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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
