Hey guys, i went to inspect and test drive a r34 gtt today.

The seller doesn't know anything about the modifications done to it (though it looks like the only thing that has been changed is the exhaust and turbo timer installed).

I was just wondering how do i know if the car has an immobiliser, and if it doesn't have one (i'll find out next time) what is the most affordable (BUT DECENT) immobiliser to get and where to get it from?? I live in NSW in the Hils area.

thanks!

(edit) and i just read somewhere on this forum that turbo timers are a defect. Is that still the case?? Because if it is, I don't mind taking it out and just sitting with the car for a minute after i drive it, or just drive normally for the last 1-5mins of my trip lol.

if it is ABSOLUTELY stock - it will not have one.

Is there anywhere I can take the car to, and they can tell me exactly what mods are on the car?

Im getting stateroads to check it out for a comprehensive inspection, would they be able to tell me what's been done to the car at all?

ok thanks guys.

Also, my initial question was about the immobiliser lols. any ideas on that?

Why is it so hard to figure this one out? lock it while you're sitting inside it and try to start the engine? if it wont start then its got an immobiliser?

lol thanks, I'm very very very noob around cars, just learning :) but thanks.

also (probably another dumb question) my mate has an r34 and his headlights have "xenon" written on em, but his headlights are yellow when turned on. Aren't xenon's supposed to be like white/blue-ish in colour?

      So you're now accepting offers of 10% more than the cost of the turbo kit fitted?

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
