Hi everyone,

Have just purchased a '98 R34 GTt and was interested in an comments or suggestions with regards to performance and cosmetic mods.

In the past have owned a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am (6.6L) and BMW 535i so am also interested in peoples comments about the driving experience.

Thanks for your imput and looking foreword to being part of the clan.

I'm in Melbourne and got it from Japcars in Fawkner, they only import Skylines. Has anyone else had experience with these guys?

Also, can anyone confirm if the standard immobiliser in the R34 meets Australian Standards for insurance?

Thanks for the feedback.

Bought my car from them... Wouldnt go back for servicing or anything else..

The car is great.. But they are questionable

^^

As he has said, wouldnt take car there.. Nice car champ!

Cosmetic, i think they look good, dont touch it.

Performance as adam said, exhaust, cooler, boost, coilovers!

More power, better handling.

ANYONE that suggests Adam to do any mods to this nice STANDARD GTT

(Well the exhaust is already on here) will be EXTERMINATED! :P

You have been warned! LOL

Thats true, ive got a pretty much sstock car as you can see, had it for a month exactly now and i dont want to do it up too much. I think the car looks great as it is.. The only thing would be some nice mags and maybe dumping it

Nice car Adam. Keep it clean and tidy. Black is hard, having just sold a lovely black R33 but they are so nice. I'm even tempted to get the XR8 ute in black.

Greg you old bastard, come for a visit, and bring the AMG y'hear. Racing Thurs and need a pit crew and spare car :P

Nice car.... But if you are going to do anything PLEASE get rid of them rims, anything would be better than them, but if you get some good ones you will improve the way it looks a million times over. Its black so its got massive potential!!

As for performance, as mentioned above, exhaust, boost controller, fr mount & Power FC

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
