Hey guys,

I'm in the market to buying myself a manual r34 GT-T. It's always been my dream to own a r34, and I am currently saving up now, expecially since i just got my fulls recently meaning i can finally drive a turbo!!

I live in NSW, and i wanted to know pretty much everything there is to buying a skyline. I have heard plenty of things from word of mouth and also by reading a few things on this forum.

I have read that the km's are easy to wind back, but to inspect mostly the condition of the interior of the car and not judge by km's, and i have also tried researching which dealers have a good reputation.

So my questions are:

- WHO has a good reputation for selling imports (r34's mainly)?... i have heard Edward Lee's isn't very good (i read it somewhere on this forum lol)

- HOW do i know if the skyline i am looking at is legitimately in good condition (can i perform engine compression tests by asking NRMA or something?)

-WHAT should i be looking for when buying my r34?

I want a decent quality r34, however my price range is between 14-17k. i'm looking for one that is pretty stock (so i can modify it myself) but it wouldn't hurt to have a few clean mods such as exhaust and body kit.

by the way, im not sure if this topic is supposed to be placed in this part of the forum, so if it's supposed to be somewhere else, please let me know lol.

Thanks guys!

      Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session

      Compressor flow comparison table

      You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
