Hi peep's,

Newbie to the forum, more or less just woundering if anyone could provide me with any information about the car? (That is if anyone knows about the car)

Whether it was a previous ride on the forum, mods, etc.

I know its an auto which is ideal for me and my partner as she does not have a manual lisence.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

D.

Yeh looks like a nice clean gt-t has done quite a few k's for an import, wheels are te37's i think they are alright, and it has side and rear nismo kit. Doesnt look like its been touched at all bud other than the exhaust, probs a cat back.

ahahha i didnt even read the above post... what he said

Fuel economy all depends on how you drive, services etc...

All being well and babying it, 400-500km/tank? - possibly more basing this on my car which is more thirsty.. I got 400km from the tank, no gear changes above 4k lol. (R34 owners shed some light?)

You'd want the timing belt to have been done with those kms too... Getting that done on my car is costing me 1.2k :)

Looks good mate! I'm a fan of TE37's mainly when they concave in :P but the car looks good!

Should be able to drop the price a little on it atleast (It IS an auto... I got my 34gtt manual 65000km for 19990, and gf got her manual 34gtt that's done 102000km's for same price)

So yeah, I'd say give it a go! test drive it :) and fuel economy should be good as long as your not heavy footed haha

Cheers for that.

Yeah kms and being an auto are certainly negatives when it comes to selling a skyline, so hope that can work to our advantage.

Could I ask about the engine bay pictures, does anyone think it would have any internal mods?

We are hoping for just stock with the obvious exhaust upgrades.

Also any R34 GT-T owners what would the fuel economy be to a tank, have to convince the mrs!

Engine bay is complete stock, no pod filter, no BOV, everything looks shiny and factory :laugh:

not too sure on the economy for the auto... uhm there's 2 dif economy types... if your babying the car everywhere or if your flooring the car :banana: and then you get the avg if you do both haha

but yer as one guy mentioned 400-500km to a tank? ish? but also remember u gotta fill it with premium (bp ultimate, caltex vortex or whatever it is etc)

but so worth it, plus i imagine she might have fun driving it :laugh:

Definately!

The way I see it, we would rather have a auto turbo skyline than an integra (no disrespect to any integra owners).

Just rang up about getting an insurance quote from RAC and the fcukers dont insure them!

So my next question is are these things difficult to insure??

Both me and my partner have full no claims bonuses etc and are over the age of 26 but under 30 :banana: so it's more of the car that would be an issue.

Any comments on who to use?

I was told no by HBF, but mine has a boost controller. RAC also won't do series 1 34s. Your best bet will be justcar/shannons/famous.

Fuel economy can be anywhere from 9-13L/100km depending on how you drive it. Mine's normally around 9-10 but I drive like a nanna.

If you are looking for something similar with lower km and a shopping trolley spoiler PM me, mine's for sale :banana:

There is a car at Driveaway Auto's in Maddington on Albany Highway (down from Range Ford) which is a yard solely owned by Albert and Jim Balducci who's names people might recognise.

It is a 1998, R34, Turbo, Tiptronic, Silver with 72000km’s and in mint condition, they are offering 1 year AWN EXTREME warranty and priced it at $16990. Being a new freshly import that was just complied and is registered it has to be worth a look.

I have an image but unable to post it, Albert's email or phone 9493 0155 if of interest.

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
