How you going, My name is Owen, I'm from Warrnambool, Vic

At the moment I'm in the process of buying a R34 GT-T, I don't get my license back till mid feb so I have time to research it before buying one

This wont be my first High Powered Nissan

I originally built a VL Calais with a RB20DET , JPC did all the ECU wiring and original intercooling (mild steel pipes?) and at the time it made 120rwkw (stock as a rock)

after the first engine let go (timing belt tensioner snapped off) I put another RB2DET in it and this time put all new intercooler & stainless piping and put on a modded RB25 turbo which had steel wheels in it, It was tuned at Bresciani Racing and made 196rwkw @ 18psi and ran a 8.61 over the 1/8th mile

A while after the VL I had a Nissan Patrol SWB, TD42, DTS Turbo Kit, Intercooled, injector pump maxed out and ran 20 PSI , 36" Simex, Lifted, Locked up etc. (originaly the patrol had a big JPC kit on it but was removed by the original owner)

So after getting sick of the 4wd Buzz and 90% of every decent track getting shut up I decided it was time to go back to my roots and get a skyline which was something I wanted many years ago

welcome owen.

hope you find the car youre looking for.

when you do, definitely post pics.

in regards to the 4wd track comment, I think its ridiculous.

and I dont even 4wd.

I swear the government is trying to make it so anything other then driving from A to B in a stock car is completely illegal.

either way, welcome back to the car scene.

If DSE had their way with everything they would ban 4wd's and bikes from national parks

Welcome Owen, good luck finding your 34

Always nice to welcome another VL owner (even if it is an ex-VL owner) to the forum. Good luck with the search for a new car and try not to be too disappointed when girls aren't piling up on your fence, scrambling to get in (World War Z style) like they would have done with the VL.

yeah chick's used to dig the VL's, I'm actually a long time member on calaisturbo forum (VLRB20DET), It's ok my gf is Chinese and used to live in Japan so I'm sure she will like it

I would like to get a GTR but after looking what is available at a reasonable price 32's are still 16K + and 33's are 20k + , I would get a 32 but they are basically the same age as a VL and majority are in poor/average condition or had the best of their life flogged out of them, thats why I thought a 34 GT-T would be a somewhat better option, newer and lower km's
