Hey, lately ive been looking around at all types of cars,

But.

seeing the prices's of N/A r34's are ridiculous.

15k-18k, really?

back in NZ you could pick one up for 9k in great condition.

and better yet pick up a tidy r32 GTR for the same price.

anyways thats my little hissy fit for the day haha.

would be good to see what people have to say about this.

I agree.

$15k - $18k?! Yes that is ridiculous!

Fucking bullshit, in fact :laugh:

I would not pay anymore then $9k considering it being in top condition or I'd pay around $7k - $8k.

And I love all the comments how they can justify selling it for prices from $15k - $18k.

yeah thats the thing that has me scratching my head.

im too worried about buying a turbo'd car

as most are less expensive than N/A's

i guess at the end of the day as long as its checked out all good,

theres no problem with a cheap deal?

i still think this is ridiculous haha.

cheers for the input

Are you interested in a NA R34 mate?

Mine is for sale. PM me for info.

No offence mate, but theres no reason for me to be interested in a N/A when i can drive turbo?

plus i would never pay that amount for a non turbo r34. thats why i posted this thread.

Just checking lol.

First of all; This is Australia, not New Zealand. You can't buy imports for f**k all here like over there.

And in Queensland (where i'm from, obviously) the current p-plate laws make N/A skylines more desirable then they ever were. Prior to july 2007, no one had a reason to import a non-turbo skyline, apart from if they wanted to be crap. With the new laws, it was all p-platers could drive. So there was less people wanting to purchase turbo cars (key demographic - 17-20 years old has been ruled out) and more wanting to purchase N/A skylines, which there were less of in the country.

Supply and demand. Non-turbo silvias and skylines are selling for as much now as they were in 2006 roughly.

At the end of the day, something it only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
