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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
