Hey guys,

I'm in the marketto buying myself a manual r34 GT-T. It's always been my dream to own a r34, and I amcurrently saving up now, expecially since i just got my fulls recently meaning i can finally drive a turbo!!

I live in NSW, andi wanted to know pretty much everything there is to buying a skyline. I haveheard plenty of things from word of mouth and also by reading a few things onthis forum.

I have read thatthe km's are easy to wind back, but to inspect mostly the condition of theinterior of the car and not judge by km's, and i have also tried researchingwhich dealers have a good reputation.

So my questions are:

- WHO has a good reputation for selling imports (r34'smainly)?... i have heard Edward Lee's isn't very good (i read it somewhere onthis forum lol)

- HOW do i know if the skyline i am looking at islegitimately in good condition (can i perform engine compression tests byasking NRMA or something?)

-WHAT should i be looking for when buying my r34?

I want a decentquality r34, however my price range is between 14-17k. i'm looking for one thatis pretty stock (so i can modify it myself) but it wouldn't hurt to have a fewclean mods such as exhaust and body kit.

by the way, im notsure if this topic is supposed to be placed in this part of the forum, so ifit's supposed to be somewhere else, please let me know lol.

P.S i posted this topic in the automotive section, but i think it should be here. Sorry if im not supposed to double post, kinda new to forums.

Thanks guys!

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What's wrong with the OEM filter. They do the job perfectly. As to your actual problems. Stop driving the. Take it to a mechanic. If you actually do have a fuel delivery limitation and you are putting it under load, you could be killing it.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know the answer, but my uneducated guess is this will not work (or, not as you want it to). I would wire the SLD into VSS1, I bet that is what the limiter uses However, I also bet the ECU compares VSS1 and VSS2 and throws and error if they are different. Best suggestion I can make is wire it into VSS1 and see how you go, I guess the error will only appear above 180 when then SLD is active. If it appears at lower speeds put a switch into the SLD earth (or power supply) and only turn it on when you need to go over 180.

      Fuel Filter replacement

      By Diomedes_ · Posted

      Hi all, So, looking to do some general maintenance on the car, as it has developed a some slight (related?) problems; Three problems that I think are related. 1999 R34 GTR RB26 - engine will sometimes cut out while left on idle, but will keep going if I keep throttle input. Usually after having driven a while. Its random, somedays wont happen at all, others will happen once or twice in a half hour drive. - Second issue is that while driving, the car will sometimes not be able to get past 3k rpm, no matter how much throttle input I apply. - Lastly, car will sometimes be real laggy climbing through rpm, but if I apply lots of throttle problem will seem to clear and go back to normal. All issues come and go, again somedays no sign of any problem, other days will just be stuttering around for ages.   I think it might be either the fuel system, or maybe the AFM?   Either way, I am going to clean the AFMs, and replace the fuel filter, use some injector cleaner in the next few fill ups, and might look at doing the fuel pump aswell.   Question I have, is filter such as; https://www.efisolutions.com.au/pro-fuel-filter-30-micron-an8-orb-black Fine to replace the normal filter? Their product page says as a prefilter only and not as the main EFI filter, so I'm guessing I would still need the stock one? Can I get an aftermarket one that has AN8 fittings to replace the OEM one? Or is the OEM one just something you have to live with?

      I say this and there’s a Nistune r34 GTT MT ECU for sale on eBay.de but I need to figure out compatibility between the AT harness and MT ECU - TCS considered. I figure this HKS SLD is a quick bandaid anyhow.
