Hi all, I'm new to this forum but have been a part of r31skylineclub.com for a while now..

I have a nice loan under my belt to the tune of $20,000 and am looking at buying an R34 GTT. I know a fair bit about 31's, 32's and 33's but the 34 is fairly foreign to me. Could any of you tell me what I should look for in an R34 and where to go for a good deal (I'm in WA).

Tim.

I've seen ads in the Autotrader for R34's selling at $21,000 - $25,000...

What I'm more concerned about is the condition of the car, how to pick if it's still 'good to go', things like AWD over rear wheel drive and turbo or non-turbo and all that other sh*t.

Talk to Paul at autoworx http://www.autoworx.com.au/ I think the majority of r34s coming into have gone through him, he can do compliancing, importing and also sells cars he imports himself.

No worries, thanks for that.

So do any of you know much about the R34's? Whether to go triptronic or manual, turbo or non-turbo, AWD or RWD, 4 door or 2 door etc etc..?? :/

You'd want to go for a 2 door coupe, manual, turbo.

They only come in RWD.

That would be the R34 that is worth the most (after a GTR ofcourse.)

That's assuming you wouldn't mind a non turbo just for looks, an auto for comfort, or 4 doors if you have a family.

Yeah you'd need at least 25k for a manual, turbo, 2 door but it will probably have high KMs and be a bit rough.

Budget for at least, 28-30k i reckon.

What's wrong with an auto sedan (it would be triptronic anyway?).

I don't mind paying far less for granny transmission.

The question is what right with an auto trans? Why buy a sports car and get auto? defeats the purpose.

starting line advantage? lol who cares?

only homosexuals and women buy auto sports cars. :D It's like driving a porsche boxter or a jeep wrangler, its just not right.

I would suggest test driving one at a car yard before making a purchase.

Homosexuals? An AUTO BF typhoon is currently the quickest 1/4 mile and 0-100 KM/H Aussie muscle car available! It beats manuals with more KW hands down... this not only goes for Falcons but for HSVs and even some Euros also! In a drag I rather an auto, with twisties then manual...

Putty, if you want an auto tip tronic then go for it...

Funny the new Porsche 911 Turbo is quicker in tiptronic auto than manual, guess Porsche are aiming at homos and women.

Get over jerking your stick.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
