Well I'm new here and am in the process of finding the right R34 GT-T in Tokyo to import to Perth.

A little about myself: I live in Myaree, in Perth. I am 21 and I work in IT and have wanted an R34 since I played NFS: Underground 2 haha :).

Can someone explain the variation in the tail lights for the R34's. I have noticed the ones with the indicators under the brake lights and ones with indicators in the brake light. Did that change between 1998 - 2000? I can't seem to determine what it was!

Also, if anyone has any sites that give in depth detail about the R34s and their specs and revisions etc... a link would be greatly appreciated. I have found a few, but not one to define the difference in tail end :(

Hope to see you all around soon for cruises!

I could be wrong, but I thought the difference in the taillights was sedan had one style and coupe had another (think coupe is in the brake light).

It looks like you're right. The Coupe have the indicators within the brake light. Damn they are so sexy. After a little research, it seems near impossible to mod them to fit the sedans :(.

lol not impossible.

Just probably not a ply and play affair

welcome to the forums!

Did you buy 4 door or 2 door?

I said Near Impossible :P

I got the 4 door sedan.

I have about 8k to blow on mods so I've been browsing what's around.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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)
