R30 for sure :) I almost vomit looking at R33's, The worst looking skyline ever made

considering every man and his dog has one you'l have to get some airsick bags for your back pocket when you go outside then

Have opted for a Chaser to replace my daily drive but i'm still a Nismo fan through and through but Chaser's do kick ass

Dave,

I like your choice of replacement, I was going to do similar with a JZX90 (is that correct) chaser, but good ones were hard to find so I went with a 1UZ conversion to my MX83 and now I think I have the best Toyota cruiser in the country.

January 08, I did Sydney to Melbourne via Hume, Great Ocean Rd ~ Torquay to Port Campbell and back up the coast through Lakes Entrance. Covered 3920k on 176L fuel which calculates to 9.6L/100k and has power / torque to burn.

Pity you can't keep both.

I did a bit of cruising on Yahoo Auctions last night and your sedan isn't bringing money in Japan either, found some with starting figures of AU$100.00 with no bidders, so it might be a store it for a while deal and wait out the crisis the world seems to be in at the moment.

Cheers, D

this thing flys and is still compfy as f&ck to cruise in..

besides the $6.5k BBS rims and HKS suspension, a kick ass top dollar exhaust, nice recaro seat and Defi guages etc.... it's got a full OS giken gear set, twin plate brass buton clutch that is a dream to use believe it or not, and, a 1.5 way mech. diff!!!

who ever had the car in Jap. new their stuff and didn't like skimpin on the $$'s

OK where do i get one... I want it!!!

Ya gunna need lots & lots of bottle tops for one of these.

I much prefer the JZX90 shape to the 100 & later.

Only problem for me it can't tow my Skylines where the V8 does it eazy.

i reckon it would do the trick but i would stick with the 8 for the job.

the 1jzx has an awesomely torquey motor and the low down power is quite surprising... all about the VVTI now - nice smooth power band

so you actually have this landed and all??

pic dude!!!!

gee i wonder what randy would reckon

got the car on Friday and have put it through the it's paces... the thing flys! and the power comes on nice and smooth

I'll put some more pics up of that one soon

Randy, well i'll be dropping in there soon as all the good dyno tuners are out his way

  • 2 weeks later...

** Thread cleaned up**

Dennis, It doesnt hurt for him to try for a high price, and if you feel the need to tell someone they are asking to much, keep it to PM please.

There's no need for a keyboard war over someones asking price, no matter if you are the seller, or a prospective buyer(or just reading the thread)

Keep it to a dull roar people.

Cheers

Jason

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
