  1. Yep. For a kid it's not an advisable car - sure the n/a R34 meets P plate regulations etc. however Skylines are expensive cars to maintain. - Tires are expensive - Once you buy the car you will usually have to change the timing belt, coil packs, shocks and general maintenance - Parts are expensive - try to buy genuine where you can - Install a good security system - Being a non mechanical person - some mechanics out there will literally suck you dry of your hard earned $$$ - especially if it's an "import". - Fuel is expensive you have to run 98 - Many idiots out there will temp you to race - Many idiots will tell you what to do to your car etc. - Insurance is stupid expensive - considering its a non-turbo car - RACV was quoting me just under 4k full comp when I was on my Ps. Even just Cars were quoting me just under 2k for full comp. I ended up going 3rd party fire and theft - cost me $800+ per year - Cops will always be on your tail - P plate + skyline = pull over (regardless if its turbo or non turbo) @Josh - all the best with everything - but keep all the above in mind. Even though an R34 may seem affordable there are many hidden costs you will face. That $12k R34 is actually more like $16k once it all adds up. Be prepared to cough up roughly $5k per year+ (rego, insurance, maintenance, parts, fuel) I do not know your financial situation - but for a typical kid your age (between 15 and 22) $5k a year feels like $50k
  2. Actually you don't need the GTR fenders (however it would look much better with them). One of the guys I bought parts from has an R34 GTT - all he changed was the bumper and the bonnet. The GTR bumper to the standard GTT guard lines up quite nicely enough (surprising) - however there is a slight mis-match in how the lines flow.
  3. Spotted UNR33L on Bell st this morning - heading uphill.
  4. Probably me - if it was between 9:30ish and 9.45ish I didn't see you.
  5. - Dark coloured R33 smashed into a light post just off the western ring road last night (my dad spotted this). - Very clean black R32 (gts-t or gts) on Yarra Boulevard - The guys were eyeballing my car - the same car was later involved in an accident - a cyclist ran into the back of them. Cyclist got cuts to the face as he went through the rear window. - Stumbled on this on the interwebs LHD converted R34 Sedan ---> http://antipolocity.olx.com.ph/2001-pearl-...34-iid-98677564
  6. Hey guys. I've been contemplating something similar - but never got to it because its something not so common and I use my car lots (but not as a daily) and is something low in my agenda. Anyways - I've been thinking to have mine as "stock" as possible - but aim for massive amounts of torque early in the rev range. Think euro cars such as Golf GTI and new BMW 335. How much torque does your setups produce - Is it similar to 1jz VVTI (late model Soarers)?
  7. - Silver/grey r34 GTt sedan this morning pulling out of McDonald's South Melbourne near crown. - Silver RS Four Stagea on Punt Rd this morning - White (not sure if it was pearl or not) r34 GT sedan wingless yesterday night along Bulleen rd - cruised side-by-side for a little. - Yellow r34 GTt coupe along warrigal rd - heading south yesterday arvo same setup as Charles minus the carbon - Indian fella driving.
  8. I "think" you have a good point. I read somewhere that the R34 sedan was designed before the coupe. I'm not really sure though - could just be an old rumour.
  9. Looks good. Does anyone know if this is a factory Nissan unit? How is the sound quality of this unit compared to the factory head unit? It seems to be standard double DIN size - so it "should" fit - However i'm not sure about the depth.
  10. I just LOLed - I shouldn't laugh though
  11. Spotted a very clean (almost showroom fresh IMHO) stock grey R33 sedan driven by an azn chick this morning on Bell St. heading uphill towards Austin Hospital.
  12. Attached are two pics. Coupe and sedan. R34 sedan layout is similar to that of the R33 coupe. R34 coupe is similar layout to the R35 and old 240k Skyline.
  13. There was a Non-turbo 2.0L RB20DE Neo released for the R34. This car was not allowed to be imported to Australia.
  14. Wine red R33 boosted it past me along St Georges rd. I caught up at the red light - he kept looking forward.... Big NISMO sticker across the rear windscreen I feel no love. Why show off and not look at me? You obviously proved you can reach a red light faster than me.
  15. Clean red SVD R31 with white wheels and personalised plates following me, this morning along Warrigul Rd. Saw a white R34 coupe (not sure if it was a GTt or GTR from afar) along Dalton Rd Thomastown around 9am.
  16. I think you may have to wire it to the same circuit as the light around the ignition barrel - that fades away when you close the door.
  17. I bet Ford would be making lots of coin too Imagine all the wannabe Ken Blocks (and people that know nothing about cars) heading into the Ford dealer wanting a Fiesta.... and hoping to make 650hp out of them
  18. You're right it was an R34 GT or GTt auto dash - hahahaha
  19. Spotted a Honda Civic with personalised plates "GTR-033" Lots of skylines on Yarra Boulevard yesterday afternoon also spotted an M35 Stagea. Highwaypatrol hiding behind one of the corners. Seemed everyone was on their best behaviour.... except the motorbikes
  20. Yep. I was behind you. I see you around the northern subs quite a lot.
  21. +1 Speaking from a Victorian perspective - Wouldn't worry about point number 2 - BUT it might be difernet for NSW. If you have to get emissions checked - ensure your cat is in good working order.
  22. I like your setup. GL with the sale. Ultimate P plater skyline non turbo.
  23. I wonder if these 22" will fit in an R33
  24. I wonder how many horsepower they have???
  25. Of Indian subcontinent heritage.
