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?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
