G-Day all, I've been looking a few Series II R33's and some R34's. I know a fair bit about the R33, but not that much about the R34's, can someone help me out here?

How do the 2 compare? And what sort of price range should a good R34 GT-T manual be?

All opinions appreciated, thanks,

Crazy.

Hey Guys,

On the same note, does anyone know of any Sydney dealers with R34's at a decent price. I'm after a dealer as I don't want the hassle of selling my 33 privately. and would prefer to try and trade it in.

PS Sorry George, I think the convertable Stang will have to wait. probably when I go thrugh my mid-life crisis.

:P

Thanks

Bobby

meggalla, gotta disagree about resale value of the r34.

A 98 model now worth about 40k, will probably only get you about 25k in 2 years time.

just think about the r33's.. when they were around 4 years old (1994 in 1998) they sold for over 40k... now, the same car, you wont be able to get 20k for..

i disagree Pete,

try going to a dealer and asking 40k for a GTT? you'll find they are selling them closer to 50-55k and powerplayimports.com have "SWOOP" forsale at 75k! high hopes but its immaculate.

2 things which i believe will hold the value of R34's in particular, the second one not so particular to an R34:

1. the R34 will most likely be the last skyline with the RB engine and its arguably the best ever made.

2. stricter grey import laws in australia will certainly make it alot harder for imports to make it to our shores. So a certain demand vs supply will automatically hold their value up (with all imports in general).

thats my 2c anyways...

Back to Crazy's question...its all about preference, i know lots of ppl who love the R33 shape and lots who love the R34's shape. In terms of exterior and interior they are worlds apart. In terms of engine performance, there is a fair amount of differences.

* same engine but R34 has NEO equivalent

* R34 makes 48Nm more torque, 1200rpm's lower than the R33

* R34 runs 0.7bar boost, a little higher than the R33

* R34 peak power has risen to 206kw @ 6400rpm

these were possible through changes in engine management system, cam timing and turbo system.

There is a dearler here trying to sell 2 for 50odd, and these are brand new, about 5k on the clock on they have been there for a couple of years.

Generally the sell for 40 in the yards, my old man has one he got 12months ago for 40. Some sell privately for under 40k.

They will probably drop to low 30s in a couple of years i think.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
