thanx for the info guyz :)

How do i drive it back from VIC? isnt it too far? wont my Km's go high lol

will check out the rides here on the site first and decide. i really want an R34 and love the looks thats why the last option will be to get a N/A and then when i get more cash i will sell it and replace it with the r34 gtt

btw are r34 gtt automatic with triptonic any good?

one more question. how do go about with the forms? the ones u fill up when u sell/buy a car? if i am not in the state that the seller is?

in regards to the forms you'll have to contact the DPI

my mate in the Army when he was in Darwin wanted to buy my 180sx but it was too complicated for us but there was a bit more to it than just buying and selling

all the R34 GTT's that are automatic are tiptronic... there's quite a few members here with tiptronic ones so they'll be able to give you their opinions, i had a disagreement with some guy from Sydney as i personally think that a tiptronic one would not be as fun as a manual one, especially with our roads here and when you go on cruises and stuff there's plenty of roads that cater for fun/spirited driving

i know a lot of guys in Sydney and Melbourne however have tiptronics as their traffic is real stop/start so the automatic transmission comes in handy

if you're looking to modify and take your car to track days and 'enjoy' so to speak your car a little more i'd stick with a manual

a bit biased though, i hate driving automatics unless it's made to be automatic ie. a Lexus/Mercedes... couldn't imagine driving relative's cars in manual

less fun and puts you to sleep with late nights

my2c anyway, hope that helps

I have a tiptronic R34 (I wanted an R34 but could not afford a manual). It's great in traffic and the tiptronic function is really handy. However if you can get a manual I probably would, not to mention it gives you the ability to have a bit more fun. However if you're not bothered its a good way to save some money, be a bit lazy now and again but its still an R34 Skyline and a great car.

been in ur shoes before mate, got the na then sold it for the turbo, no comparison.. which i already knew but at the time i couldnt afford the turbo and its expenses bla bla. Save up a lil more and get the turbo.. otherwise ull say "i should have listened to that dude." I love manuals but i got a semi auto (mum needed to move the car sometimes and doesnt drive manual) i love it also tho, it comes in handy a lot and still very fun to drive. but the trans depends on how u like to drive i guess.. if i had the choice id have both.. might convert later tho cos i love it too much.

got both cars from nsw to wa from between 1200-1500 bucks. just get the turbo!

like Andrew said.. u may tend to get sleepy with the semi auto. Just clock ur car.. thatll wake u up, na dont thats dangerous :thumbsup:

no matter what car ur interested in man, if u cant view it or drive it for yourself you should get someone who can, u cant tell what condition a car is in by photos, look for a car with the right colour, extras, kms or whatever u like then get a complete inspection. might cost anywhere from 100-400 bucks but thats a small price to pay imo even grab their mechanics number and chat to them about the car. depending on what state the car is search for a known or reputable vehicle inspection company for that state/city etc on the net and book an inspection (preferably a company that includes a compression n leak test also). still gotta reply to ur pm mate bit busy at work gtg. talk later hope that helps.

I paid Ceva (aka TNT) 750 to ship my 32 from perth to melboune (house to depo) at xmas.

If you drive it is about 3500k's, 5 days and cost about (depending on your fuel eco) $800-$1000 inc accom, food, fuel etc and it is very boring no matter what car you would be driving.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
