Hey Guys and Girls,

Just recently purchased a R34 4 door from auction in Adelaide.

Just curious if the previous owner is on here, as i wouldnt mind some details on the car.

Description.

Silver R34 4 Door

Heavyly burnt. Front to rear

RB25 neo, 5 Speed

17x8 and 17x9 AVS wheels

3 or possibly 3.5inch stainless catback.

The rest of the car is pretty well stock.

Anyone know of the owner? or if your on here, would be great to have a talk with ya.

Cheers Dan

Also interested.

Between $1000 and $1500. Yea that sounds stupid just say actual cost but id rather not. but its between those figures.

As for the PM i got regarding the Neo turbo, i dont have 10 psosts and cant reply. I have removed it, has minimal shaft play and all feels good, when i inspected the impeller it looks like 1 of the blades is slightly distorted, i will look again, and possibally send it off to be checked by a specialist and or have a new impeller put on it.

Looking around $450 has actuator and elbow.

hmm how much would u want for the shell? so no engine, gearbox etc

The shell is badly burnt. not worth re using, will be scrapped.

The box is going behind my RB20 in my r31.

The motor has had the engine cover melted. yet to look under it. will be a good head, cams and block. so perfect if some blows a neo up and needs a short motor, or has a heavily modified one and wants to just bolt their aftermarket items on

don't know how hot it got, but goodluck prying the head off the block......I've lifted a whole car in the air with big block & tackle trying to lift an alloy head off a cast block (also in a fire) many years ago.......smashed it off in the end and stuffed the block in the process :happy:

surely the fire wasnt hot enough to warp and twist the chassis? stripping it back to chassis and rebuilding the entire thing from scratch should still be viable (unless the heat munted the metal)

yeah, getting an alloy head of a cast block after a blown head gasket is hard enough, let alone a fire

not worth it Dohmar, might as well scrap it and put the parts into an already half finished 33. youd never get the burnt smell out of the car

+1

About the only thing I could think of is if you had a track/drift car you totalled and needed a new shell...

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
