hey im new here first post,

im 17 and wanting to get one of these next year and i have a few questions i really like the bayside blue colour but cant find any that are p plate legal all the one's i see in this colour are like 50k and have turbo are they like rare or something?

also ive seen the 2000(year) r34's that are p plate legal for like 10k or under if i cant get one in bayside blue how much do you think it would cost to get it painted that colour?

how much do spoilers retail for? like the stock one's? and what the max size rim's i could have on the R34?

thanks for any answers in advanced

cheers

the max size rims you can put on a natro skyline and the max size you should put on to not look like a cock are 2 different things. for a natro, stick to 17" rims.

what sort of spoiler are you wanting? some big stupid ricer style drift wing? if yes, then don't. just don't. they are bad enough on turbo skylines and even worse on natro ones.

as for bayside blue, the cost of a decent respray will be a few thousand dollars, depending on whether you get in the engine bay, etc done. certainly not worth it on a NA unless you plan on keeping it once you get off your P's.

just keep hunting till you can find a bayside blue natro, or simply buy another colour until you get off your P's

the spoiler i was interested in is like this i list a picture below you can only kinda see the side though

use have an idea for what this would retail for?

Did Nissan make ghey-side blue NAs? I cant remember ever seeing one

There were a few GT-T's in the colour but not many

They Def did make them, i think it was the GT-V that came in Bayside blue. I remember researching it myself years ago, and from what i gathered, they actually released the bayside blue in the GT-V long before the GT-T got it.

I think it was basically a GT-T, minus the turbo engine. It got everything else the GTT got.

Ya.

They made R34s in bayside blue but only series 2 onwards.

R34 NA GT-V, all turbo things except engine / gauges.

Can easily be identified by BA Failcon-spec front bar (Think 2001 models got it?)

This one has had it changed to the S1 bar.

This is what they would have looked like originally....

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
