thanx for the info guyz :)

How do i drive it back from VIC? isnt it too far? wont my Km's go high lol

will check out the rides here on the site first and decide. i really want an R34 and love the looks thats why the last option will be to get a N/A and then when i get more cash i will sell it and replace it with the r34 gtt

btw are r34 gtt automatic with triptonic any good?

one more question. how do go about with the forms? the ones u fill up when u sell/buy a car? if i am not in the state that the seller is?

in regards to the forms you'll have to contact the DPI

my mate in the Army when he was in Darwin wanted to buy my 180sx but it was too complicated for us but there was a bit more to it than just buying and selling

all the R34 GTT's that are automatic are tiptronic... there's quite a few members here with tiptronic ones so they'll be able to give you their opinions, i had a disagreement with some guy from Sydney as i personally think that a tiptronic one would not be as fun as a manual one, especially with our roads here and when you go on cruises and stuff there's plenty of roads that cater for fun/spirited driving

i know a lot of guys in Sydney and Melbourne however have tiptronics as their traffic is real stop/start so the automatic transmission comes in handy

if you're looking to modify and take your car to track days and 'enjoy' so to speak your car a little more i'd stick with a manual

a bit biased though, i hate driving automatics unless it's made to be automatic ie. a Lexus/Mercedes... couldn't imagine driving relative's cars in manual

less fun and puts you to sleep with late nights

my2c anyway, hope that helps

I have a tiptronic R34 (I wanted an R34 but could not afford a manual). It's great in traffic and the tiptronic function is really handy. However if you can get a manual I probably would, not to mention it gives you the ability to have a bit more fun. However if you're not bothered its a good way to save some money, be a bit lazy now and again but its still an R34 Skyline and a great car.

been in ur shoes before mate, got the na then sold it for the turbo, no comparison.. which i already knew but at the time i couldnt afford the turbo and its expenses bla bla. Save up a lil more and get the turbo.. otherwise ull say "i should have listened to that dude." I love manuals but i got a semi auto (mum needed to move the car sometimes and doesnt drive manual) i love it also tho, it comes in handy a lot and still very fun to drive. but the trans depends on how u like to drive i guess.. if i had the choice id have both.. might convert later tho cos i love it too much.

got both cars from nsw to wa from between 1200-1500 bucks. just get the turbo!

like Andrew said.. u may tend to get sleepy with the semi auto. Just clock ur car.. thatll wake u up, na dont thats dangerous :thumbsup:

no matter what car ur interested in man, if u cant view it or drive it for yourself you should get someone who can, u cant tell what condition a car is in by photos, look for a car with the right colour, extras, kms or whatever u like then get a complete inspection. might cost anywhere from 100-400 bucks but thats a small price to pay imo even grab their mechanics number and chat to them about the car. depending on what state the car is search for a known or reputable vehicle inspection company for that state/city etc on the net and book an inspection (preferably a company that includes a compression n leak test also). still gotta reply to ur pm mate bit busy at work gtg. talk later hope that helps.

I paid Ceva (aka TNT) 750 to ship my 32 from perth to melboune (house to depo) at xmas.

If you drive it is about 3500k's, 5 days and cost about (depending on your fuel eco) $800-$1000 inc accom, food, fuel etc and it is very boring no matter what car you would be driving.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By wizlb · Posted

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
