the insurance will still be shitlaods cos its a r34 skyline they dont care auto manual or turbo non turbo. its an import they believe parts are harder to find, it will most likely get stolen cos its an import and will most likely brake down and have more problems cos it wasnt australian delivered so the insurer has a to bigger premium on it cos they believe more things will go wrong cos it wasnt sold in aus. the diff between turbo and non turboi will be like $200 a year. same with auto vs man probably another $200 a year

you probably can't import the 2.0 litre one, as not enoguh power to classify under SEVS (correct me if im wrong, i cant be bothered looking it up)

there is also issue of police attention, they won't care/know if it's a turbo or non-turbo, they'll pull u over anyway... though i guess you've got an advantage coz you dont live in melbourne...

well i had a quote ages age on about $4600 for a turbo and i know a guy my age in Sydney with a non turbo, well i dont know him but he is Viscount on these forums and he has a non turbo for $3200 a yr so i mean a fair difference................

Why not just get a R32 GTS or R32 GTS-t, even better, plus the cheapest R34 i've seen in Australia was a R34 25GT Semi Automatic Sedan for $19,990. Goodluck having $20,000 if your a 'youngin' insurance is a killer, so is attention.

Edit: Also you must factor in things like fuel, (i know N/A wont suck the fuel as much as a Turbocharged motor, but still) and repair costs etc, many, many things in a car car not function correctly and need repair, repairs for a car, especially a R34 can be very costly.

you better off buying a r33 GTS25, insurance for it will be around 1500 full comprehensive as long as you've had no fines/accidents etc through justcarinsurance - well it was for me when iw as 18.

A R34, due to the price, and newer car etc etc would be just as expensive as a turbo version

Things to note:

r34 and r33 N/A's are not 'that' much different power wise

r33 will be cheaper to buy, and cheaper to insure

/plug for himself :P

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
