G'day all,

Thought I would make my first post in my home town forum of SA / Adelaide. My name is Tobias, I'm 26 years old and a full-time graphic designer as well as a stay at home dad to my 2 year old daughter. I have saved for what seems like a lifetime and its time to get a car. Have around 15k to spend, so some advice in which model skyline would be great. I was looking at a r34 GTT...

Would love to get to know people here as my car knowledge is quite limited, so help and advice is welcome and very appreciated.

I love working on engines when I was growing up on the farm for most of my life, so I would be a good hand to have if anyone needs it, so let me know.

Hope to hear from the fellow SA skyliners.

Thank you for reading my little bio.

welcome

if you can get an r34 gtt within your budget, I say go for it

Sure you might be able to get a 32 or 33 but 34s are still relatively modern and a lot less expensive to maintain and keep on the road

there are some nice ones out there, look around, dont get rushed into any purchases - once you find the right one you'll know it

enjoy your stay

Thanks for your your replies so far. I feel very welcome here and love looking and reading around the forums, always been my dream to own a R34 since i first saw them come out back in the day. So i think a GTT would be a good first step below my dream r34-gtr.

P.S. LOL pool table.

thats a very nice clean looking R34 there....just remember it has 104xxx kms on the clock so prob needs a 100xxx km service which will be nice and expensive.....i would be looking for a very very nice and clean 33 GTST Series 2 model for roughly 11-14K mark......if you can get a decent 34 for 15K well go for it but think about a few things like the 100xxx km service.....etc etc.....there are some very nice cars on car sales as well mate

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
