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

Thanks for the advice,

Nice S14 u got there =)

Did u get the GTT in the end? Hows the cost of maintenance for it? Im very apprehensive in getting a turbo cos this will be my daily driver and i dont think my gf can drive one on her P's.

Also, hows the reliability of the Tiptronic box? Any issues or known problems with it?

Cheers

Hi there, I just pick up this little black gem a 1999 4 door R34 GT-V 5speed manual NON Turbo with 50500 k's on the clock, its in very good condition paid 20K for her, she's an absolute pleasure to drive. One very happy Skyline owner! :no:

i paid 14500 for mine about a year ago. stock non turbo automatic, nothing major wrong with it, centre console paint is starting to fall apart thats about it. I've heard this happens a bit does anyone else know anything about it or fixes? They are great for a daily driver auto is good in traffic.

Negatives - people trying to race u just cause u have a skyline, getting shit for owning an n/a skyline (lucky mrs drives ours)

I wish i had held out a little longer and got a GTT manual, i would go for a drive in both first because it won't be long till you crave more power, i'm probly gonna drop a half cut in mine, if u get the an n/a for the right price at least you could do that in the future when your off your P's

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • 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
