Hey guys, is 90,000 kms a little high for a R34 Gtt? There's another one i'm currently looking at, seems to all be in place, but am worried about the k's, seeing as I plan to keep the car a for a good couple years. The majority seem to sell around 110,000-120,000k's on the net.

Are they reliable after 100,000 or is that when you move on?

Hiya, Welcome to SAU! And stick around!

If my daily to the left is on its way to 300000Km, I see no reason why the R34 GT-T can't do likewise.

Have all the services been done already up till now? Very important that! Receipts/logs?

So whilst the 100000Km service is coming up, and if it's a car in wonderful cond. can't you haggle the price to accommodate that big service? Provided that all of the above is kosher?

Put up pics if you get it eh?

Cheers,

Tez :D

I can get it for 21. Its got rims, exhaust, coil overs, pod. The main reason I ask is because I can get a S15 with 50,000 k's for that price, with rims and exhaust. I generally prefer the skyline but it sure is tempting.

and no, I do not want to start up the old 34 vs. 15 debate.

What year is the car?

For Example, its a 1998 model (10 year old car) with 90 000k's, which works out to be 9000k's driven per year. Divided by 12 months (1 year) = 750k's driven per month = 187.5k's driven per week.

Its probley only done 1 to 2 oil changes per year (Thats if its done a service at 5000k's).

So the car has hardly been driven, cause Iam sure we all in AUS could easily rack up atleast 250k's - 400k's per week if a car is a daily.

So I would not say its too high.

90kms is fine, 150kms is fine, too, like everyone's said, they'll go up to 300kms if you treat it right.

We've had a 98 34 GTT come in from Japan with 27,200 on the clock (with logbooks). It was an auto, which usually have less from Japan, but it does happen. We try to buy cars with around 70-80 on the clock.

More importantly, just go by the condition of the car. Get it checked out if you're not too familiar with skylines, or if the dealer seems dodgy. Or just get it checked out anyways, can't hurt, right?

350,000 km's GTST

http://skylinesdownunder.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56559.

My R34's a daily and I clock about 300k's a week. Currently at 170,000k's still running strong as. I wouldn't even worry about the car at 100,000 k's.

As long as it's well looked after I don't see why it can last past 300,000k's like above.

Think about it... 10,000kms a year and 10 years is 100,000... and i wouldn't exactly call that heavy use either.

In Aus your gonna clock up on average what, 15-20k a year? Adds up fast.

Nothing wrong with a RB if its serviced and looked after, just like any other car on the road.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
