Hey guys, i went to inspect and test drive a r34 gtt today.

The seller doesn't know anything about the modifications done to it (though it looks like the only thing that has been changed is the exhaust and turbo timer installed).

I was just wondering how do i know if the car has an immobiliser, and if it doesn't have one (i'll find out next time) what is the most affordable (BUT DECENT) immobiliser to get and where to get it from?? I live in NSW in the Hils area.

thanks!

(edit) and i just read somewhere on this forum that turbo timers are a defect. Is that still the case?? Because if it is, I don't mind taking it out and just sitting with the car for a minute after i drive it, or just drive normally for the last 1-5mins of my trip lol.

if it is ABSOLUTELY stock - it will not have one.

Is there anywhere I can take the car to, and they can tell me exactly what mods are on the car?

Im getting stateroads to check it out for a comprehensive inspection, would they be able to tell me what's been done to the car at all?

ok thanks guys.

Also, my initial question was about the immobiliser lols. any ideas on that?

Why is it so hard to figure this one out? lock it while you're sitting inside it and try to start the engine? if it wont start then its got an immobiliser?

lol thanks, I'm very very very noob around cars, just learning :) but thanks.

also (probably another dumb question) my mate has an r34 and his headlights have "xenon" written on em, but his headlights are yellow when turned on. Aren't xenon's supposed to be like white/blue-ish in colour?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
