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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
