Hey all,

ive been a fan of the r32-r34 skylines since i was a young age and finally earning the dosh to get one :P.

Im new to the site and not really sure on a few models of the r34's

first off, ive heard of a 25gt-t, is that just a bolt on turbo? or is it made turbo in the shop from brand new?

also is the gt-t typically the cheapest r34 turbo that hasnt been modified? opposed to someone putting one in.

ive been looking for the newest cheapest turbo model before i actually start looking to buy.

any advice would be muchly appreciated

The R34GT-T is a factory fitted 2.5Ltr straight 6 turbo.

Its really up to you and your budget on what you want to get. Also think about what driving style you like, you might prefer a AWD or FWD car. To me a RWD car is alot more fun and challenging to drive.

I'm pretty sure the only R34 that is turbocharged and 4WD from factory is the GT-R

There are a few for sale in NSW for around the $15,000, but really you are looking at the cheaper end of the scale so the likelihood of picking out up in reasonable condition are pretty slim. This may change by the time you scrape together the $15,000 though :P

To be honest, buying a Skyline is nothing special. It is just like buying any other car... except that the chances are the Skyline you are looking at may have had a slightly harder life than your grandmother's Camry :P

This thread is a good read for prospective buyers

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      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.
