    1999 R34 Gt-T

    in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)

    Posted

    Came back from checking the car.

    Engine:

    Very bad oil leaks. Something that looks like an engine mount located beside the two front tyres cracked both of them (forgotten whats the name). Timing belt has to be replaced. 4 tyres are worn out. Exhaust damaged still usable but have to change.

    Body:

    A few scracthes. A few rusty area. Body looks so old compared to other R34.

    HKS suspension with knocking sound. (common but don't like it so its my personal choice to change all of them cost around $2000 maybe.

    AND other problems.

    Cost a little over $2000 to repair everything.

    Seller reduced the price for me down to $10,500 but I'm just worried bout the rust. There might be rust in other place that I couldn't see.

    Opinion guys? Look for another car patiently or grab this one and fix it.

    Guys,

    There is a seller selling his car which is only 3 weeks after the import took place. No rego and no rwc obviously selling at $14000 on 78k.

    another one is 11500 at 90k (not new import) with rego but no rwc

    In your opinion, should I just get the one that has just arrived in australia?

    Both sellers told me they are willing to drive the car to my mechanic for a full check. So I guess they are confident in their car.

    WHICH ONE? OMGGGGGGGG

    i agree to a certain extent. there are plenty of things joe average cant pick up on. eg i inspected a subaru forester for sale with no RWC for a friend once, i declared it to be fine to pass RWC, only to have the inspecting officer say that the drivers seat needed replacing due to having too much wear on the padding! goes to show that its not always the simple stuff that matters.

    that makes perfect sense IF there is no problems.. otherwise that small sum of $80 can get pretty big!!

    In my experience, that is a very naive way to purchase a car.

    What i mean is, I will spend $80 to do a full RWC check to see if there is anything needed to repair in order to pass RWC, trust me I have enough experience in dealing with car without RWC. This is my sixth purchase and I got ripped off twice before and it is a serious one. The second one gave me a really hard time. It gets dragged on for 2 months. He just wouldnt leave me alone although I'm the victim. I learned it the hard way.

    Anyway, thanks for the advice. I will definitely post a picture if I bought the car.

    After some research, I think 17k for a 1999 r34 at 110000 kms onwards is really overpriced. Am I wrong?

    Thanks a lot guys. That was more than enough to answer my question. Car that comes with RWC does not mean anything. When I bought my R33, it comes with RWC but after I transfer the registration and take the car for a service, my mechanic told me there is an oil leak and several other problems that does not pass the RWC.

    From then on I do not care bout RWC because I will rather spend $80 on a full RWC check, engine check and let my mechanic have a look at the car before I buy any car.

    How often will a turbo failure occur if I don't always boost it. I am a polite and average driver who does not boost if I'm not on a freeway. I will only be using the freeway mayb once a month to visit my friends. Can the turbo last 5 years? The previous owner don't often boost it as well. Engine and turbo in a good condition.

    Will buy the car next week. Need to clarify this to remove any doubts that I have.

    skyline engines are pretty tough, the most common things that fail in the car are: turbo, afm, coilpacks and o2 sensor.

    Yes I changed my coilpacks to splitfire for my R33 GTS-T 2 years ago. Not sure bout afm and o2 sensor but the fuel economy is really bad. 250 to 300kms per full tank. Turbo is in good condition as it never been trashed.

    I hope that R34 has a good engine and turbo. Will find out in a few days.

    So how much does it cost to replace the turbo to the same one

    OR

    Remove the turbo if it fails.

    Rough figures so I know what to expect.

    Hi guys,

    What is the normal price for a R34 GT-T year 1999?

    AND

    Is R34 a good car to get? What is the common problem to look out for?

    I am from Melbourne.

    I am looking into getting a 1996 or above R33 GTS-T this month or next month. I'm surfing carsales everyday and other forums as well.

    My main concern is, will it be too late to get R33 nowadays? I don't see as many skyline around these days.

    Please advice if it is wise to get one now? I will make it my daily drive. I really love skyline.

    Thanks

    buy locally. you will struggle to get a half decent r33 imported for 10k. and unless you specifically want the look of the series 2 r33, i'd widen your search to include earlier r33's as you will be able to pick up tidy ones well inside your budget

    yes r33 series 2 looks nice and i never wanted to import. I'll buy locally. Found a few good looking ones but just wanted to know if r33 is getting too old to buy now?

    Hi guys,

    I am from Melbourne.

    I am looking into getting a 1996 or above R33 GTS-T this month or next month. I'm surfing carsales everyday and other forums as well.

    Some say it is better to import straight from japan.

    My budget is 10k. (Is it enough?)

    My main concern is, will it be too late to get R33 nowadays? I know the R32 is getting too old now.

    Please advice.

    Thanks

    Hi, I'm just wondering... For those who been saying they can get 450 to 550kms per tank... Is that even true? Cause me and my friend only get 400 max and everything stock...

    Just wondering hehe...

    And btw, after i get my 02 sensor changed, I did 380kms per full tank with a lot of traffic... (caltex premium)

    But the second week with (shell premium) I only manage to make 280 per full tank with almost no traffic...

    What the hell happen? If it is because of the different fuel I'm using... That is really very big difference...

    Can someone tell me what's wrong? O.o

    Thanks in advance...
