R34 4-door Questions

[smurf80]

My post is twofold. Firstly as an owner of the R34 GTT tipo sedan NA and bear in mind I have a very limited knowledge of vehicle mechanics.

from personal experience I have had some troubles with the concept of moving from NA to forced induction and swapping the stock tiptronic transmission out - only because - still not sure if the standard tip transmission can cope with performance increases - and if it can, to what sort of figures. for info on moving to forced induction check out the thread in... gasp... forced induction under the root dir.

my car wasnt fitted as standard with an immobiliser - insurance from justcars (through AAMI) demands an immobiliser if your going to go through them - only place I could get decent priced insurance for an import - im 24.

condition of the car - all depending on how careful the driver was. I got mine with 65 on the clock and the overall condition was immaculate. sad to say im a grub and its looking like crap now.

the steering SHOULD be solid until the car has a stack - ive bumped mine on 2 gutters being a wang and had broken upper control arms, bushes, etc and it cost a pretty penny for new parts - OEM were hard to find. after new parts and before wheel balancing I had terrible steering. back to where it was now - nice and solid. im fearful of playing the fool on the roads ever again - but I learned a damn good (read expensive) lesson.

pretty much anything you want to replace can be found in a reasonably priced third party version that will exceed the OEM parts strength, reliability and performance envelopes. Dont be afraid of going third party, but depending on the parts, OEM MAY be hard to find.

Second half of post... can someone give me a rundown on whats going on with the ducting at the front right (as seen) of the engine bay? I havent seen this around.

hey mate thats just the air intake for your stock airbox. The intakes for the GTT and GT are different but its all stock and meant to be there.
