Hmmm... Thinking about buying an R34 GT-4. How easy is it to do an engine swap? Drop in an RB26 and it's essentially a GTR..

Never seen a GT-4 for sale until now. $15k asking price.

As what Shan said...

You could probably get a R32 GTR for a similar price of a R34 GTT.

Or save your money and get the MR2 Turbo.

Yeah I think I will get a stock MR2 turbo. Less cop hassles that way.

Also thinking of getting a shitbox Celica for like $2000 and save all my money for other things (not necessarily cars).

I might take a break from the car scene... We'll see what comes along.

Get an R32 GTS-4 and be a winner like me :ermm:
mine's for sale if you want it.

can supply with stock go fast bits or not depending on how ethnic you get and try to haggle.

comes in 6 different body colours simultaneously.

two owners since new with full books. both owners liked teh go fast pedal.

hahah the abs f**ked up on my gts-4... sounds like someone has had the 4wd fuse pulled out for too long, or has been doing rwd keybangers

mine f**ked up soo badly i coudnt even turn a corner, it would just lock the attessa half way between and it was like jaming the breaks on while trying to perform a u turn hahaha

nah mine just has one caliper locked permanently. It compresses, but then doesn't flow backwards. Guessing there's something in the ABS lines that's acting as a one way valve. Gonna bleed it n see what happens... just need to get around to doing it.

Err.. Your manual comment is void because I CAN drive manual. Would you like to see video of me driving my workmate's MR2 tomorrow? Major inconvenience but I can do it on my lunch break. Would be worth it to prove you wrong... :(

FYI, I don't want to have internet arguments. They're gay. So after this reply just leave it kthx.

Oh and I have driven SAU people's cars before. First one I ever drove was Chad's 32 and he will back me up if he reads this.

If I managed to handle that clutch I'm pretty sure I can handle a standard one :(

wow panties in a bunch, post up saying you don't like internet arguments and you keep goin on fb and SAU :P nice.

lol standard. yes :(

never go into first gear

only go into first gear when you are stopped

if the vehicle is moving, the lowest gear you should select is 2nd

again this would be from sub 30/40km/h

you dont need to downgear in sequence but dont go from 4th to 1st or 2nd

theres too much ratio difference. if your in fourth and slowing down, goto 3rd and brake a bit

use both to slow the car down. not one. if you stick with using one (ie engine or brake)

when you need to emergency stop you wont clutch in, which will mean the car wont stop for peanuts

in an auto when you brake, the engine is disengaged from the clutch, so you stop normally

if you do the same in a manual ,the car will pull up heaps slower and take much longer, cos the engine and clutch are still engaged. ie like slowing down a spinning wheel whilst someone is still pedaling behind on it (on a bike)

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
