Hi all, I'm new to this forum but have been a part of r31skylineclub.com for a while now..

I have a nice loan under my belt to the tune of $20,000 and am looking at buying an R34 GTT. I know a fair bit about 31's, 32's and 33's but the 34 is fairly foreign to me. Could any of you tell me what I should look for in an R34 and where to go for a good deal (I'm in WA).

Tim.

I've seen ads in the Autotrader for R34's selling at $21,000 - $25,000...

What I'm more concerned about is the condition of the car, how to pick if it's still 'good to go', things like AWD over rear wheel drive and turbo or non-turbo and all that other sh*t.

Talk to Paul at autoworx http://www.autoworx.com.au/ I think the majority of r34s coming into have gone through him, he can do compliancing, importing and also sells cars he imports himself.

No worries, thanks for that.

So do any of you know much about the R34's? Whether to go triptronic or manual, turbo or non-turbo, AWD or RWD, 4 door or 2 door etc etc..?? :/

You'd want to go for a 2 door coupe, manual, turbo.

They only come in RWD.

That would be the R34 that is worth the most (after a GTR ofcourse.)

That's assuming you wouldn't mind a non turbo just for looks, an auto for comfort, or 4 doors if you have a family.

Yeah you'd need at least 25k for a manual, turbo, 2 door but it will probably have high KMs and be a bit rough.

Budget for at least, 28-30k i reckon.

Here you go...look through this and all ur questions will be answered. Its called the search function.

R34 topics

What's wrong with an auto sedan (it would be triptronic anyway?).

I don't mind paying far less for granny transmission.

The question is what right with an auto trans? Why buy a sports car and get auto? defeats the purpose.

starting line advantage? lol who cares?

only homosexuals and women buy auto sports cars. :D It's like driving a porsche boxter or a jeep wrangler, its just not right.

I would suggest test driving one at a car yard before making a purchase.

Homosexuals? An AUTO BF typhoon is currently the quickest 1/4 mile and 0-100 KM/H Aussie muscle car available! It beats manuals with more KW hands down... this not only goes for Falcons but for HSVs and even some Euros also! In a drag I rather an auto, with twisties then manual...

Putty, if you want an auto tip tronic then go for it...

Funny the new Porsche 911 Turbo is quicker in tiptronic auto than manual, guess Porsche are aiming at homos and women.

Get over jerking your stick.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
