Hi all,

After driving my R33 series 2 for 2 years I sold it last year... and miss it so much now that I have a boring 07 Corolla... lol

I was toying with the idea of checking out some R34 GTTs...

Perhaps if I find the right one, I can trade or sell my Corolla and buy an R34.

What is the current market for them now? I could imagine them going for anywhere from 19-25 grand for a clean one being more expensive.

Ideally Im looking for a turbo tiptronic, silver and with no more than 70,000 KMs (I know most skylines have their clocks wind back).

Any ideas on how much one would cost like this?

Didn't you sell your R33 cuz of petrol prices were going up? LOL!

Well since they are lower now, its a good time to get a R34 GTT.

Speak to David from Carizma International, he is a memeber on here and he's got 2 x R34 GTT's for sale from $16,900 to $21,900.

Yeah I bought a house and wanted an economical car that will last for ages... too bad for me the petrol prices went right down and interest rates fell flat!! I fixed my house loan as well! So now I am bored of the corolla, I had it for 6 months.

The good thing is that imports have dropped heaps in value :)

Ill keep my eye out for a clean r34.

To top it all off my GF bought a Toyota Prius few weeks after I got my Corolla... so we have a very fuel efficient car...

Id love something like this:

Yeah I see... All the best.

Acutaly how good is the Prius on fuel? I was just wondering about the how Hybrid System they have.

As petrol prices sky rocked to like $1.79 at one stage I remember, I thought to myself why are we all not driving Priuses..?

LOL! Ok, they are not the best looking car in the world but...

That R34 looks quite good. I always like that front bar on the R34 GTT's. Is it a Nissan factory option aero bodykit front bar?

1000 KMs on one tank, city driving is easy.

It actually uses around 4 litres per 100 KMs as long as you dont go over 60 KM/h to much IMO.

It uses mostly battery power right up until 45 KM/h.

They do look bland but they can grow on you like most cars.

My GF did the right thing as far as economy goes on petrol. :P

Yeah that R34 front bar is the best with those slits on the side... I love it. I think 2000 + models have it.

The "Shark" front bar is the Factory option kit. Alita or something or other made it. It was available from the 98 release date of the R34. 2000+ series two models got a really really (and I mean REALLY) ugly update front bar, and trust me, it would look better burning!

WTF! 1000KMs in 1 tank! Thats awesome!

I do about 250KMs a week in my R32 and thats about half a tank. If I had that fuel economy I would not have to fill up for like 2 weeks a month. LOL!

So Prius FTW for fuel economy!

Yeah Prius is great on fuel. :D

So I dunno i might just put my corolla on the market and sell it if I get a good price then just drive around in the Prius and keep the cash or wait till I come across a really clean R34... was c onsidering going to SSV in Huntingdale (good car yard) but they usually charge a lot more for their cars. I bought my R33 there in 2006 for 18 K and sold it for 13 K in 2008.

Yeah for sure.

I guessing the longer you wait the cheaper R34 GTT's will get, so you have got the upper hand... Just wait and keep hunting around at the same time saving up the cash and you will score a good one.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
