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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
