Looking To Buy A Na R34

[ewhs]

Hi guys,

Thinking of changing to an Auto skyline, probably a NA R34 ( 2 or 4 door)

Care to share some ownership experiences? =)

Any advise on what to look out for?

What is a reasonable price for one of these?

Thanks

i paid 20 all up for my r34, fresh from japan, but that included getting it converted to manual over in japan.

you can get some decent looking one from about 16 upwards

My first skyline was an auto R34 25GT..absolutely loved it, but the lack of power got to me and I ended up turbocharging it...it got stolen and written off though

I'm now selling my second skyline, another auto R34, this one is a GTt...not sure on your situation, but I can highly recommend the GTt over the 25GT.

Personally I love the car, I just need a change after being in an R34 for over 5 years

Thanks for the reply~

I have to get an auto non turbo cos my fiance is on P's and can only drive auto.....tired of being her driver so its time that i get driven around haha

tats why im seriously thinking of a R34........I saw a couple of NA R34 4 doors selling arnd 15K...very tempting but i wonder if the NA R34's performance is comparable to my NA 33

lol i got a na r34 auto coz parents drive every once in a blue moon anyway they are hella fun to drive just get one lol! power is aplenty it is after rb25de, get the 2 door version coz itd be lighter. handles like a genius and get about 500k per tank

i would think that an r34 n/a power would be roughly the same as a r33 n/a i mean its the same size engine, RB25

[R-SPEC]

non turbo r34 makes ~200kw

thats ~13kw more than a turbo r33

but n/a r34 torque is about the same as a non turbo r33

[MissR34]

no an r34 non turbo does not make 200 kw, it makes about 148 kW at the flywheel but that is new though

when i got my car it was making 101 stock at the wheels

that's about right accounting for drivetrain loss.

Hello i have a Skyline R34 25GT and i Adore her she is the best car i have owned the old owner done some bad s^%t To her.

But i slowly rebuilding her to her glory its a pi%^ off but i can not leave her as she is.

At a distance you will see nothing Wrong with her but up close i have to Repaint, knock out a dent or two and she be right.

Its a Neo St8 six under the hood with a Hybird Gearing (Tiptronic)

And she is a joy to drive. Hell if i could buy the fuel i will drive to South Aus to say hello and good bye to Miss R34 just for FUN.

P.s I got that skyline for $16,000 dollers.

Hmmm. My RB25 made 115rwkw, with catback exhaust and a pod. I didn't think it would make much difference though?

Does anyone think any internal mods could have been done? I've always wondered this myself, but the previous seller never stated so.

It's only out of an R33 Series 1, so it hasn't even got VCT.

whichever mechanic told you that is full of it

[Brent]

Are you saying all R33's have VCT?

If so I didn't know this... No mechanics told me it, I just read it somewhere... Probably wikipedia or something inaccurate like that. It was a while ago. Hell, I could even be imagining that this is the case.

Maybe previous owner didn't know or was lieing that it came out of an R33.

Is there any visible way I can tell whether it has VCT?

Thanks...

Here is my engine:

only the RB25DE (from the R32) didn't come with VCT.

and the only R33 i am 99% sure which doesnt have VCT are the ones equipped with RB20 non turbo motors.

the VCT solenoid plug is on the intake side near cylinder one

Thanks for all the advice guys

The N/A R34 is a really good platform. I have the 4 door, which is more unique as you don't see as much but they weight a little more than the 2 dr..

I would be looking at 15k and up for a decent one. Handles really well and looks the part.

At the end of the day it's all down to preference..

x2..

You need all the power you can get with an NA.. and the VVL really gives it a bit more..

[Charles89]

r u gonna import 1 or buy 1 locally?

coz importing a 4 door 34 is really cheap....about 13-14k. but a 2 door would cost u a bit more
