New Member ---- Buying R34 Interstate..


Recommended Posts

Honestly I wouldn't bother. Emissions and engineering are simply too expensive here in SA to make it worth while.

The SR20 is a great motor in a light weight shell; the heavier Skylines need displacement.

Even with 270rwkw the SR20 in the 1400+kg R34 won't exactly be a tough streeter until mid to end of third gear, so in short useless.

Buy something that will be easier to sell in the future.

An R34 with the SR20 fart.. :S

found a car i like here. but sold straight away.

want a nice neat tough looking R34

you just missed out on 2 really nice R34 GTT (at good prices)

Mrsnipper's and KISNG's

check the SAU for sale section

geeeeeeee.

I came on here for some mature answers.

not answers explaining , gay paint etc.

alot of 'know it alls' by the look.

well u know, im trying to make u understand, if u want that paint and kit (besides recommending u a good optometrist) it would make a lot more sense to buy a car here and get it done locally, and as i said, the SR is a pretty terrible way to go about it all, i mean as cubes said, SR's are fine in a light shell where weight is more of a factor, but R34's are designed to have a RB25 sitting there, so the extra weight isnt such an issue which is really the only advantage the SR has, and really for the larger size of the R34 u really need a bigger engine like the RB25, especially if ur planning to make big power like he attempted with the SR.

also anyone who has been through regency will tell u how anal they are about even a stock car let alone something like this, these people saying this have usually been through the system a few times already and know, personally ive cleared 2 defects and 1 compliance and imo u will not get through inspection unless u get a really really nice inspector. although anything is possible i guess.

exactly.......thats why i put my 2c in as well

i took my 31 thru 3 years ago fairly stock (incl RB30E) and got raped to the max - and a few people wonder why im not going thru with it this time (being RB20DET and all)

    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
    • Mate, I take this thread in random directions on occasion myself, so no foul I'm a old fan of MCM anyway, I like their banter, and enjoy most of the stuff they do
    • Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.  
    • I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
