Hey Guys,

My 86' Celica has served me well but like all old things it is falling apart and I need something new. I have my eyes on two cars at the moment I know you'll probably think this is preety gay. But im looking at getting a 4 door, Automatic ECR34. I've got two choices, I can either move towards a 2000 model four door silver one from Power Rd Motors in Dandenong, or a 1998 Black ECR34 from SEI motors. Can anyone help me make up my mind. The stats are as following.

SEI MOTORS BLACK SKYLINE

Price: $14,900

Vehicle: 1998 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 25GT

Body: SEDAN

Colour: BLACK

Transmission: Automatic

Kilometres: 90,110

Engine: 6 cylinder Petrol Multi-point injected 2.5 (2500cc)

Reg Plate: UNREG

VIN: 6U90000ER34005814

Stock#: 005814

The steering wheel seemed a bit worn, and the black tape crap on the side was slightly peeling, and one the rear light just above the keyhole on the boat was slightly worn. Bill the guy who owned the store, told me he'd give it to me for 16,300 with all on road costs.

Price: $15,990

Vehicle: 2000 NISSAN SKYLINE ECR34

Body: SEDAN

Colour: silver Metalic

Transmission: Automatic

Kilometres: 54,000

Engine: 6 cylinder Petrol Injected 2.5 (2498cc)

Reg Plate: AS91

VIN: rb25 375449a

Stock#: AS91

Extremely tiny rusted dent in the middle of the bonet, impossible to notice. Everything seemed to be in perfect condition, the leather on the handbreak seemed slightly worn but other than that it looked great. Just don't like the front bumper reminds me of a bloody Ford BA or something.

PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE GUYS

Search in the Vic Section for information about these dealers mate. Don't wanna cause any trouble, but Sei Motors don't seem all that good in my opinion. Have a search and decide for yourself about these places.

Cheers

Nothing gay about the 4dr R34 NA...a pretty good upgrade from ur celica actually....

Personally I would not pick either of the above...especially with all those faults. Keep on looking is my advice...

sorry, i was at SEI, have been into power road one to look around, real arrogant c*nt when i was there, but when four young guys rock up asking for test drives you normally get that... apparently if you go with an old bloke (call him 'dad') they'll be real friendly

Yeah, I know what you mean about the guys at power rd. I always go there to check out a few cars with my brother and they never come out to 'serve' us. We just keep looking at the cars trying to make it look like we're wanting a car and they still didn't come out. Don't understand how they sell there cars. It's mostly young guys buying imports.

It seems like the shop on power rd are better quality than the ones at sei, but I would rather buy from a private person.

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
