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.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

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

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
