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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
