Hey all, Just need some advice / Opinions on picking out a r34 GTT here are a couple.

Car 1

Car 2

Prob more to come.

Cheers.

they both look good. only comment id make is regarding redline shockproof gear oil - its made for gearboxes without synchros, when it gets used in a synchromesh gearbox it has a tendency to wear the synchros faster than usual - the redline non-shockproof stuff is pretty decent by all accounts but I only use mineral oil in the gearbox as per nissans recommendation

-D

If you are after a super tough 4 door R34 PM "Evil34" - local guy and car. He is looking at selling soon and would be well worth a look!

indeed and a 4 door bears a tiny bit less po-po attention, esp when its without a spoiler

-D

I disagree Damo - I NEVER once was pulled over in 3 years of my R34 being my daily. and it was lowered, running on Gram Lights and had a GTR style front bar.

thats because u play stuff like shannon noll at full volume

cops know ur not a hoon

-D

Yeah id have to kinda agree, i havent been pulled over randomly in the time i have had ownership. Guess i was exaggerating a little :)

But i do disagree with a 4 door bearing lesser attention.

I dunno - when I first bought my R34 sedan 3 years back, I'd get pulled over every coupla months for a 'random breath test' or 'license check' ...

It doesn't happen so much these days, not entirely sure why... One cop did say that 'oh wow, its a sedan - nice' when he had pulled me over - does suggest they don't really notice, just see the Skyline badge/stove-top lights. That said, I don't seem to see as many police these days either (besides the undercover cop that sat up my ass for 10 minutes on Friday afternoon on the way home from work, trying to force me to speed - been meaning to call in his license plate as hoon actually, the way he was sitting up peoples asses, weaving in and out of traffic & sitting on 80kph on Grange rd ...)

Yeah id have to kinda agree, i havent been pulled over randomly in the time i have had ownership. Guess i was exaggerating a little :)

I've been pulled over twice in all the time I've driven the gtr as a daily

both times it was licence check, rego check and breatho

then they let me go. *shrug* maybe its the suit

-D

+1 :)

I got pulled over once in 2yrs since i had it for a quick license check and let go.

This was with huge wheels, slammed, stretched tyres etc.

Only when i put the cage in i got reamed lol

100% Redline is in use in my car , shockproof is for diff, it's too slippery for synchos to mesh(hence you will trash the synchro's). you have to use MTL or the proper weight oil in tranny ...!!!

and it's the only oil approved for F18 engines if your into trivia

I could recommend it over crap mineral oil, try and pour the two side by side in cold weather,or check the temp drop in all applications when you use Redline... :whistling:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
