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.

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 :)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
