heya

just wondering if anyone knew of a place where a 20yr old could go test drive a R34 GT-T? Should i even bother trying? Or am i just going to be knocked back anywhere i go? I have a feeling that no-one is going to let a P plater get behind the wheel of one, so just seeing if anyone knew of somewhere that i could? This isn't just a joy ride either, i'm 95% sure i'll start the whole importing process at the end of Feb, cos i'm going to be away for that month. So i want to see if the car is everything i think it is.

cheers.

Your welcome to take mine for a spin.At next bmt day or when im down melbs next.Has a few mods but you will get the idea you love 34's pretty quick.my car will be at bmt within next 2 weeks.i pm ya.One condition YOU bend YOU mend.Also has a twin plate so clutch is a little tricky for inexperienced drivers.

Easiest way to test drive any car is to rock up in a expensive car.

My mates dad has a new BMW 328 which he borrows all the time. Rock up to any car dealer in that and we used to get to test drive any car we wanted, execpt duttons, they wont let you unless you bring some paperwork showing u r loaded.

Definitely. When I had the NSX I used to go anywhere with that and could take whatever for a spin. No such thing as nothing to do on a Saturday back then! Infact the dealer that sold me my NSX used to ring me up when ever he got something new and cool in so I could take it for a spin. There should be more guys like him around sharing the fun!

So if you can borrow a good car off someone thats always the first step. But to make them aware of it I usually had to say that I was considering trading it in and would they give you a trade in vaue. Because you cant always park dramatically out the front right in sight of an unoccupied sales assistant so you may have to point it out to them... then attitudes change quickly.

snowman what NSX did u have? was it a 99? yellow?

unless everyone with NSXs and nice cars does it cause one of my mates friends used to do that all the time when he got bored before he sold the NSX :D

haha yeah thats him :D havent spoken to him for a while since i left there.

will have to have a bit of a catch up with him soon now hes married :(

oooo sorry for the hijack.

ummm yeah what they said... rock up in a masserati or something :D

Well when i was looking for my 33 about a year back now..the r34gtr was much more expensive one dealership had one..they were more than welcome to let me drive it as long as a gave them a $500 buck deposit which i would get back if i didnt want the car. A couple months ago i went into a nissan dealership and looking at a 350z dressed nice got all the info about it prices etc and eventually got a test drive at 20 years of age...pretty good..

I just told them i was gonna trade in my r33 and they let me drive 350z, and also coz i was 25 at the time

hmmmm gonna have to rock up in me dad's BMW E50? 530i, sounds like that should do the trick :D But don't like my chances of letting me drive it tho!! >:( - Oh well, might rock up with him in the car, and play the old daddy is going to be me a car line!

Now, gotta find a place that actually has them!

R34GTT-R - You're car sounds nuts, and thank you very much for the offer but twin plate clutch and modified.... :D Might be a bit beyond me at this stage. And BMT is a loooonnnngg way from my place, as far as i know. But hey, if we happen to be on the same cruise or something, i might take you up on the offer. I currently drive a 57kw front-wheel drive Pulsar :( So i'm slightly hesitant to take "someone elses" modified, twin plated R34 GT-T for a spin! Might just try and find me a stock as a rock at a yard somewhere. But thanks again for the offer, really appreciate it.

cheers.

You think bringing my ing savings maximiser statement along would help? I called it "Skyline Saver" - :)

EDIT: That's 57kw's at the FLY!! yeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaa :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
