Buying A R34, What To Look For?

[Cruizn]

Hey everyone,

Looking at buying an R34 GTT. Im just wondering if there is anything specific i should be looking for, like do they have any common faults?

Thanks guys!

Check for aftermarket coilpacks and upgraded clutch, they were the two major problems with mine and it took a while to save the coin to fix them.

The clutch is a particular pain because nissan no longer make them, so you have to upgrade the whole kit, which is expensive. The other thing is that r34s have pull type clutches, like the gtr's, but unlike every other skyline model, which means it's even more expensive

EVERYTHING on R34 GTT tends to be different to every other skyline.... Its why mine is taking so long to build

It is a pain, the clutch system is pretty much the same as the gtr clutches, which is why most people put an r33 gtr clutch on as it's actually a cheaper replacement.

But when you look at clutch, coilpacks, O2 sensor etc etc etc you end up paying more for all the parts you replace lol

Hope the build is going well mate, it's the dream for when I get one again
