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 :)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
