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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
