heya people. I am looking to buy a new car, I wont be able to buy an Evo IX so i am going to settle for a Nissan for the time being :happy:

I have had a liking for the R34 GTT models for a long time now, and am weighing up bewtween that and an S15 as they are similarly priced.

I like the R34 for its rarity over the 200SX but performance wise ie money/performance im not sure between the 2.

I have read that the R34 GTT came with 206kw but i thought that was the GTR model, so i cant work that one out.

I was hoping someone could recomend me an importer, or more preferably a model thats already in Australia available to be test driven.

I am based in melbourne.

Thankyou

Go see SSV in oakleigh.

Settle for a R34?? they are heaps better performance wise than an s15 (and looks for that matter, but maybe im being a little bias)

As for the 206kw, thats what they are at the flywheel, the GTR is much more than that, but for various reasons (legal) they (Nissan Japan) had to state that the GTR is 206kw.

Basically, you wont be disspointed with a 34, just ask anyone who owns one.

Yep there 206kw at the flywheel but there is alot more to a GTR than Kilowatts.

Test drive a few and get the feel of them and then you can decide whats a good well kept car and whats not.

I asked myself the same questions too. R34GTT or S15.

But having owned a R32 before, my natural tendency was towards another skyline or at least something RB powered.

Both very nice cars though, i'm sure you'll like either one of them.. but R34's also get more looks on the street, probably because you see less of them.

J-Spec is a very good melbourne based importer. www.j-spec.com.au i think is the website. Got my R34 through them.

yeah, you could get a nice conditioned turbo, coupe for $27-$28 on the road these days. Speak to the J-Spec boys, they should let you look at the 34's coming in the auctions for a week or so. Join their mailing list too as there are quite a few coming through on that.

and see my signature as well :)

cheers

oh yeah, 34's are rad :(

Well a stock GTT is around 150rwkw....

If you want to save a few ks then importing one from Japan is the way to go. But yeah go for the 34 you wouldnt be dissapointed with it overall performance, gets plenty of looks as well when goin down the street.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
