Hello everyone.

 

I am located in Perth

 

I have been looking to buy a nice clean 2 door r34 for a while now but i am struggling to find the right one for the right price.

 

What are the main features to look at when buying one of these cars.

 

Also roughly in what price range would be acceptable for a r34 gtt 2 door! that is completely stock with around 130***kms on it?

 

Would love some help with finding the right one for me!!

Thanks for your time!

130000 kays!  Hah!

Even if you see one, don't believe the hype.

Stock!  Even more Hah!

Have a look at the fore sale ads on here for some guidance of what sort of things are trading hands amongst the people who know more or less what they're worth.  That's the only broad price guide you're going to get.  After that, you will either be looking at a car which is so nice that you'll pay whatever inflated price the guy is asking for to make sure you get it, or you'll be looking at one of the 11ty bungers out there that have at least something wrong with them and trying to work out what you're willing to pay to take on the problems associated with it.

For some explanation of why I don't give you any price guidance.  I bought my R32 last century for just over 20k.  A couple of years ago it was worth maybe $7k.  Nowadays, some people will tell you that an example like mine that is well looked after and presents well is going to be able to get >$20k again.  That's unprovable unless I sell it.  Finding another example like mine that's for sale is not going to be easy, as there are so few R32s still circulating, let alone in decent condition.  You can only base the >20k guess on what the normal stock are trading for.  R34s are not quite in that basket yet, being 5+ years newer, but really, it can't be long before the same is going to be broadly true.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
