Hey,

What is a good skyline to get on you'r Red P's. I want a R34 1998. I'm not sure what Skyline. It is illegal for p platers to have turbo charged cars so that is out of the option. :(

I origonally wanted a GT-T but that's turbo, I just want to know is the GT exactly the same but without the turbo or is there other differences. Also, what do you recommend that is R34 1998. What other version Skylines do you suggest (I want a R34 1998 regardless).

Note: My uncle has this thing in his 4x4 Range Rover, it detects police cars around like a 5 KM radius or something and when theres police around a red light flashes. Does anyone know what these are called and where to get them.

Thanks.

your uncle gets stopped then his goooooooonee, dont carry illegal stuff in your car drugs, police radars and weapons its so obvious. Another thing buy whatever you can afford, if your after speed 0-100= 8seconds on a good day and 1/4 mile i have seen 15-15.5 seconds out of a NA R33 with zorst and other p-plate mods done to it. So not a street machine, if your just after a nice cruiser get a R34 preferably fresh import and drive that for 3 years and upgrade to something else it what im doing and going to have done next year. So happy i didnt follow these peoples advice to buy some thrashed out sh!t box lol.

Wow, you can read the brochure

as already said, school holidays are over kid.

come back when you know the laws that dictate the car you drive and know why it's completely unnecessary to ask about police radars.

The quad turbo 4 speed auto Gtr is heaps better, all the twin turbo 6 speed manual ones are shite.

'Are you seriously that's awesome, I want one of them really bad!.'

Really...

I may be young, but I'm not stupid.

That's not really nice.

R31 = Eww. :)

I was planning on getting a R34 GT, or R34 25GT. Then when I got my full license, get a Twin Turbo GTR 6 Speed Manual.

If GTR is your goal thats fine, i have no goal i dont even know what i want i just know to have money when the time comes i didnt plan a R34 25GT just happened walking through a caryard. so just focus on the money bit for now.

      Potential MAP Reference Point

      It might be fine. I was just saying that I wouldn't trust it without testing it.

      Traction wasn't bad, l couldn't give it everything off the line but was able to go WOT about half a second after rolling - good for NZ drag strips.   Like one run I did a 1.96 60ft and pretty sure I was on for a 12.4 but lifted early as I was on a 12.5 dial in, and still won haha

      Nice one! I was going to take mine down to SMSP drags one Weds night. I'd love to compare it with my GTR which did a 12.3. The bum-dyno in the 335i says its quicker.   How was the traction @Lithium?

      AFAIK I've seen other people recommend using the back of the balance tube as well. Andre Simon from HPA at least. I can't imagine it being that far off from ideal even if it was only used to drive a boost gauge from the factory.

      R34 Gtt RB25det neo Issue After Modifications

      By ChrisGtt · Posted

      Hi All, New member here, I've joined to help my son with an issue that is truly doing our heads in. I'll start with a bit of an overview. Chris carried out some modifications to the engine to try and extract just a little extra power out of the motor and make it a bit more efficient. Previous to this work, the car already had an upgraded exhaust, increased boost up to 14psi, modified standard turbo to metal impellers and slightly oversized, upgraded fuel pump, been dyno-tuned at JEM, and some other bits n bobs like coil packs etc. Before the current mods it was making 236rwkw at 14psi but after the new mods it now makes 209rwkw at 14psi. The work he carried out is as follows, timing belt service, water pump replacement, return to sump radium catch can, had oem head rebuilt and machined 0.2mm, fitted Athena cut ring head gasket 1.2mm thick, arp 2000 head studs, added rear prp head drain, added an external wastegate 40mm turbosmart welded off the stock manifold and plumbed back into a 3in dump. The car has been on the dyno and apparently the ignition is working, fuel flow and fuel pressure is fine, injectors are fine, spark plugs are working fine, Maf is working, O2 sensor is working, TPs sensor is working, VCT is working, CAS is working, boost leak test showed no boost leaks, compression test first crank cold 135psi and got to 150psi across all cylinders once cranking, timing is confirmed at tdc with a dial gauge and the cam dots line up, no blockages in intercoolerm throttle body or pre-turbo intake, no blockages in exhaust, cat conveter or down pipe, turbo looks fine and spins and wastegate looks fine and is new. Soz for all the detail but after all this, it has been in 3 times for dyno and each time comes back stating it's not going to make power. After the first (or second, can't remember now) trip to dyno we did find the timing out by one tooth and this improved things, but it is still well down. Does anyone have any ideas?  Any replies much appreciated as we're just not sure of which direction to take this. Regards Rob (Chris's Dad).
