G'day guys, my name is sean and im looking at buying myself an R34 GTS25-T.

Im 21 from melbourne and have loved skylines for a very very long time and have finally seen the light.

Im after a manual but will prolly go auto, stock 2.5 litre turbo.

I dont know a great deal about the R34's, are the NEO 6 engines the only ones out for 2.5L T or do they still have RB25DET's.

Do all GTT's have the 3 gauges above the center of the dash or do they differ, because ive seen some with little LCD screens in there and one i looked at at a yard today had nothing there at all.

What sort of problems am i to encounter with a NEO6, do they suffer oil leaks, boost probs, weak parts etc.

Im looking for one at about the 50-80000km mark, is there anything i should be mindfull of when purchasing.

How easy are the NEO engines to add an aftermarket cooler to? Im not looking to overly mod this car but i would like to fit a bigger cooler and BOV.

Are Aftermarket Stereo Head units easy to fit into the console or do they require some messing with?

Im to understand the NEO6 has 205KW at the fly and 333Nm Torque, what are these figures when transferred to the wheels? What is the diff ratio?

What can i do about discoloured / cloudy headlights, ive noticed especially with the R33's the headlights they discolour alot, i know with fords you can get 1600 grit sandpaper and slowly scrub away at the glass and they come up like new if done right, are R34 lights plastic or glass?

How pricey are parts, stock and aftermarket performance. (My theorys always been if it breaks replace it with something better and faster)

Thats probably about it for now, if anyone bothers to reply, thanks in advance.

R34's are GT-T not GTS25T

the turbo version has the NEO RB25DET

some good polish should clean up those headlights (some have even used toothpaste)

goodluck champ, and welcome to SAU forums ;)

;) atmospheric BOV is a bad idea, entering the world of skylines gets you a free pass to the police most wanted list. Plumback is probably your best option

* Factory option of gauges or LCD screen (maybe option of neither but propably screen removed)

* In the tutorials theres a "What to look for when buying a skyline" thread which you should learn word for word before going to check out a car. Tells you what all the trouble areas are and what to look out for. As with most imports the dials are wound back so look in the engine bay for a sticker with any mention of 100,000km. Dont get suckered in to the whole japanese dont drive there cars much, less wear means less km which i fell for. Was shown the sticker a few weeks ago so my "74,000km import" became an 110,000km+ import.

* Ridiculously easy... ash tray, few bolts, clips and your done.

* So many different methods (toothpaste, kitten cut and polish (my choice), plexiglass cleaner etc) theres a thread about it.

* Pretty expensive when something goes wrong but the aftermarket parts arent too bad in comparison to other makes of cars, all up to how much you care about name brands like everything else :rofl:

Welcome to the forums, head over to the Victoria forums to get info on cruises and meetings etc

Thanks alot for the help guys.

I went and looked at another one at SEI Autos in dandy, it had 88k, was a manual, i talked him to 20k flat.

I dont trust the other dude then cause the lcd was missing all together.

Where can i find decent skylines in the mornington peninsula area? ive only found 2 in dandy atm.

Thanks again.

If you're looking at getting a GTT then you won't be getting an LCD screen. They are only on GTR's. You'll either get the three guages or nothing. I'm not too sure what determines guages or no guages though. Good luck with the search.

The GTT could also come with a screen however it was used for navigation (I think) or was it able to pick up their TV stations or something?

It's a screen nonetheless.

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
