I got my R34 from Autoterminal. I was pretty impressed with the service I got there.

Did anybody hit the link on the auction to report it to Ebay? That escrow scam has been done to death on Ebay. This link shows how somebody scammed the scammer trying to do this. Quite funny. http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/

If you used a Gates timing belt when you changed it this is very common. The Gates belts seems to be a bit on the noisy side. I just got used to it and now I don't even notice it's making the noise unless I'm listening for it. There's plenty of info in the forums on this topic. I think it can also be a sign that the belt may be tensioned too tight. But have bit more of a search, there's heaps.

Nitro RC cars are a lot of fun. I used to have a Tamiya TG10 and for about 12 months it kept me entertained every weekend. I gave it up in the end because it was starting to cost me too much to run. It seemed every time I took it out for a run something would break on it, and it was usually something that was expensive to replace. But anyway, I've been thinking about getting another one lately, probably an off-road buggy this time though.

I use Soft99 Plastic Cleaner. It works really well. I don't know where you can get it locally, it's sold in Japan. I ordered mine off ebay.

Heh...I've also seen a R32 GTR with roof racks around Brisbane a few times.

I saw this page back in 1998. This was the first reference to the term "Riceboy" I ever saw.

Yup, I'm in Forest Lake also.

Autobarn have them, Jaycar also have them

Had one of the CBC kits fitted to my RB25DET NEO today. All went in fine. Only thing is that the kit has a Gates belt in it which makes a whirring sound (do a search on the forums, heaps of threads about the noise). Now that I've heard what it sounds like I would probably have gone and bought a geniune Nissan belt in addition to the other bits in the CBC kit if I knew. CBC kit plus Nissan belt would still be much cheaper than getting all Nissan gear.

I got my timing belt and water pump done today. I supplied all the parts required (belt, tensioner, idler, and cam seals) apart from the water pump. So cost for labour and water pump came to $562. It certainly didn't take 13 hours. Labour was only 5 hours for me.

I'm getting my timing belt done today at a workshop in Darra. I'll post back when it's done with details.

I got mine because I've always been interested in owning something that differs from the everyday. That's why I have only ever owned imports. I chose a skyline because I liked the styling. My father was the same, except he never got into the Japanese import scene. He has owned a couple of English imports over the years. I'm already planning on a 2001+ Cima for my next car!

Thanks, will do.

Any chance of a kit being offered for the R34 tiptronic in the future?

You can also try AutoTerminal at Meadowbrook. Ask for Pete.

I hope so. I have one of the kits arriving today to go in my NEO engine. I'll post back in here when I have the parts fitted, but that wont be for a month or so.

CBC in Brisbane have just got a bunch of these kits in stock. Anyone interested can contact Troy Baker from CBC Brisbane on (07) 3866 2100, or email at [email protected]

Not sure about R33 but its like that with the R34's. Autos have viscous while the manuals have a mechanical one.

This is very true, R34's are still rare enough around here to turn heads (I even caught a girl taking a photo of mine yesterday when I was down at the shops). But at least for the moment you can enjoy driving something that gets noticed until they become as common as a falcadore.

Well, after trawling through this thread I settled on a couple of bottles of Motul 8100 5w-40. See how things go.

Just FYI, I got a new set of keys cut for my 1998 R34 GTT cut without any problems at KGB Security at Rocklea. The keys were cut from another cut without using the nissan key numbers.

Sorry, I can't speak from experience. But I thought the PITS only check to see that the car conforms to DOTR and ADR regulations. I don't think they give an indication as to the overall condition of the car.

The 4 doors are awesome. I just traded my old S13 in on a R34 GTT sedan and couldn't be happier. It was getting to the point where lack of practacality of a coupe was catching up with me. Getting one that was perfectly stock was also important and I got that too.
