Hope I hope you enjoy Perth.

I wouldn't worrie too much about the modifications, just be more cautious of the driving infringments and the hoon laws!

If your interested in a GTR let me know. I have my 1993 R32 GTR VSpec for sale. Its immaculate and unmodified, therefore reliable!

I am really looking to go with an R34 but out of curiosity, if you dont mind me asking, how much is it going for?

Definitely, how often do you guys meet?

I saw imports101 has a Bayside Blue GTR for sale for $54k... One can dream for now. Would much rather get the GTR than the GTT (no offense), I just have always loved the GTR version. I can pay cash for the GTT but would have to finance the GTR, which I am assuming you cant do if Auss is anything like the US. In the US, it is almost impossible to finance anything 7 years old, or older. $54k is a lot to drop on a car cash, if you ask me... but thats just me.

That bayside blue GTR is mint though. Then engine (don't quote me) is around 500hp, but reliable enough to be a daily. Finance is easy to get. Just show a bank some cash, a job, and they'll give you anything. I saved 5 grand when I was 17, and they said I could borrow up to 22. If I could afford a GTR I would as well... But yeah 54k is a whole lot to be spending on a 10 year old car.

Had an R34 GTT, 300ZX, R32 GTR and R34 GTR, none of which were stock. Still yet to be yellowed :) Been pulled over a few times for random breath tests though. Be polite, drive sensibly and treat the officers as people and you'll be fine.

No shit, that is why your 8 year older car goes for 5 grand more then mine still! I want a GTR, but I am happy with east bear kit ;)

I have to agree. The east bear kit does look great on the car but does seem a little costly. Do you have that on your car? How much did it cost with painting and install (if you dont mind my asking)? either way it is still a hell of a lot cheaper than R34 GTR. I love the look and power of GTR (who doesn't) but I would gladly just take the look on a modified GTT.

Thanks. How did owning the R34 GTT vs GTR feel? What did you do to the GTT?

No I will be getting the bomex kit on my car, in the near future. Should be fitting it this weekend, then all I have to do is paint and refit. I bought the kit for $500 (very cheap, but decent quality) from a private seller. There is a place called 'TheSpoilerShop' here that fits and paints kits. They quoted me around $3000 for a full kit bought painted and fitted. Or around $1600 to just paint and fit. Expensive, I would rather do it myself.

you shouldn't be able too because they dont meet adr's, well most. i think there was one brand a few years ago advertising that their's did.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Yeah, they change the crumple zone of the car, pretty sure they don't meet Australian standards, but keen to see if it you can get one.

Two completely different cars. GTT had ECU, boost controller and supporting mods running 14PSI and around 260RWHP. The R32 and R34 GTR felt quite different from each other as well.

As far as loans go, you won't be able to get a secured car loan for a car that old. Your only options would be to take out an unsecured personal loan or redraw on your mortgage if you have one.

BLITS has ADR approval on FIBREGLASS bonnets, i know its not CF but it might be the best you can run on a street car

      HKS stroker kit step 0/1 or HKS GTIII 2530

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
