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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
