So after I lost my license, I was told when I handed it in that once I got it back in 6 months I would have to complete the 3 months I had left and that would be that.

Went back in to VicRoads the other day to buy some custom plates (UNR34L) and it turns out the girl I spoke to first had it wrong, my license was canceled. Which means I have to start from scratch again. Hooray for another three years of NA lovin'.

I already sold my 33 GTS because I figured I'd be upgrading into a GT-T or possibly a Supra, but it looks like I'm going to have to revert back to just a plain old GT.

Anyway, no real point to this post, just a bit of a rant.

Before anyone jumps on me yelling that I deserved I will refer you to this post; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Do...=dont+be+a+hoon

I do have a few questions about the R34 actually.

How roomy is are the back seats in the R34 Sedan and Coupe? Is the coupe similar to the R33 two door?

How about the boot, bigger or smaller than the 33?

Can you get a GT4 in a two door? I've only seen sedans.

On carsales I see a lot of automatic and semi-automatic, are they all triptronic or are some cars fully automatic?

Hopefully I'll get around to a dealership to look at some over the coming weeks, but any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

R34 Sedan is actually reasonably spacious. I quite often have a full car on various occasions without any complaints from backseat passengers. Don't expect it to be as spacious as say a luxury falcon or commodore, but considering it's a Skyline it's still quite roomy and comfortable for backseat passengers.

I'm not completely sure in comparison to the 2 Door R34, but for a sports car, the boot is very big! You can fit quite a lot! For example, I've been able to fit in a large suitcase, the 15" sub in a 1.5 cu.ft. box, and still have more room to fit more.

i have the front seat right back in my r34 sedan im 5"10 and there is hardly no room for back seat passengers, they arent that roomy in my opinion.... if your smaller and have the seat forward the leg room might be acceptable.....

Good to know. I'm 6'0" so Coupe or Sedan the back is gonna be squashy regardless.

No complaints with a full car.

Compared to a S15 / S14 or a N15 Pulsar ..

R34 does well in space in the back.. thats with my Coupe atleast :P

Heh, I didn't see this till just recently.

Yeah, I'm looking for a manual Coupe, but they're so rare. I may even import my own car. I'd love a GT4 but they're rare in Japan too.

Dunno, I'm going to do a lot of research this week regarding loans etc. If I can get decent loan I might import my own, otherwise I'll just keep saving till I get my license back and buy privately.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
