Hey

Im in the market for an R34 skyline...just left my job and company car...{380 VRX s3}

Iv been looking around on the web and some car yards

Anyway to cut a long story short found this R34 the other day:

Would anyone be able to give me some advise as to what to check or question about the R34 in general when buying?

Thax

Whats your reason for selling?

bit over it. wanting to go 4wd. since i busted up with the mrs been getting back into my hobbies again more heavily, shooting, fishing and the like and a skyline isnt really appropropriate.

^^^ +1

nice car and definitely worth about 70k...not 78

with the yen taking a dive; the sellers taking advantage of it...think about it; that gtr is probably 4.3-4.6million yen + 20% taxes to land it here + shipping and profit

I dont think that's a Vspec II, looks like it just has the bonnet.

That car was built by Top Secret for some famous Japanese baseball player, its got his name on the customised leather front seats.

I bought my 34 of SSV a few years ago, they are great to deal with and have very clean cars.

Right so hear is were im at...

Basically the GT-R was in good condition (Sounded unbelievable!) however not as good as oh-low s by the looks of his photos.

Had a look at the car up close the other day, as PAV34 said it was owned by a famous Japanese baseball player

who took it to top secret and spent about $30,000 on it.

Going to catch up with oh-low at some point to check out his 34.

btw:

Are there any local meets in which are going to happen in the next week in either Sydney or Melbourne?

Travel between the two states frequently for work.

Thax again

Mike

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
