Hey guys, cheers for the info, ive opted for the R34 at last :)

Im just waiting for my loan to get approved, and off to buy the car then BOOM! pictures galore !! haha

I'll give you guys some information when it comes to hand, my dad looked at the R34 this sunday and loved it to death, he was sceptical at first because underneath the rubber seals in the boot there was rust, but he reassued me that he'll fix it himself.

Then he went around the car looking at the paint work, then engine bay, then the interior.

Looks great, then got the owner to jack up the car and dad started to work with it underneath, checked everything and then gave me a nod.

Hahaha that was my hektik sunday !!

It only copped rust near the boot, where the seal had a little whole that had water going through.

it was only a small rust, the car comes with GTR BRAKE system which hasnt been installed yet, dads gonna do that, and it comes with gauges and original wing aswell.

go for an autech S15 iv driven an N/A R34 and my gf just bought an R33 N/A they are pretty weak the s15's have some punch in them and throw you back in the seat all and all just much more fun to drive plus most of the autech S15's come with almost 7 grand mods already attached to them much better buy

i didnt buy my r34 from a private seller i got it from power road carsales in vic so its a bit far away for you to come down and take a look. is your r34 your looking at a 2 door or 4 door?

when i was looking for a skyline i was going to get a r32 or r33 i never even considered getting an r34 until i turned up and had a look at one and took it for a test drive. plus it was 4 door, something different. and i love it. just remember if you have stock coilpacks in the car they will die sooner than later especially worse on a hot day (thats when mine died) so i bought splitfire ones and its all good.

agreed i would take an autech S15. but they are dearer.

rust in the boot, common problem around the centre brake light apparently.

Rust scares me, if i found any i would pull out. but i could be being anal.

If its where you can see it then where is it that you cant see

Yeah i guess so, im just waiting for the funds to be approved, i hope it does, but i got a gut feeling it wont because ive only been employed here for 3 months and they might not consider that as a stable income -.- .

I swear if it comes back declined im gonna' be so depressed !! haha

Definitely the R34. The R33 is losing its class these days, so many scummers drive them. I went and test drove an R34 with my mate the other day, and I reckon up close and in person they look like a seriously mean car. Meaner than the 33, which just looks sexy.

I'd love an Autech S15!!!

Agree though they are a fair bit dear.

I remember when was around 17, seeing my first skyline r33 in the flesh, was a white R33 GTST around Garden City (SOR Perth).

I was impressed by how clean it was, and how fresh the design was compared to the falcons & commies of the day.

Unfortunately these days 33 GTSTs are common as muck, but still a much more beautiful kinda of muck compared to some of the crapodores out there.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
