They can trade in some GTR's and stagera for a few of out trophies!

I'd trade an R32 GTR for an E30 M3 Evo III or Ravaglia, even in LHD

There are an abundance of Skylines here, but with England about the size of WA I suppose its just more concentrated there, we only have a population of some 20Million, something like London??

Pardon my total ignorance BUT are there not many GTR`s in OZ?  Why not?

'cause they're friggin expensive here! Like $90k (~45,000 pounds) for an R34 GT-R and most people that buy them here are under 35 (generalising a bit).. which kinda means you have to be earning a crapload of money to be able to afford a decent GT-R.

And for that price here there are plenty of alternatives which seem to grab people that can be had for new with all the warranty crap (Boxsters, Honda 2000's, BMW's, HSV GTS, Mercs, etc).

Just done the conversions on those figures and they are all cheaper than the UK prices.

R32 maybe starts about the same.

Also an R33 but these will be VERY rough at this price and most are a lot more.

R34 we have no hope of getting at the price - would need around 100k aus for that.

$75 large for an R34 GTR in Australia??

Where would this be at? I've been keeping an eye on R34 prices

since I bought mine in July & I have not seen one for less than

$95 k.The last Unique cars had 6 for sale between $95 & $125.

These prices seem to be fairly stable compared to the R33 GTR.

For half the money of an R34 the R33 GTR is really great value.

A new Honda S2000 is $80,400.Not too much more to stretch to the R34 GTR & much more satisfying.Great with the top down & cruising through town etc, but the Honda really needs to be driven hard to get the best out of it & by the time the VTEC has cut in the R34 would be on the horizion.Nothing like the torque of

a twin turbo RB26 to motivate you.

On that note, I drove a new 911 turbo the other day & couldn't

believe how quick it was.It comes on boost much quicker than the R34 & just pulls like a train from 2000 - 6000rpm.Very impessed.

Pity they cost more than twice what a NEW VspecII R34 GTR would cost.

Great to see so many tough R34s in UK.Cant wait to see more here.

Do you guys drag your street cars over there?

Skyline fan.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
