Hey Guys,

I'm interested in selling my R32 onwards and getting an R34 GT-T.

I'm just after some information on exactly what I should be looking for, any particular issues or faults with the R34, and generally just any information which I should know when I am hunting around to find one.

I am after a regular R34, with very minimal mods and preferably standard, around the 2000 year manufactured mark, would be great if it was a 2 door model with the semi-tiptronic shifter

Any information would be greatly appreciated guy!

Regards,

There aren't alot of 2000 r34s around there are more 98 and 99's around

If your after an auto should definatley be able to swing a good one for around $18000,

Don't be tempted to go too cheap I looked at 3 under $16000 and they were all shit

Thanks for the heads up mate.

Anything around the 1998,1999 or 2000 range would be great as I am just after something that hasn't been through many Km's (as I dont want to have to replace seats, belts, handbrakes and all manor of other shit that gets worn out)

I searched on Carsales, and there seems to be lots in the 12k - 14k region.

What should I be expecting to get for around 18K?

Thanks for the advice, I'm open to hearing what anyone has to say for input :P

If your looking at agt-t I wouldn't recommend paying 12k it's gonna have some problems

Don't be so believing of the kms alot are wound back I would be more inclined to go for something just over 100000kms that the owner has receipts for the 100000km service being done

Thanks again mate,

That's probably a good idea. I just want something that is genuine and not hiding some massive fault or accident.

Is there any real point into buying one from a dealership, or getting it imported?

From my understanding its cheaper to buy them from Japan, but getting it imported, converted to fit out spec and then repairs are a nightmare

would you know anything about that?

Regards

Never imported a car myself

Your gonna pay more for one from a dealership that has just been imported

If it were my money I'd look for one locally, I would only consider import if I was looking for a GTR

Others here might think differently

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
