Hi All,

My name is Brad. Thought I would copy this little intro from the ACT Member's Rides thread.

Been frequenting the SAU forums for the past few months, until I finally registered as a member when I decided that I would take the plunge and get a Skyline of my own!

It took me about 2 months or so of searching, enquiring and inspecting many different R34s from all around ACT and NSW before I eventually came to own my "almost perfect" R34 GT-T.

I have had it for a couple of weeks now but haven't got around to posting on here till now...

2001 Model - Series 2

Pearl White

85,000 kms - not sure if genuine, but great condition leads me to believe it may be.

Manual

Factory Sunroof!

Basically 100% stock standard except for HKS Turbo timer and rear adjustable control arms and bushings (which I had installed).

Came with 20" rims on it and a spare set of 100% brand new stock rims which I have put on as I was not a fan of the 20s. (will hopefully be selling them)

Note the number plates which I am stoked about! Just got lucky when I had to transfer rego.

Current plans for it are:

Remove stock solenoid and install manual boost control+boost gauge - as I think it might be overboosting...

Turbo back exhaust - Stock one is a little too quiet/restrictive.

Decent panel filter for intake

Black/dark grey 18" TE37 style rims - can't justify the cost for legit Rays TE37!

Then ECU + Tune once I've got it to a stage I'm pretty happy with.

​Possibly thinking of changing the front bar but still undecided as it is really starting to grow on me.

Will be doing little details here and there, but basically just full "stage 1" mods and then I'll see from there. Just have to get back on top of money now after spending so much just to get it! ;)

The R34 GTR has always been a dream car of mine, and since I cannot afford to shell out for the "real thing" I settled for the next best!

I am on SAU pretty much everyday and look forward to getting involved in the Skylines Australia community!

Very nice looking car mate, well done.

Kind of have to agree with the below, if its really want you want, put money towards that instead of pouring it into this... Having said that, your planned mods arent crazy.

Welcome!

welcome.

dont mod the car, put in savings for the 34gtr.

wish i done that.

i would own one by now.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Already been seeing a few different Skylines around Canberra and getting/giving a friendly wave.

Also went to the SAU Nationals in Goulburn the other week, had a chat to a few people.

Seems to be a great community of people on here!

Haha yeah that might have been me.

Had to move the car since I had been parked elsewhere (next to a Supra) for a couple of hours and had tyres chalked.

Was pretty busy so I was lucky to get a park so close to the show.

Had some amazing cars there... got my friend hooked on Skylines too now after he saw some of the GTRs there lol.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
