Noob From Melbourne...just Bought Myself An R34 Gtt (Auto)...love It, Any Hints Would Be Much Appreciated


Recommended Posts

Hey guys/girls, the name is Alex, I'm from Melbourne, just got an r34 gtt 1 month ago and have already realised that its an expensive addiction...it took me 29 years but I finally got one, any help or hints along this skyline windy road will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Alex,

I have had an R34 GTt sedan, auto, for several years. Great car.

For your car, I would suggest a major service, unless it came with a good service history. Included in that service should be the following;

1. Engine oil and filter change. I use synthetic.

2. Transmision fluid change. I use Nulon synthetic.

3. Check air filter. Mine had an aftermarket foam filter which was not oiled and was allowing some dust to pass through.

4. Change power steering fluid. Use the synthetic automatic transmission fluid.

5. Change brake fluid.

6. Change timing belt.. I changed mine at about 55,000 klms. It was loose and had surface cracks (over ten years old).

I would suggest changing at 100,000 klms or 5 years, whichever comes first.

If your car is the first series, the oil and air filters are the same as a VL Commodore.

Hope this is of some help.

Geoff.

Thanx for the reply mate, just chaned my oil (Royal purple fully synthetic 10W-40), bout HKS super hybrid air filter, regarding major service, just had it done before she came into my hands in the land of the rising sun (has metallic sticker on air box stating at which K's she had it done), bought it off Global vehicles in Fawkner who did a minor service on it, oil fluids etc., all the belts still have writing on them and look new so I hope for now I'm set lol...anything else u can think of?

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
