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?

there are heaps of skylines around that price for less k's.. i got mine with 51k on the clock.. and it's not a daily so it isnt really racking up the k's so you can get genuine ones..

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
