R34s are still over priced and at 50k you are probably getting the higher k ones, the higher k ones are starting to show up pretty often for rebuilds now so factor in that too!

Just had a quick look and 45k will get you a new SS Commodore, Ford 6 turbo or an XR5 Mondeo...

The 34 won't depreciate nearly as badly as a new car. May aswell by an 08/09 Commodore/Ford and save yourself 15k.

I've already got an 05 xr6, I really want to get into a gtr; something different than the old taxi. I don't really give two shits about the depreciation on the skyline, it'll be something I'll keep for a number of years to come which is why I was thinking a 34 gtr or a rebuilt 32 like the one that's for sale on here at the moment.

Bunta, what do you mean by alot of them are coming in for rebuilds? Any particular reason or do they kick the bucket after 100k or so?

Buy this one

Very well priced for what you get.

I don't know of any specific problems with the 34, I assume they will have the same problems as the 32s and 33s being poor oil control and ceramic turbos dying.

They shouldnt kill oil pumps like the earlier 32s though since they have the bigger oil pump drive on the crank. Other than that I'm not sure.

Oil control is the main one

Bingo!

And that is a damn well sorted 32 there!

I know right! 2.8 + 2530s = Drool

I considred a HKS 2.8 after talking to Dave Chilton, He bloody loves them, Claims they are the best kits he has seen and when he puts them in the balancing rig most of the time they need none or very very little. Sadly the budget didnt reach that far as the kits are dear as poison and my turbos would not have suited any more so even more $$ :)

Yeah 10k for crank, rods and pistons is a bitter pill to swallow. If I was to do a stroker it would be a toss up between the HKS and Jun. The Jun cranks are work of art and the lightest of the stroker cranks from the info I can find on em. They weigh the same as the stock crank.

Yeah they would be another great option *sigh* needs more money!

In other news...I think my non stroker engine is getting tuned today, if not today very very soon.

Awesome news :) When is it coming to Baskins?

Wouldn't mind going a 30DETT either. If there is a way to get the bonnet to close properly etc that's the way I would go.

yeah i considered that too, but yeah the whole bonnet closing thing didnt appeal and once again i would have been up for new turbos! I will just have to be happy with what i got until i get rich!

You guys is idiots sometimes.

You want to overtake the whoretown thread... but you keep posting in it!

Lol I thought that as well. Won't make much difference though :)

Yeah bonnet closing thing would piss me off I think. Need to win lotto. Or rob a bank. Or become a politician...

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
