Guys i have been looking for a car since early this year and been comparing EVO IX, WRX STI 06 & Skyline R34 V specs. I like to find out what common problems do R34 GTRs have so i can get a better understanding when I’m making my final decision. I know most problems and issues on Sti & Evos but nothing on R34 GTR’s so I would really appreciate if you could help me out here! :D

No problems really to speak of in my case...

In 3 years of ownership, I've only had to replace a set of coilpacks with Splitfires, the oil pump with an N1, front rotors replaced with slotted DBAs and before I took ownership I had a rust spot below the bootlid light attended to.

The car gets serviced every 5000Kms and that's it.

I'm looking for one also! I couldn't find much in the way of a "buyers guide" either...

Terry_GT-R34, weren't/aren't you a member of Prelude Australia?

Hehe, yes still am in PA.

Nice bunch of guys (& girls) and no hairdressers afaik lol

Just take your time. make sure whatever you buy is THROUGHLY gone over by a decent mechanic. And check for dodgy accident repairs, some of the cheaper 34 R's have had a decent whack.

Cheers

you have the problem of looking bad-ass when you drive around in it

that is all

I'll be in the market for one in the next 1-2 years as a track cop

edit: LMAO why did the language filter change p-i-g to cop?^^^ :( p-i-gs don't eat donuts

Neck injuries to bystanders cause its such a head turner.

Accidents cause its stops traffic.

...not to mention that some owner had to travel 200km to pick up his car from his service-technician/engine-rebuilder lol

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
