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

Hi, im thinking of buying one locally, not sure of the import procedures and im not confident of buying a vehicle without having a test drive or visual inspection

=)

How much do you think i shld pay for a 2 door?

Hi guys

I have another qn on the differnces between the R34 GT-X and GT sedan (1998-2000 S1 model)

Apart from the front strut bar and xenon headlamps, are there any other differences interms of the factory specifications?

Thanks!

Ewhs: i paid 16k for mine i will not go much higher than about 20k just not worth it man u can buy GTT for 21k+

but good luck there like a needle in a hay stack when mine was up for sale i bounced on that like a female at a myer sale :D

Sat in my GT R34 and then BOOM she had me hooked as soon as i turned on the motor :)

You'd be suprised though, quality fluctuates badly. I've had tools trying to get my GTt for 18K as they've seen one there cousin Meppy has bought for the same price and think they can get one too. Yeah well cousin Meppy just bought two halves welded together and the interior is rough.

I've now told 3 people to bugger off with offers only $500 under what I wanted, I'm not giving them a free bonanza! Look around and you'll find something decent for a good price. Definately under $20K my R34 is a GTt and is fairly mint with over $10K of mods....I'm chasing $23000 so you should be able to get a good priced car.

Hi 666Dan,

Ur car really looks mint, considering the mods, 23k is pretty attactive, too bad im not in the market for a turbo =P

18K? must be joking , thats probably what i will pay for a stock 98 model =)

u deserve better offers than that mate =)

Expect to pay more for a stock car..

Expect to pay more for an NA locally too.. these P plater laws have inflated NA's to rediculous prices!.. SSS's (for eg.) are STUPIDLY expensive!

thanks for the tip, i didnt know that stock car commands a higher price

saw quite a few AT turbo GT-Ts going at arnd 18k...

very attractive but im sticking to NA due to insurance and P plater laws haha

yup u r right i sold my NA MT R33 GTS S2 for arnd 11k a couple of weeks back and since regretted it =P

hey guys,

found a 98 R34 sedan GTX for 12k No visible rust ,car done 70k and stock as a rock

any comments?

thanks =P

Seems like a very good price for the GTX model, as it is basically a turbo model without turbo features. Not entirely sure on specs but i think you'll find they have the same suspension, wheels, brakes as the turbo model but still a non-turbo.. maybe some more features too but that's all i can confidently say i know.

have to disagree with lanky ^ in that an NA GT-X is basically a turbo spec car. if you look through the translated links (hopefully they work) with spec tables of each model you'll find that the NA GT-X doesn't have the same 'Mechanism' or "Tyre/Wheel" specs as the turbo models. Where if you look at the GT-V column it does share the same items as the turbo models (2nd link shows this better, click on 'major equipment list').

click through all the links anyway and have a read for yourself.

hope this helps you some more

Hi Reggie

Thanks for the input. In fact im pretty confused about the specs of the NA sedans as per my earlier post. I referred to the website u have posted and for 98-00 models there are no GTV models. only GT and GTX . GTV models are only available from series 2. As for the specs. my understanding is GTX has front strut bar xenon headlamps and 16 inch rims over the GT spec... not sure if thats correct though

Need further advice on this

Regards

Thanks for the links Reggi34dr, just the info I was looking for.

ewhs check out this sublink if you haven't already: http://72.14.203.104/translate_c?hl=en&amp...SPEC/soubi.html

Compares all the S2 models.

Thanks Dicer =p

Visited the page before but its a literal transalation from katakana haah had a good laugh over it

S2 has much better specs even for its base models but dun really like the front bar though

Thanks for clearing that up. Is it the GTV with similar spec or am i totally off the ball here?

Not exactly true on there being no GT-V's in the Series 1 run. The GT-V's first rolled out Sept/Oct 1999 making them a S1 which is what mine is. This is probably the reason the GT-V only shows up in Series 2 brochures, specs sheets, etc.

Yeah lanky, just the GT-V. From what I've noticed the GT-X has the florally/stripey interior keeping it inline with the rest of the NA models where the GT-V has the same 2 tone interior as the turbo models. Thats probably the easiest way to tell the difference between a NA GT-X and a GT-V, without lifting the bonnet or getting down and looking for the HICAS. the GT-V will the the GT-T 17" mags anway, another easy visual clue.

My 98 R34 has dun 40,000kms but that very low really. 70,000kms is good, fair amount for the year and type of car.

I was also in this predicament a little while ago, either a 34 25GT or a GTT. Both auto.

Let me say, the auto is magic, i was VERY reluctant to get an auto GTT but the tiptronis is far beta than i thort and brings power on much much better than using nrml auto mode.

Good luck searching buddy

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
