I'm new to the whole decent car world and know next to nothing about cars, I'm looking to buy a R34 GT-T that I've seen though and just want to know a bit first.

Does anyone know what the actual whole P-platers can't drive turbo thing is? I've heard a few things like if the turbo is factory it's ok, if you own it before the new year you are allowed and a few other things.

Also is the turbo factory? Might be irrelivent depending on the actual answer to the first question but still wouldn't mind knowing either way.

And lastly, what is peoples opinions on getting a car that was imported at 70,000km's and now done ~85,000?

Cheers for any help anyone gives.

r34 gt-t is factory turbo

the p-plate restriction law hasn't come in yet

the law restricts you from driving 99% of turbo and v8 cars including skylines

if you own it before the law comes in you will be able to keep it

imported at 70,000 is fairly low... 85,000 is still fairly low so yes. do it.

hope this helped :P

Wicked shit, cheers man.

Running it past my cousin, he has an absolutely nuts skyline he has done up himself so figured if anyone I know would be able to give me an opinion from their own person experience and know what it would be like it would be him.

Just gotta fly out to Melbourne to have a sus of it and if it looks all good I'll be driving it back :P

the "done up nuts" skyline is his cousins, no the one hes going to look at.

But as Steve said, it will require an ID check in SA, and if it has any blatant defects it will be sent through vehicle inspection, so make sure its neat and tidy, no leaks, not too low, not too loud, and you should be fine.

elaborate on this nutz skyline :down: does it just have a few simple mods like these

u did try n find 1 already in adelaide right? saves some hassles if you can get 1 here already.

is it if you own the car or if your P's are issued after this date? ie you are exempt because it was not a condition of your p's at the time.

I got out of having to do the "log book" way back when because my l's were obtained before the law came in - so i did just one prac test, passed by 2% and drove the next hour to a mates...

Better call Transport SA to make sure, but get in quick none the less or you will have to buy a civic with vtech YO!

have you called up about insurance yet? something you should be doing first before your buy the car n be horrified at the figure they give you :thumbsup:

and good old stamp duty always catches em offgaurd

Don't even worry about what the kms says, the digital ones are even esier to dodge up than analogue odometers. If things like steering wheel, gear knob, pedals and carpet are excessively worn it's probably done a few kays. Alternatively if they are in excessively good condish I'd be wary also as crafty dealers can change the 'high useage' items like those to make the car look like it hasn't been used much.

or has he recieved an australian version of this letter :D

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
