Okay,

I've been looking for a few solid months and I can't find jack in NSW.

What I'm looking for:

A clean, near to stock, 4-door R34 GT-T that's P-plate friendly for the duration of my P-plate license (a year and a half).

What I can't find in this state for a reasonable price:

A clean, near to stock, 4-door R34 GT-T that's P-plate friendly for the duration of my P-plate license (a year and a half).

-

So.

My question to you Skyline fanatics is, what should I get until I can buy turbo?

Should I even do this?

Something that will hold it's value, something cheap and nasty even, fire me some suggestions!

Maybe an old pre-90's Skyline lol, what's the maintenance costs like on those bad boys?

What do you guys reckon?

Many thanks,

Ding

Im looking to sell my 34 N/A....just about to get off my P's....2 door coupe, auto, well maintained.

otherwise find a shitbox and save for a nice turbo when you get your full licence.

VS-VT commodore, cheap, you can destroy it and parts are a dime a dozen and no cop attention. Another advantage with say a VT commodore is you can have traction control, ABS and airbags some things that the R31's just dont have and they will also look after you better in a crash.

Maybe better of with something like this if you want a bigger car for the moment.

1998 vt Berlina on GAS, Less kms then most Cressida's, around 10 years newer, Alot safer e.g. Air Bag( don't wanna sound like a parent lol), cheap to run, easy parts cause they are everywhere. Just any idea tahts all..

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
