Hi all, firstly I'll like to greet everyone in the forum!

I own a 180sx Type-X and planning to trade it in within the next 2 weeks or so for a R34 GT.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it.

But basically I want where and how much I can get the spoiler for it, exact same ones as the stock turbo ones.

It just doesn't look that great without it..

Also is $16.5k decent for a R34 GT that's done just under 100k?

Thanks for all your help. :(

this is true, youll be hard pressed i think to find a decent GT that cheap, id be budgeting for at least 19k minimum not to mention insurance and rego, just keep that in mind, but it would only take a few minutes to find some on carsales or carpoint, check them out and see what u can find

I'd say $16.5k is pretty decent. Are you sure you wanna go from turbo to an NA though? I don't know your situation, but I have a feeling you might regret it.

I guess test drive it and if you like it then it's up to you. :)

Thanks guys.

Well reason being from going turbo to NA is cause I've speeding too much lately. Lucky I haven't been caught yet, and its just chewing up too much $ for maintanence.

I've decided to go NA but still have the looks,

So the R34 GT was my choice. I mean I would consider a GTT, but that'll cost an extra 8k or so. Not to mention the insurance cost for it... omg I don't even want to think about it lol.

I'll be going for a test drive this saturday to see if there's that much of a big difference from the 180 I've got now anyway.

So does anyone know where I can buy a rear spoiler to make it look more of a sexy beast? :D

Cheers

have you ever thought about/tried to drive around at lower speeds?

seems pretty logical to me.

well........ you'll be more likely than not to speed when you're driving a turbo.

Seems pretty logical to me.

Anyways the main question is the rear spoiler purchase. Anyone?

      Best Skyline ever

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.

      Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.

      It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
