Gday all,

Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Im seriously considering buying an R34 GT-t and i was just trying to find out

if there are any problems or issues with the car i should be expecting?

The biggest issue is usually the ignition coil packs, if/when you test drive the car, put your foot on the brake and put your foot on the gas, this tests the coils under load and if they're are faulty, you will be able to hear it.

Also be sure you check for rust, near the front strut bruce and in the boot wells. If you can go for a 2000-2001 or a series 2 model as the price difference isnt that much greater

All the best, happy hunting!

The biggest notorious problem with R34 is that when you own one the girls drool over it. lol Be prepared. Their drool gets into the coil packs and make the car misfire.

well if the car doesnt feel smooth reving and if u hear sorta like bop bop bop... it will be hesitant, ie u put ur foot down and though the revs it coughs a splutters... thats sign of faulty coils or spark plugs...

DAMN!

Are there any reputable places in the Sydney area that will fix the problem up for me if it or well WHEN it does happen?

2 years of driving my R34, done around 40,000km. One track day and not had a problem with the coil packs yet. Although splitfires will be on the list when I do my next round of mods just because of how common it seems to be for the stockers to give up.
