What if i get a R34 25GT N/A. If i give it some mods like podfilter, extractors and catback exhaust how much extra HP would i get ? And would an auto box handle this. Also a stage 2 shift kit for the auto box will that be wise ? since i dont like the smooth shifting in normal auto but since R34 has tiptronic mode you can change at whatever revs you like ? Or does it still do annoying things like switching gears when you dont want, although automatic downshifts are nice.

Hmm sweet!

Australian Capital Territory

The ACT imposes no restrictions on the type of car that may be driven by a P plater -- P platers can even participate in an optional Road Ready provisional licence "P off" course that allows proven responsible drivers to remove P plates within six months of gaining a licence.

Guess ill be getting that GTT after all. :)

Btw how much extra fuel would the turbo car eat compared to N/A say if you are driving like a normal granny and not hitting too much revs / throttle.

turbo car when off boost uses less fuel then N/A. Scientific reason i can't be bothered typing when im already 5 minutes late for work :down:

Google it

Yeah i read that before but is it hard to not hit the boost especially if its auto ?

Why you getting a Auto? I guess manual 34's are hard to find and they always want more money.

Yeah by the looks of things and what ive heard the manuals are usually more expensive, more K's and usually been more thrashed. And nothing better than using the tiptronic and sticking a stage 2 shift kit for harder and faster shifts on it because i think the tiptronics dont instantly change gears they think before the right time comes and switch then which can be a few seconds. Manual would be nice though so im learning manual for my P's now so just in case the time to buy one comes if a nice manual is available i can go for it, but is it 1 year before they give you choice of removing the auto restriction from your p plates.

AWW ok i didn't know you guys have a Auto restriction for your P plates, that's interesting and would really suck i love my manual auto's get so boring after a while, i get why though with some of the people around the Sunshine Coast can't wait to get to ACT going to be different and hopefully better and much colder! :(

dude throw that 18k into a managed fund....i got a n/a r34....i love it!! but im spending too much money on it for mods and all. oyu can say youll keep it stock ALL YOU WANT, but it wont happen haha. throw it into a managed trust fund or high interest savings account....id personally get some govt bonds....and watch your money ggggrrrrRRROWWW.

well..

n/a r34 now.....or r34 gt-r in a few years time?

take your pick.

yeah as hard as it is to say, shanil is right, i wish i had put my cash into shares or something first, now i have all these good contacts to invest with and no money to do it, even just put the cash away until you have your full liscence, hindsight is a wonderful thing, just remember at the end of the day it is your choice and im sure everyone will help either way you go.(yes i know thats not want you to hear, i was in the same position 6 months ago, lol)

zac trust me its colder all right, exspecially the drill practice from 7 to 8 this morning, the rain was a nice additive too, lol, why you moving sown mate

thanks alex,

share market is down in the red zone at the moment....that means two things....possibly it cant go down any further ... AND ... stocks and managed are great 'value' at the moment. I' throw my 18k into a bank account or some investment venture.

i've got an r34 n/a....as much as you mod it up, it doesnt present that thrill that a turbo does. you're looking at about 4-5k on top to get it to 140rwkw i rekn.

Just got a job down there in Training, so i will be running traineeships and Management training ect.... Also working in Management for the first couple of months :( . Least the pay will be better! :thumbsup: more money to spend and save!

Yeah ill get a GTT. :D And dammit stop making me not get a skyline or ill be driving a starlet or a 3cylinder for 5 years. And if i did get the GTT the mods i would get would be 18-19" rims i wonder how much these cost ->

thats evo cams car i found in the photo section.

S004.jpg

and ofcourse some awesome soundsystem with a few speakers, subs, amp and thats probably the furthest ill go o and exhaust. :) Then maybe extractors, bigger front pipes hmm maybe podfilter and boost controller a ECU, pro tires etc.

But nah ill stop at the exhaust. :(

And currently my cash is in a high interest account and last month i got 38$ from interest for nothing, kinda good. If i have 18k in there it would be ~100$ a month from nothing, and if i keep working ill have 40k before i finnish uni then can move out :/. But if i get a car that will be like 5k at the end but would be worth it.

lol thats cool dude,

post up pics when you buy it...

yeah good wheels are expensive...

98 octane is 170 near my place now...so factor in 100 bucks+ a tank for refuelling.

You've got to decide what you want to do, but your going to pay through the nose with insurance, even if it's only third party. Be a shame to write off the car and get nothing.

Plus petrol as people have said, at one stage I was doing 20-25,000 odd k's are year in the skyline and it was costing me around 370$ a month in petrol. Would be over 400$ or so now if I was still driving it all the time(driving less now). So need to keep all that in mind.

just buy what ever you want and catch a bus its easier and cheaper and your precious line will be safe and sound all week until you let it out on the weekends :thumbsup:

I couldnt handle driving another auto ever again, not cool. N/A is even less cool :worship:

But do consider your future ie house etc before you buy :S

I catch a frickin bus and it smells. 1.5hours + to get home from work and thats only ~19km away but using just as a weekend car is good since i work on sat and sun and the buses is shit and gotta cut my hours down.

Auto's are nice though :D I heard just get a 2nd stage shift kit on the tiptronic r34 and its all good to go but a manual is harder to find.

I calculated that 3rd party + rego (the human damaging 3rd party) is like 600$ and 3rd party property damage is an extra 480$~ per year. Not too bad. Just 3 weeks of work.

Fuel is a bitch so if i drive ~40km a day 7 days a week (usually never peak hour) it will be like 280km a week and i hope to drive like a grandma apart from the occasional road rage that happens. :)

And would it be possible to get those rims in second hand cause they looks heap sweet.

Bye

    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
