Hey guys,

New to the forum, but not new to skyline loving :D.

Anyways I've dreamt about this car since I was 12 or so... 7 years down the track I'm looking at finally purchasing one for myself :touch: !! Being a P-Plater i looked into what N/A options were our there for me. after reading through the forums it seems like the r32 GTS is a glorified Camry and getting a bit long in the tooth. However, the r34 non-turbo option really seems like a winner to me, going for around 15k+ with relatively low KMs on the odo.

My question is, is it worth it? It certainly seems like it would impress the mates (and ladies :D ) as well as looking like a bucket of fun to drive.

What do you think SAU?

yah, turbo ftw... i've had my turbo for about 4months and am already looking into more power, its stock standard, having never driven one when i got it, i would have been disappointed with any less power when i got it.. the non turbo variant just wouldn't be enough fun.

i would say definately worth it. i own 1 as a p-plater myself and even for a non turbo i love every bit of it. just had a little drag with my brothers evo tonight as well hehe. and yes you will always gets comments from the mates and the ladies lol. 15k + tho i hope your talking about a manual, if not thats a rip off. other than that best p-plater car i can suggest to anyone.

Yeah exactly the answer i was looking for, thanks mate! And yes I was referring to manual, is that the average price nowadays?

hey bud,

definitely worth it, that is the going price, some can be had for less, some for more, it comes down to what kinda of options you want with it, eg; colour, coupe or sedan, factory optioned/aftermarket bodykit or stock, etc... these things play a large part in the price for non-turbos, if you can't find one you want right now, just be patient for one to come across with your name on it, don't settle for anything less.

good luck with your hunt, be sure to post pics!

Buy a Honda Jazz kid. if you think an r32 is a "glorified Camry" than maybe skylines aren't really your cup of tea. as a P plater there are plenty of other cars out there that are cheaper, more fuel efficient, and easier and cheaper to insure, and will be better equipped for you to get to-and-from scout practice. are school holidays over yet?

i'd say the "glorified camry" saying would be something he read on the forums.. i've seen it mentioned a couple of times and he looks to have read a few threads..

just test drive the car your interested in and go from there.. no point asking the forums members if you arent satisfied with the power output..

Yeah i gathered it to be the general consensus of the forum and also i obviously wasn't referring to a GTS-T or even more so the GTR... power output isn't that big a factor for me right now.. since i can't actually drive anything with big power... :D

yes but if your gonna go spend 15k on a r34 just to sell for a loss in a few years and then get a turbo model.. IMO you are better off getting some cheaper car and sell that off later and get the turbo..

mate..word of caution before the moderators flog u for posting shite on the website... public announcements of racing or speeding on public roads arn't condoned ...esp if u drive a n/a gts ...its hardly worth mentioning

ah fair enough, didn't know that. cheers for the heads up =).

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
