Guys i have been looking for a car since early this year and been comparing EVO IX, WRX STI 06 & Skyline R34 V specs. I like to find out what common problems do R34 GTRs have so i can get a better understanding when I’m making my final decision. I know most problems and issues on Sti & Evos but nothing on R34 GTR’s so I would really appreciate if you could help me out here! :D

No problems really to speak of in my case...

In 3 years of ownership, I've only had to replace a set of coilpacks with Splitfires, the oil pump with an N1, front rotors replaced with slotted DBAs and before I took ownership I had a rust spot below the bootlid light attended to.

The car gets serviced every 5000Kms and that's it.

I'm looking for one also! I couldn't find much in the way of a "buyers guide" either...

Just take your time. make sure whatever you buy is THROUGHLY gone over by a decent mechanic. And check for dodgy accident repairs, some of the cheaper 34 R's have had a decent whack.

I'll be in the market for one in the next 1-2 years as a track cop

Neck injuries to bystanders cause its such a head turner.

Accidents cause its stops traffic.

...not to mention that some owner had to travel 200km to pick up his car from his service-technician/engine-rebuilder lol

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
