Hi Guys,
I am new to this skyline scene, have been roaming the forums a fair bit searching through threads.
I have been in the jdm scene for about 3-4 years now. Have owned previous type R's etc, and currently own a twin turbo supra.
I've found that there seems to be a lack of information regarding 34 GTR's? or GTR's in general? Am i looking and searching incorrectly?
Basically, I'm leaning towards coming to the skyline side of the world, and buying a 34 GTR. But from time to time, I see people stating, their engines being rebuilt after xxx amount of KM's, talk about high maintainence and running costs etc.
Is there a thread of basic information that sums all this up?
- Why does it seem that so many RB26's get rebuilt?
- How well can a unopened RB26 handle ~300-350kw atw?, will other parts like gearbox give way, (i do know the getrag is well known for strength tho)
- What do people mean by high running costs? petrol? (my twin turbo supra runs 16L/100km, so thats not a biggie if its petrol), or ie. shit breaks and u gotta pay a lot 2 repair?
- Common skyline problems? Heard about suspension computer ruining the drive?
Sorry for long thread and noob questions, hope someone can point me the right way and affirm me to buy a 34GTR.
Thanks in advance
