I was a bit surprised to see it there myself. Looked stock (from the little I saw) and nothing to indicate it's involved in the Targa in any way.

Spotted what looked like a black R35 in Launceston on Thursday (only got a quick glimpse of the rear).

Thanks again for the info, much better prices in TAS I see. Cheers

I'm pretty sure he does - I recall it being mentioned on SAU before. Next time I'm in Launy I'll drop by and ask, cheers

Well $300 is better than the $600 I paid last time (on the mainland) Thanks, I'll make note of their details.

Thanks for that ian_and1, I suppose it'd be an excuse to go down to Hobart Do you recall roughly how much it cost to get a tune done? I'm a little in two minds about getting a tune done if expensive in Tas, mainly because I /think/ my 34 has lost some power- then again it could just be my imagination. The other main reason is I'm lucky to take the 34 out of the shed even once a month now (due to my location). I should really sell it and get something more practical for the roads around here, even though I still love the car. Cheers

Gday All, Quick question - who in Launceston (preferably) knows how to tune these cars well, especially with the Power FC? I've been told before who does 'em, but that was about a year ago... and now I forget (natch). I'm also interested to know roughly what I can expected to pay for this? Last tune was almost a year ago - that was on the mainland - and I *think* I paid about $600 for the privilege... Cheers

Spotted a few 33's in and around Hobart on 23rd Jan., including what looked like a turquoise one? Oh and a couple of 32's. Nobody seems to have spotted my black 34 that day... which by the way I plan to sell or trade for a Forester (due to my new location

Haha - I thought if I posted here, that at least one of you would be a SAU member Good to meet you too mate. I was soooo tired that day, especially towards the end of the arvo, otherwise I would've been a lot more talkative (got little sleep the night before). Hope to meet you again - but NOT at the range... otherwise that'd mean we're probably re-sitting that exam

Spotted two 33's (silver, grey-ish) at Mangalore rifle range yesterday. Oh, plus my 34 of course

Thanks very much for the heads up - sorry for the slow reply, but I never got an email letting me know that somebody replied to my post. Cheers

Gday All, Sadly I'm selling my baby... Details here: FS: 2000 R34 GTT Cheers,

Hi All, I feel sad doing this, but since I've moved way out into the bush, my beloved R34 rarely sees any use. There is only one sealed road out of town, and too many critters to dodge! Here's the basic info: R34 GTT, manual, black, done approx. 60K KM (need to check new odo). Vehicle was imported either very late last year or very early this year. I purchased it in January this year - was stock standard except for the Nismo coilover suspension. Since then I have done the following: - New* Power FC (*purchased 2nd hand but was never used) - New Greddy Profec B Spec II - New FMIC The above was fitted and tuned by Croydon Racing Developments in Sydney (210KW ATW) - New Xforce turbo back system (3 or 3.5") - 2 weeks later I had a different resonator and Varex muffler fitted. (still have the xforce pipes/resonator/cannon muffler/hanger etc. which should bolt straight on. I'm thinking of keeping the Varex for my next vehicle) - New 18" wheels and tyres (forgive my poor memory - been an eventful year - but have all receipts). - Panel air filter - New Alpine stereo system & speakers - New Rhino alarm system - New Nismo 300KM/H cluster - Had the door glass tinted - New Splitfire coil pack fitted - New battery - New Targa Tasmania custom plates As mentioned, I have all receipts for the above. And I'm sure I've forgotten other things done... So far I have only fed the engine 98 octane fuel and Motul 300V oil. I have treated this car with the utmost care and kept it under 6000RPM. Apart from a few high speed runs, I haven't come close to thrashing the car. I did intend taking it to Oran Park and elsewhere, but ran out of time before moving to Tassie. And now I just plain don't have the time to take it to any track (plus I'm a good hour away from the nearest track). Paint is in good shape, and comes up beautifully after a wash and application of good polish. Basically I'm just in the wrong place for a car like this - I want to replace the R34 with a Forester, which is a better choice for here. Bad points - Only one that I can think of, being a small car park type dent in the door, approx. 5mm in diameter. Paint still intact within dent. Not bad enough to bother repairing in my opinion and I rarely remember that its there. Oh, and no rear wiper arm (if that's a problem). I'm looking for around $25,500 neg for the vehicle as-is. I haven't added up what I've spent (I don't wanna know!) but basically everything bar the suspension was bought and fitted this year, so all mods are in excellent condition, with warranty and I didn't compromise on parts choice or who worked on my R34. I didn't go over the top regarding performance mods - just took it to 210KW at the wheels. Taking it further will involve a bigger fuel pump and turbo, just to give you an idea. Drives the same as the stock vehicle - until you keep pushing the pedal that is Some pics: My R34 1 My R34 2 *Note: car park ding is just below door handle - not really obvious from most angles I am located near Fingal (NE Tas) and probably best way to contact me is via PM or email at the moment. Probably forgotten some important details, but I've wanted to get this post listed for a few weeks - so here it is Of course, if by chance you have a Forester to trade, please contact me. Also chasing a decent quad bike, could part trade with cash adjustment. Needless to say, no time wasters please... don't enquire unless you are seriously interested. Negotiable, but not by too much - I think its good value given the choice of mods, the age and documentation provided. I could always return the vehicle to mostly stock... then sell off the after market parts... but would prefer not to. If I can't turn this into a Forester (suitably modifed of course!) then I may as well keep it. Thanks for looking Cheers

Hehe Yeah, I had much the same idea when I first got my 34 - I thought the bulbs had blown.

Thats because it's actually a 33

Hi Bryn, it's just the flash. Would be good if the doors had lights instead of reflectors though.

Good idea... If only we could use 7 letters, I can think of plenty with 7. Anyway, I also bought two custom plates back in May: The 'WJ' were originally going onto the R34... but I liked the look of the Targa plates better BTW - last time I checked, 'R34' was still available in Tassie. I *nearly* ordered them but the Targa plates were half the price - and if I sell the R34, the plates would only suit another R34, so...

Heh... talk about two completely different ways to use money If you're thinking of buying an R34 - I'm seriously considering selling mine now. I just bought acreage out in woop-woop, and while 90% of the roads are very good, the last 1KM to my place is unsealed. Plus, it has barely been driven since mid-April. I still love the car to death, but I'm finding I'm driving my Landcruiser or Impreza most of the time due to where I live and the stuff I'm doing... Was also thinking perhaps sell the R34 and Impreza, and buy a Forester GT (what I was originally gonna do FFS)... then do that one up. It'd be far more appropriate for where I am. Cheers

Love the 4 door 32... I reckon they look great, with so much potential!

I take it you live on a very smooth road!
