Fellas,

long time reader, first time poster here! a quick brief - wanted a Black or White GT-T r34 for quite some time, have been looking for a while. want a clean (not too modd'd) manual...for about 14-15k.

found 2 at SEI auto in Dandenong... as of 11 June 11, black one without plates. took it for a drive, felt good - gearbox tight, responsive, no rust, no leaks, smooth rev up / down, shocks on the front at about 90%, tires in good nick etc. didnt test the white one however.

ive read a few peoples thoughts on the trader - mixed reviews, had some people who have found some winners and some lemons also.

has anyone seen these two there? im sure you guys are always sticky beaking so i wouldn't mind your opinion!!

thanks in advance fellas.

T

i got my car from sei motors, they have excellent cars there nice clean and stock, did have a few problems down the line as expected from coilpacks, fuel consumption etc which i still have to pay more money to fix, but the guy, Bill, he's a nice bloke if it drives fine looks fine seems decent for its price then it probably is. Have a look at the thread before buying a skyline to see what you're really after.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
