Hi all, firstly I'll like to greet everyone in the forum!

I own a 180sx Type-X and planning to trade it in within the next 2 weeks or so for a R34 GT.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post it.

But basically I want where and how much I can get the spoiler for it, exact same ones as the stock turbo ones.

It just doesn't look that great without it..

Also is $16.5k decent for a R34 GT that's done just under 100k?

Thanks for all your help. :(

this is true, youll be hard pressed i think to find a decent GT that cheap, id be budgeting for at least 19k minimum not to mention insurance and rego, just keep that in mind, but it would only take a few minutes to find some on carsales or carpoint, check them out and see what u can find

I'd say $16.5k is pretty decent. Are you sure you wanna go from turbo to an NA though? I don't know your situation, but I have a feeling you might regret it.

I guess test drive it and if you like it then it's up to you. :)

Thanks guys.

Well reason being from going turbo to NA is cause I've speeding too much lately. Lucky I haven't been caught yet, and its just chewing up too much $ for maintanence.

I've decided to go NA but still have the looks,

So the R34 GT was my choice. I mean I would consider a GTT, but that'll cost an extra 8k or so. Not to mention the insurance cost for it... omg I don't even want to think about it lol.

I'll be going for a test drive this saturday to see if there's that much of a big difference from the 180 I've got now anyway.

So does anyone know where I can buy a rear spoiler to make it look more of a sexy beast? :D

Cheers

have you ever thought about/tried to drive around at lower speeds?

seems pretty logical to me.

well........ you'll be more likely than not to speed when you're driving a turbo.

Seems pretty logical to me.

Anyways the main question is the rear spoiler purchase. Anyone?

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
