hey all, dont ya hate problems

ive been extremely picking in trying to pick out a skyline

what i want - R34 - GTT - white - 4 Door - Manual - the colour isnt to much that i car about it just looks more unnoticable for my plans

but ive been told that a 4 doors GTT manual is rare to find is this true (hence why i can find pretty much only non turbo ones)

any one shed some light on this is this a hole bunch of cr@p or not so and im not looking hard enough,maybe if i just close my eyes and wish on a start one might turn up??

As far as I know they do exist, but they do seem rare to be a turbo AND manual AND 4 door, see so many 4 door non turbo autos like you are saying.. I guess just keep looking harder :D

But I have to ask, why the 4 door? a coupe looks more sporty and the leg room in a 4 door is no better to be honest.

a few reasons why i want a 4 door some matter more then others haha,like my missus wants me to get a 4 door for later in life for kids....but i plan on making a weapon nota childs toy lol, but 2 reasons mainly are like 4 years ago i remember seeing a 4 door with a aero kit with the middle car cut out and it looked so tasty that ive had craving for it. i even moved to aussie so i can persue it because NZ has only fully raped and molested r34s with heap of damage since its a dumping ground for imports, but the 2nd reason is a 2 door is exactly what you said a coupe is sporty, i want that non turbo look, ive been planning to make a sleeper planning.... i have a dairy with mods and whats more important and can hide illegal stuff till i get a cert for it all haha.......i only plan on doing it once.....twice.....maybe more cause i have the bug to modify and i couldnt not not (double negetive means positive :D) change it haha but thats my reasons

First of all.... White manual R34 sedan aren't rare at all lol, just gotta look harder, there's even amount of GTT and GT sedans out there, but there might be more semi auto than manual, but again, look harder :D

As for manual conversion, it's not worth it, just be patient and find a manual, as conversion will cost you 3-4k and resale value = nothing better than semi auto.

they are rare for sure!

i looked for a good 2 months but didn't find anything decent so i bought an r33 4 door instead!

original manual 4 door's GTT's are very rare, most of the manuals you will find have had a conversion.

to get a conversion done with an r34 box would be like $3-4k i'd imagine, you could probably do it a little cheaper by using an r33 box.

I own one (though in silver) - took me a while to find me a factory-manual that was also completely stock - but this was 3.5 years ago.

They're a hell of a lot more common now. Keep looking - perhaps interstate - or maybe import one?

Hey mate. ive got a R34 4-door. when i got it, it was tiptronic auto but i've converted it to manual and by far by anything the conversion went very smoothly alot of people cannot tell it was once an auto.

it is hard to find a manual GTT but there are still a few out there for sale its just a matter of finding the right one for you.

Space wise in the back is alright, not the best car for a family but its alot better than the coupe.

4 door + manual are harder to find regardless if it is a turbo or not....

You will find most 4 doors are auto....

For people saying there is not much difference with the 4 door and 2 door are wrong....

As much as I love the 2 door...

Leg room is slightly better in the 4 door, rear headroom in the 4 door is better and the boot is massive....

If budget isn't really a concern - I recommend getting an R34 GT4 sedan and eventually putting in an RB26.... D.I.Y GTR 4 door... well kind off.....

Here is some inspiration.... ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ld-t280439.html

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
