Hey all, just thought I'd pop in and say hi, I've just put a deposit down on a 2000 R34 GT-T

Linky...

Should be picking it up at best Friday, at worst Monday.

New to the Skyline scene, I've owned in my brief car owning history:

1998 Nissan Pulsar Q Hatch (1st Car)

2001 Mitsubishi Magna Sport

2007 Mitsubishi 380 SX

1991 Lexus Soarer V8 (Trading this in to get the R34).

Really looking forward to chatting with you guys and seeing the next few steps with my incoming car!

Test drove it today and wow, you guys and girls are definately onto something, wicked power, awesome handling and just looks sooooo goddam sexy.

But tell me, how loud is the turbo whine supposed to be with the window down? Ive never owned a turbo car so I wouldnt know.

Cheers all

loud turbo whine isnt a good sign, its friction in the turbo and while spinning at 100,000rpm the fans will knock eventually seize, and snap a shaft, or the ceramic wheel more likely.

i just experienced it with mine!

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
