole package if there are a lot of extra's included. My only concern is the crap cusco cage.

That's Cannonball's shit. DO NOT BUY! I'm not saying that because I have a personal vendetta against them. Cannonball is notorious for their shitty, shoddily modified cars, questionable workmanship, and downright lies. Don't buy anything from there EVER! I think there was a thread on v240 or bc240 so look it up for yourself. Hideki is a very sweet talking con man.

ER34 is still pretty exp.. just check YAJ

And to the OP, the "Weissach R34" is fully DOT-legal hence the price tag.

This one is for strictly track use.

Regardless its a good deal just go through everything and educate yourself

SpeeDemoN · 02-09-2010, 02:44 PM

Never had any issues w/ cannonball and I have been dealing with Hideki for about a year. He's a reasonable guy and has always been open to dicuss any issues or differences of opinion. I think this is a great deal for someone looking for a drift skyline!

Let me educate you. This car and trailer are in shitty condition and will likely fall apart as soon as you attempt to use either. Enough said. Buying shit from Cannonball is like buying a Lada/Pinto thinking it will perform like a sports coupe. Weird analogy but all I'm getting at is that Cannonball should not ever be trusted. So many people have had problems with the shop and Hideki himself being a lier, buyer definitely beware.

how about i give you some more food for thought. the skyline was actually built by cannonballs associates in japan but was paid for and owned by toyo tires. hideki (owner of cannonball) also got toyo to buy him that trailer because toyo had no space for hideki to park it while it was on the east coast for dmcc. the trailer and car where not actually owned by cannonball (many competition cars are not owned by the drivers) my info i comming from someone who actually worked at cb but has been gone now for a couple years so unless hideki bought the vehicle off toyo or toyo gifted the car and trailer to cb then he's actually selling it illegally (which has happened before with the other toyo s13.5 that was owned by a wealthy customer and hideki sold it without telling the customer as the car was stored at cb for the off season, and pocketed the cash.

WRONG!!!

mmmmmmm. quality cb work right here...

Gasket maker on banjo bolts...

Rubber heater hose used as oil return...it'll probably degrade after a couple months.

Big surprise, no coolant running through a ball-bearing turbo.

Pinched off water return....the feed side was a rubber hose with a bolt stuffed in it.

More disgusting welds...

Oil filter with tool marks on it...I'm guessing it was taken off another car and used on this one.

100% pure water in the rad....do they not realize it's already winter time??

The bolt on the right was used as the radiator drain...I made a proper one on the left with a proper copper washer.

These are all things I found while only replacing the turbocharger.

Some other random pics:

Split loom just "placed" on the long parts of the engine harness just to make it look "clean".

No cover on crank angle sensor...these are optical sensors that aren't supposed to be exposed to outside light.

jackal · 02-11-2010, 04:50 AM

how about some more? different car done about 6 months prior to the above car.

Let the pictures speak for themselves.

this would be a front crossmember. i think it might be leaking oil?

if your like WTF is that. yes, it is a sock.

Thats interesting, because I heard from someone that worked there for a while, that Toyo payed Hideki to drive for them and he uses some of the money to get HIS car ready and to transport it.

Also Im sure if he was gonna sell it illegally, he wouldn't post it on craiglist, cuz it would just make a bunch of attention, and Toyo may find out about it.

Timpo · 02-11-2010, 01:01 PM

are you sure that's an R34? looks like an R32 with R34 front end to me.

just like these ones,

Timpo · 02-11-2010, 01:03 PM

ok maybe it is real R34...i dont know

LMAO. Hideki is most likely selling it illegally, once a bum, always a bum. You even said it yourself. Food for though? More like trash for the garbageman.
