Hey all, just thought I'd pop in and say hi, I've just put a deposit down on a 2000 R34 GT-T

Linky...

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?R=9842166&__Qpb=true&Cr=2&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216 1247 1252 4294963846 4294963593 412 904&silo=1011&PriceTo=412&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=7&__sid=12DA3744A64A

Should be picking it up at best Friday, at worst Monday.

New to the Skyline scene, I've owned in my brief car owning history:

1998 Nissan Pulsar Q Hatch (1st Car)

2001 Mitsubishi Magna Sport

2007 Mitsubishi 380 SX

1991 Lexus Soarer V8 (Trading this in to get the R34).

Really looking forward to chatting with you guys and seeing the next few steps with my incoming car!

Test drove it today and wow, you guys and girls are definately onto something, wicked power, awesome handling and just looks sooooo goddam sexy.

But tell me, how loud is the turbo whine supposed to be with the window down? Ive never owned a turbo car so I wouldnt know.

Cheers all

loud turbo whine isnt a good sign, its friction in the turbo and while spinning at 100,000rpm the fans will knock eventually seize, and snap a shaft, or the ceramic wheel more likely.

i just experienced it with mine!

    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
