    Ok so as I thought, the sunroof broke and got stuck in tilt on one side while trying to get it working. Good news is that I found a working cassette from a reputable seller and it will be here Tuesday so I will have it replaced/working as well as the headlight lens swap in time for the auction ending.

    Sunroof is fixed!! What a job! Especially when you remove 80% of the interior just to protect it...

    I had an over/under $70k bet with colleagues and for sure thought this would break $70k.

    Beautiful car, great owner, hopefully appreciative new owner, and we appreciate all you've done for the forum @RVAE34

    Great auction to watch and I wish you all the best with your future builds. Keep us posted!

    I expected it to go higher as well but I am not upset at all. It was well bought.

    .... I will say the damn thing did inspire me to do one of my own. It has to be Imola tho...

    Again, nice sell and regardless of what the replies tried to make me seem like on the auction, I'm no hater.

    I don't think you need to give other BaT members credit for your posts. You did a great job looking like a total idiot.

    Buyer is a great guy and coming to get the car on Thursday. I have listed my HR31 skyline on ebay so that I can make room for what's next. I have already found the two replacement vehicles and will be buying both this week. A new DD and my favorite skyline, a DR30. Will follow up with more info this week once the deals are completed.

    You don’t like newer ones as much? R33 maybe?

    Sounds like a GT-R is coming up.

    A white R34 GT-R would be such an amazing replacement for the sophisticated/mint/powerful/beautiful Alpine E38... it would almost be the JDM near-equal of the M7 masterpiece you created!

    If only they were legal. I will own one as soon as they are though. It's right up there with f40 on my list. But much more affordable..

    I'm aware of a couple of guys who have bought R34s in Japan and are storing them there until they become legal here, to beat the appreciation in price. Seems a bit crazy to me...

    Yeah I considered that but I'd rather buy stocks until r34's are legal.
