hey all, dont ya hate problems

ive been extremely picking in trying to pick out a skyline

what i want - R34 - GTT - white - 4 Door - Manual - the colour isnt to much that i car about it just looks more unnoticable for my plans

but ive been told that a 4 doors GTT manual is rare to find is this true (hence why i can find pretty much only non turbo ones)

any one shed some light on this is this a hole bunch of cr@p or not so and im not looking hard enough,maybe if i just close my eyes and wish on a start one might turn up??

As far as I know they do exist, but they do seem rare to be a turbo AND manual AND 4 door, see so many 4 door non turbo autos like you are saying.. I guess just keep looking harder :D

But I have to ask, why the 4 door? a coupe looks more sporty and the leg room in a 4 door is no better to be honest.

a few reasons why i want a 4 door some matter more then others haha,like my missus wants me to get a 4 door for later in life for kids....but i plan on making a weapon nota childs toy lol, but 2 reasons mainly are like 4 years ago i remember seeing a 4 door with a aero kit with the middle car cut out and it looked so tasty that ive had craving for it. i even moved to aussie so i can persue it because NZ has only fully raped and molested r34s with heap of damage since its a dumping ground for imports, but the 2nd reason is a 2 door is exactly what you said a coupe is sporty, i want that non turbo look, ive been planning to make a sleeper planning.... i have a dairy with mods and whats more important and can hide illegal stuff till i get a cert for it all haha.......i only plan on doing it once.....twice.....maybe more cause i have the bug to modify and i couldnt not not (double negetive means positive :D) change it haha but thats my reasons

First of all.... White manual R34 sedan aren't rare at all lol, just gotta look harder, there's even amount of GTT and GT sedans out there, but there might be more semi auto than manual, but again, look harder :D

As for manual conversion, it's not worth it, just be patient and find a manual, as conversion will cost you 3-4k and resale value = nothing better than semi auto.

they are rare for sure!

i looked for a good 2 months but didn't find anything decent so i bought an r33 4 door instead!

original manual 4 door's GTT's are very rare, most of the manuals you will find have had a conversion.

to get a conversion done with an r34 box would be like $3-4k i'd imagine, you could probably do it a little cheaper by using an r33 box.

I own one (though in silver) - took me a while to find me a factory-manual that was also completely stock - but this was 3.5 years ago.

They're a hell of a lot more common now. Keep looking - perhaps interstate - or maybe import one?

Hey mate. ive got a R34 4-door. when i got it, it was tiptronic auto but i've converted it to manual and by far by anything the conversion went very smoothly alot of people cannot tell it was once an auto.

it is hard to find a manual GTT but there are still a few out there for sale its just a matter of finding the right one for you.

Space wise in the back is alright, not the best car for a family but its alot better than the coupe.

4 door + manual are harder to find regardless if it is a turbo or not....

You will find most 4 doors are auto....

For people saying there is not much difference with the 4 door and 2 door are wrong....

As much as I love the 2 door...

Leg room is slightly better in the 4 door, rear headroom in the 4 door is better and the boot is massive....

If budget isn't really a concern - I recommend getting an R34 GT4 sedan and eventually putting in an RB26.... D.I.Y GTR 4 door... well kind off.....

Here is some inspiration.... ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ld-t280439.html

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
