they are a dealer offering a full warranty and support

you cant compare their prices to brokers like jspec and prestige , you could get absolutly anything with them and all risk is on you

some people are quite prepared to pay a bit extra for convinience and service . remember this a business supporting people and their families here

You should visit NorthShorePrestige they have a couple of R34 coupes for around $23k.

Yes true, but there are dealers who are cheaper and have better cars with warranty and support for alot cheaper. Everyone is starting to drop their prices now on 34's and they need to look at least at starting to be competitive or people will just think they are a joke. I doubt the service part, seen lots of bad posts about service and when i went in there to buy my 34 they were hopeless. Weren't interested in what i wanted to buy only what they wanted to sell. And even then when I did look at the car it was not in the good of condition as the price tag would of recommended, with competitors like Japlink down the road even though their reputation may not be the best either at least they are competing on price.

Either way, each to their own and congratulations on your skyline purchase clippy.

the only 23k r34 they have is a auto sedan

these are cheap everywhere , if lees are charging more than about 24-25 then yes they are over priced

your going to need much more for a nice manual coupe tho so keep saving if you want something nice

this is going by their website

I was down there last week @ NSP and they have a '98 coupe in silver GTT for $23k i think it is an auto though, they did have some manuals and i think those were starting at $24-$25k but like anywhere if they want to sell a car they will negiotate.

But like mentioned above if you want something really nice, you are better off saving up as prices are still on their way down.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
