Hey,

My names Eric and im 17, turning 18 in early March and im a life long lover of the skyline badge, particularly GTR (who isn't?)

I currently drive a 1993 Ford Laser KH, but as soon as my birthday comes around im looking to upgrade myself to a 2001 Nissan Skyline R34 25GT when I get my Green P Plates, and as soon as that happens im gonna be all over this site every day looking for what to do to it!

Im hoping that with the help of all the members on this site I can get myself a clean and properly modded 25GT, but still P plate legal, though im bound to get pulled over and defected every now and then :D

If anyone has any info on 25GT's that they could give me im all ears, since I still dont have the car, any problems with it down the line or common issues with the car would be a great help, also any parts that are interchangeable from other skyline models would help heaps.

Hope to get to know you all well, hopefully in person at some events.

Hi Eric

Great to hear you are interested in purchasing a Skyline! They are great cars to drive on your p-plates. It would be helpful to read a number of threads on the forums and get a feel for what it is like to own and maintain a GT25. Just because you have a Skyline doesn't mean you will get defected, there are ways to achieve the power gains you seek whilst avoiding the risk of being defected.

I am currently interested in selling my 1998 R34 GT25 which I bought on my Provisional-1 licence. I will be off my P's in a few weeks time, so if you are keen in purchasing one sometime in the near future, please PM me. Will most likely price to sell because I am after a turbo!

Cheers

Shanil

Can u give me some more details on that 25GT? I was gonna PM u, but I got the message that I need 10 posts to PM ;)

Thanks {Oo{34}oO},

I know what u mean, Im attached to my Laser and its just a regular car, something like a skyline would be incredibly clingy :(

Jason is correct. I told myself I would buy a Corolla after the R34 'cause it would be just cheaper to run considering I will not be working for a few years...but no effin way!

a copy/paste about my car from another thread....

"I am interested in selling my Silver Semi-Auto R34 N/A. 1998 model, just ticked over 90,000kms. Driven like a grandma, it was my first car out of high school. It took me from Nov 07 on my red P's till today, 2 weeks out of my full license. Bought it from Nagoya Motors in Caringbah, rego till Nov 2010. I will also throw in a 100,000km service pack bought directly from Nissan.

Always serviced with Motul 300V Chrono, have receipts. Always washed, polished, waxed with Meguairs products.

Only modification is the exhaust, which is a non-defect mod FYI. Have 350z series one wheels on them. Came with the stock pop-up screen in the centre console, first owner in Australia."

If you are interested, we can discuss price via PM once you reach 10 posts. I do not wish to make this an advertisement.

{Oo{34}oO} : LOL, your gonna have to buy her a beachhouse :(

SHANE666 : That's a great car, but im looking for a full manual car, I know people say tiptronic is great, but i just love the feeling of dropping the clutch and revving it up ;)

I've been to nagoya Motors and plan on getting my car from them, were they good? No hassles with the warranty and choosing services and all that?

Did they let u check it out on a hoist or have a mechanic properly look it over?

Oh, Shane,

Im interested in getting a membership with the NSW branch, are you the guy to speak to? Cause I was hoping to make the payment in person, but for now im just inquiring, since I haven't got the skyline yet ;)

Not a problem mate.

In my signature there is a link to the SAU NSW membership form. I think you can place some cash in an envelope and send it (not the smartest thing, but in your case the only possible way of payment).

No need to own a Skyline to be part of the club - there are many individuals, both junior and senior members, who drive cars other than a Skyline!

If you have any problems, I am happy to help you out mate!

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
