Hi, Thanx guys. I had done a search for 'cruise control' but didn't find much. Someone else had asked if they had it and someone said that they think you can get a aftermarket one but nothing more was said, nothing about costs or anything so I thought I might post in the WA section cause maybe someone could give me a name of a place were I could get one from

Hi guys, I haven't brought my skyline yet.. still on holidays XD just trying to look for the perfect one but I've noticed that the R34 GT-T's don't have cruise control on them..... is that normal?? Is it a optional thing? The reason I am asking is because I really want to have cruise control!! if it's not already on the car.. is it possible to get it put on?? and how much would I be looking at?? On my old 96 VS commodore I had cruise control and when I sit on the freeway my ECU told me it's doing like 6L which is very good, but when I drive normal it's a lot higher!! So was wondering if it's easy enough to get one put on or If I'd have to go without (which would suk!!) Thx for the help guys!

I'm not concerned about performance, it's not like I'm back at home on the autobahn without a speed limit, I'm limited to 100km/h here and mods such as exhaust just attracts cops which I could do without, also mods equals more I gotta pay for insurance (I'm almost 20 now, just off my P plates). I love the look of R34's. Theres a better chance that the car has been thrashed when a car has been modded up. Thrashed to me means burnouts, revving the engine to it's limits, damage to the body due to stupidity involving a drag and a pole etc.

This is the kind of car I'm looking at (http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/Sports-Performance-Cars/AdNumber=TP000659941?BackToResult=true). 1998 Skyline R34 GT-T Tiptronic. Selling for $15,500... over east unfortunately. Does this look dodgey to you guys? I'm asking because everyone is talking about these $20k+ prices and I've found a couple around the $16K price, and around that price is my limit .

Don't tell me stuff like that!

Hi, thx for the heads up. With the KM's, What is the engine life on these cars? Every skyline I've saw in FS has ~100,000 or less.. I own a 96 VS commodore and It's done ~220,000 and runs a charm. IT just looks like once they hit ~100k kms they sell up lol. Just wondering if there was a reason or coincidence. I have read the DIY section and it's got a thread about what to look for when buying a skyline, I've read through the 3 pages and its very imformative, although I'll still get a RAC guy to check out the car to be safe (I don't trust myself). Also, I've had a look at AUTOWORX and also other import yards, and their prices are really expensive compared to private sellers. I know that yards are always more than private but I didn't think by that much. There's a nice R34 GTT coupe Auto for sale on Autotrader for $15,500, which if in WA, would be a car for me.

MMMMMMMMM so jealous!! RB26, my dream engine. If I go importing route I'll get a company to do it for me. But they don't do everything do they? like register the car etc. and It takes awhile for the car to actually get here etc. Or do they give you a bottom line price and it's a drive home situation? Whats the ETA once the car is found? I'm only 20 and at uni, so I can't have a car that is heavily modded for 2 reasons, 1. will cost too much to run while on part time job and 2. No insurance company will insure me !! LOL

In the autotrader, I find cars over east but absolutely none in WA!!

Haha. The reason I don't want mods is because It kind of gives a indication on how the car was driven and also, If I do mod the car in the future, I want to choose the parts myself and get the things done that I want to. Does anyone have a indication on the price for a Non-modded R34 GTT would be? I've seen modded ones go from 15k to 25k, I would be presuming a non-modded one would go for cheaper? Also which would be the better route? importing or buying in perth? I've never imported before so I'd be new to the whole lot and it sounds complicated and can't physically check the car out myself before purchase etc. So kinda wondering if it outweighs the extra costs of having one in perth already etc.

Hi guys, Im interested in buying a R34 GTT near the beginning of next year. I'm looking for a completely stock R34 coupe. Is it cheaper to import one or to get one here? (I live in Perth). I have looked at the For Sale sections of this forum and also in the AutoTrader and Quokka, but every skyline has been modded!! What kind of price would I be looking at for a Stock R34 Gtt and how common are they to find? I haven't searched too much as of yet because I'm not getting one until next year. I just want one that hasn't been thrashed (hence no mods), because I don't have pocket loads of money for maintenance and repairs. I love the R34 and really want one. More mods = more money needed. Also, does anyone know a yard dealer that comes across the R34's regularly? and one that is trustworthy?
