My R34gt

[Silver_GT]

Story Goes, I Sold My SSS for a little less than i was after but still got a good price for it. In The Meantime i was driving the VP bommodore around (which i sold to a mate to use in a smash up derby when the rego ran out, fun!) and searching for a new car, I really didnt know what i wanted at all... Had a look at several Audi A3 Turbo's, A Couple of BMW's, a SSS again and even took An Autech N15 2 Door for a test drive. I pretty much decided the euro thing wasnt for me so took a day trip to sydney to have a look at the import yards. Still Being on my P's for another 2 years my choices were fairly limited. But after looking at a few R34's I pretty much decided thats what I wanted.

After concluding all the N/A ones in sydney were either incredibly overpriced OR were not in good enough condition, i set about looking at other states and came across one in victoria at an importer Called CARIZMA. I got them to send me through plenty of high-res pics, made an offer which was too low the first time but came back with a higher offer which they accepted.

So after putting down a deposit, a couple weeks later i was on the plane to Melbourne, Flew Out of sydney at 7am and was Back Home by 7:30pm, massive day but it was worth it.

Not a whole lot to tell about the car really... Its completely stock in every way except the headunit (which im impressed with!)

OH MAH GAWD ITS LOWERED COUZ!~!~!! its siiiiick bro.......its gunna go fustaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

how much did you end up paying for it?

[Silver_GT]

haha yep at least... it feels faster when its lower to the ground, Being N/A it needs all the help it can get haha... Not gonna say exactly what it cost me, but if i was to sell it now, id make a good number on top of what i paid (thankyou carizma for buying this before the financial meltdown making imports expensive )

[Silver_GT]

Another Wee Update for those playing at home.

Due to the economy being a top bloke, and me now having to travel more than 10mins to work, i decided to pick up a daily for a few reaons, a. save petrol (those of you who own rb25's know what im on about) b. Save putting kays on my beastie, ten point to anyone who can point out who used to own the charade

So whats more efficient than a 3 cylinder 1L Motor?

Nugget: Check lol.

Also making the update list today is the fact i changed the wheels to the 17's the turbo's come with, and what a massive difference (i needed new tires anyway thanks to camber n these were a good price) also notice the window tint which is new. yay.

Next on the list is the swappage of a twin tip to a rotor-spec dumpy the twin tip made an aweful chugging sound coz of the divider in it, much nicer sound with the dumpy, and it looks uber cool

Uh-oh, somebody had a dirty tip when they took this photo

And this concludes my update, camber arms are coming when i can be bothered gettin my ass to Just Jap, but for now it lives under a cover during the week anyway Looking at getting some r888's and then possible track days

nice ride dude, bit low for me but nice none the less, i might point out that im pretty sure your tail lights are not factory

they look very much like an east bear set

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

It's come along very well.

From stock to now, it looks a hell of a lot better.

I also bought my R32 from Carizma International back in 2005.

Any more mods to come along?

Ive been thinking that, althought the L.E.D were a factory option, the differences between the east bear's and the factorys ive got no idea about! I could pull em out n find out, but it doesnt bother me that much! Cheers Tho

Carizma offered great service to me, were they as good to you?

Mods to come? Nothing major, the interior has a few additions that ill post up sometime, otherwise just some adjustable camber arms at the back, upper for now and ill see if im going to need adjustable lower arms, coz its got a quite alot of camber i wanna get wrid of. Other than that its getting an LSD, n thats about it. I dont wanna pour too much money in it just yet, as i could very well sell it in a year when im off my P's, or it could stay as a daily, not sure yet.

I was under the impression that the NEO (and moreso the non turbo!) motor was quite fuel efficient? :| Or is that just compared to a Pulsar lol.

[ELMOHASA33]

just the way a skyline should be straight clean & dam sexy congrats not many p platers keep them lookin like that sounds like your a bit smarter than the avverage p plate pilot though "well done"

ps take photos of it low then set it back to road hight you will save on tyres and speed hump damage .

even though it looks tough on the deck.

Put it this way, my car uses more fuel than a 5.7L SS commo on the freeway, i think its got alot to do with the gear ratios - you could probly get better economy from a turbo. My Pulsar hauled ass with fuel economy, i miss it lol.

yea ive seen some rough examples driven by p-platers (more r33's atm as r34's havnt really taken off as much yet, but even so ive seen a few bad r34's) I'll keep the ride height as is, specially seeing ive got a daily now, im interested to slam it a bit more and get some shots tho tire issues will be resolved when i get camber arms, im just lazy haha. thanks for the comments tho

[bozodos]

haha, well what it uses more than 9L/100?!

Dunno I'm used to around 15-16L/100 due to having always had a V8 then a RB25DET.

Yeah man Carizma were great, offered a decent price + a trade in on top.

Joe and Ray were they guys sold it to me, I still see Ray around and David is now in charge and he is also a member on here.

Sounds good for the mods, make sure to post pics!

So you took a plane trip from NSW down to VIC and drove the car back to NSW..?
