1 point is to ensure that it is a genuine factory manual, due to most of the r34's being trip-tronic, alot of home-made conversions are done which can put you in trouble in the future.

trip-tronic ones are just as good though, compared to my manual 32 before my trip-tronic 34 at the moment, i would pick the trip-tronic. its a better daily, especially if your from a city. feels like your driving a manual without clutch.

but whatever floats your boat :). Good luck with finding a good one :).

Sydney :) Really hard to find decent R34's in NSW, but im willing to fly out to buy a good one

You've got that right, but ive got a close to mint turbo one and im in Sydney - so dont be discouraged, there still are a few good R34's left.

By the time you finish looking though you may end up saving more cash and also want / be able to drive a turbo one. May just be worth holding off buying one until then.

Im in a similar boat to you, only im looking for a very clean (and close to stock) bayside blue vspec 34 gtr. Im assuming that theres also a few good ones left, but by the time i finish looking - i'll probably end up with a R35.

Yeah, i know what you mean. Would rather factory manual over a transmission conversion any day of the week, but just as long as its manual . . been driving manuals my whole life .. and im only 19 .. just a passion i guess :) I refuse for any car i own to be auto, until im like a family man .. or until i mature a bit more. and neither of those are happening any time soon. you get the picture XD

Lets hope so, well ive found a few ones that meet my description for about 12 k .. + 1000 or so to get it registered in NSW. And im like desperate as im very sick of my beemer, had it for about 2 years now .. fun but just a dud.

planning on buying round early feb next year when i have the funds 100%. dont really want to hold out either as ive psyched myself up about it soooooo much.

Cant compromise for anything less than what i want i guess. Hoping someone posts that perfect 34 on here :)

Good luck on your end as well man

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
