I'm new to the whole buying a car thing (basically got the thirty-one I have now off a friend of my Mum's for practically nothing). What do you wastelanders think I should pay for a 4-door and 2-door NA 34? They seem to start at around 8500 and I don't want to pay over 10000 if I can avoid it.

Don't bother with n/a 34.

Just play around with the 31 or chuck a LS1 in said 31. Could spend it on other useful things like booze or travelling etc.

Nah, the 31 is nearly dead. Keeps losing power and I don't know why. I have a feeling that it wasn't too well looked after before I had it, but you can never know these things.

The beauty of a 31, replacement motor is $100, couple of mates and few slabs will solve that.

Or just need a decent service with new plugs, leads etc?

Yeah 31's are cheap and easy.

Tbh you'd be better off buying an NA 33 than a 34 price wise. Apart from the styling and wheelbase they're much of muchness. The 33 has better build quality too.

What the f**k?

Spend that 10k on things I've mentioned (not all of it).

Or leave the money in your bank and buy a turbo skyline when you're off your P's (which I assume you're after one cos you're on your P's).

keep the 31. we can help you diagnose. or #@Miguelone can help with diagnosis, i will just sit back and drink beer.

It's a buyer's market and the fact these cars cost more than their turbo equivalents says they are ridiculously and artificially inflated in value by the P plater laws. Just because they are listed for that doesn't mean they are selling for that. Make offers and be patient / organise a back up plan for your ailing 31. The worst thing you can do is rush into buying a car because of impatience, or be forced to find one quickly because of need.

Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated as it's all new to me. I have a grand put away to service the 31 should I not be able to get a 34 quickly. Just got my rego renewal on the 31 today anyway.

Any of you ordered from Just Jap lately? How long is their shipping time atm? Need something urgently..

They went on leave over Xmas for a month, but they're back now and sent out my simulator withing a day

wait a second.... is kris that dude that is always getting bagged on here...?

also, am I the only person who prefers the R34 s1 or s2 stock bumber over the altima kit (or whatever its called)

It started life as a shot, so in that form 1/3 each works well. Soho first, then milk...gives a fluffy/curdled texture. Then baileys (or Kahlua if you prefer a coffee taste) on top will give the "dirty" looking part. Hence the name Dirty Nappy.

As a sipping drink I would adjust the ratios in favour of more milk. And don't serve it to Asians.

Dirty Nappy CSB:

At one of our SAU Vic Mt Bulla cruises, we were playing drinking games of jenga (undefeated champion right here). We needed a shot for the losers and I mixed some random shit together. It came out looking like a dirty nappy, thus the name. Problem is, people actually liked it...so now I make it on the regular at parties :)

Still need to try Malibu and milk. I enjoy milk based alcoholic beverages muchly.

OMG QUIT WITH THE GIRLY-MAN DRINK FAGGOTRY!

I personally prefer the R33 kit, or the R32 kit (34's look shit)

If auto, I think you'd be able to grab one for =< 10K, relatively easily? Gl with the search!

Inflated prices for NA or not, it is what it is. Whether it's worth it for you is for you to decide.

Edit: Leroy I'd take S1 or Altia over S2.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
