Ok guys im pretty keen on getting an R34 n/a for the missus. I wanna get a manual but its looking like i have to get an auto simply coz there's more out there and the manual is heeeeaps more.

How do the auto 34's go? Are they alrite cruisers? I drove a couple and it seemed ok, but maybe after a few months it would give ya the shits????

Also,

The guy importing it can put me onto a workshop that can convert it to manual for a couple grand. Would it be worth it? He rekons u dont need to change the computer and its pretty much a straight swap.

All opinions welcome....

EDIT: One last thing, i have a 3inch cat back zorst that was from me old 33 GTS-t, would that fit on the 34?

Expect a drop of up to 10rwkw.. on the road it translates to nothing really, as the kick back to 3rd is pretty quick (fourth is really just a stall convertor). You'll make up the difference with an exhaust easily.

Yeah the R34 Tiptronics arent that bad to tell you the truth, ive been in a 2Dr Tippo and they hammer aswell.

In regards to the conversion, sorry man wouldnt have a clue.. Ask the guys in the Drivetrain and Transmission side :)

Can i put 91 petrol in it seeing as its n/a?

No, you're not meant to. 95 octane is the minimum recommended fuel for your car (and most imports). My previous car had a head gasket issue, that I suspect was caused by running it on regular unleaded for an extended period of time.

My GTT in its stock form was a bag of fun, this was coming from driving a 2.8L 5 Series BMW... The auto was quite easy to "tolerate" but I would highly recommend the gearbox overhaul from MV Automatics (about $3K-$4K for the whole works)

My latest conversion has come together very nicely... lots of R&D and once off parts required but it was worth it; RB2630 - never looking back now!

haha i was just about to say lol .

" Honey, the cars pulling alot lately, i seem to be going faster then normal traffic " .. " whats this boost gauge and turbo timer .. and constant whistling .. and vroom-chhhhhhhhhhhh "

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
