R34 specs, etc req'd...

[Skyline_Dreamer]

Hi Guys,

I am very keen to buy an R34 Skyline (no, not A GTR as I can't afford one).

Is there a page on this forum/site with exact specs for all models of R34,ie manual, auto & the features?

I guess what I am looking for is a brochure like you would pick up in a dealership.

Aslo, any feedback on what you R34 owners (or ex-owners) think of the 34.

Did Nissan only make a GT-T & GTR in this model?

What would you expect to pay for one & more importantly what should you look out for when buying a second hand grey import. ie wear & tear, etc for the number of kms. Is there any tell-tale signs of a windback by looking at the car?

One more qn... What does a 100,000 kms service cost (incl timing chain/belt)?

Any other info all greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.

Nissan made all sorts of R34s same as the R33s

NA versions, both two door and four door.

Turbos, Both two door and Four door.

GT-T is the coupe turbo, GT is the Coupe NA

GT-X is (I think) 4WD single turbo blah blah blah.

Current price is whatever somebody is willing to pay.

Some people are thinking they can import and register one for about 30k, but that was only the case about 12 months ago. Now, they are getting a bit more pricey in Japan, and hence the finished price over here is a bit higher too.

You'd probably be looking at $35k private import, more like $40k from a dealer.

Wear and tear would be the same as any other car.

Odometer is digital but it can still be done.

100k service, not sure but it shouldcost more than $1000 for a full top to bottom service including all oils and stuff.

As the for car itself, well I love mine to bits.

Thanks guys for the really helpful info!

I saw an R34 for sale at a good price with a tiptroic auto.

I am not a huge fan of auto's as they steal the fun of the whole driving experience from you & the gear braking sensation (yes I have owned both auto & manual normalyy aspirated cars).

I have never driven a tiptronic gearbox - are they any match to a manual in respect to driver involvement?

Bass Junky, where are the Tuesday night meetings held?

Would be good to catch up with some of you guys, especially any melb guys with R34's!!!

Check out the Victorian section of the forums.

We have an SAU VIC meeting on the second Tuesday of the month or something.

At the Whitehorse Pub, not sure of the suburb, near Hawthorn.

Where are you located?
