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

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
