Hey i live in wollongong and cant wrap my head around why ive never seen an r34 here besides tafe, and that is non turbo. i see r33s every day with smoke pouring out the back of them and what not

my question is, is it bad taste or lack of money or is it the r34 its self?? im interested in a r34 gt-t and was wondering if they arent the best choice in any way??

I think it is because here in Wollongong we are a bunch of commodore loving, flat brim wearing room temperature I.Q morons. P.S. What do you do at TAFE?

haha very true, my mate just got a 22,000 LOAN out for a 08 fagodore haha.

im an electrician. north gong tafe, near the uni

Yeah, its madness. I think if you are doing a trade at Wollongong TAFE and don't get a 20+k loan to buy a commo/falcon you are the exception.

lololol so true ay. the mate i was telling you about is in the navy but its still massive haha.

im saving for my skyline :) its gunna take me like a year though >.< saving for a house at the same time, car comes second haha.

do you go to tafe?

dont foret the blue singlet and southern cross tats...

I own a R33 cause i like the shape alot better that an R34. But i would have a R34 GTR as they look alot better than a R34 GTT.

I dont think it's got anything to do with lack of money as there are a few people around here driving some expensive cars. Merc, BMW, R35 GTR etc.

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
