jake32: cheers for that! i've been wanting that exact info - much appreciated.

i had my first bid today at the auctions. Limit of 1.1million, and was killed. Sold for 1.54 - Admitedly (sp?) it was a very nice car. 1998, 31000km's. Nismo kit, exhaust, a few scratches, grade 4, interior grade B. I think i was pushing it for 1.1 million.

Can't say those list of prices over the past 3 months has got me very happy :D I had a limit of about 1.01million, but decided to up it to 1.1 - looks like i'll have to go up again. :D I've been giving some ambigious info me thinks :)

Was this all from one auction yard jake32? or was it all over?

cheers

list is compiled from sales data from all aution house`s across japan....prices do vary from area to area but not much..auction house grading systems also vary ..some are very strict & harsh on cars they grade other`s not so...so beware of that as well.. as far as your bidding price goes i think 1.2 fob should buy a nice manual 60-70k`s so 1.1 bid should get you something.....

at the same time if your going thru the hassle of bringing in you own car ..make sure its the 1 you want..it may be worth going the extra for the nismo kit etc...if you see the car with your name on it ...bid enough to buy it

:) you can bid to steal 1 but it become`s frustrating after awhile

your also getting towards r33 gtr money as well : 95 v spec grade 4 120000klm` sold for 1.3 last week :D

Your treading on thin ice there: I would own an S15 over an R34 any single day of the week. The r34 is a very tame and boring sedan compared to the sporty S15, (stock to stock) have you driven both? I have. This is personal preference of course, but you can't go and say they are 'far nicer cars' I prefer the interior, the seats, the suspension and the road feel on the S15 as well.

I would take a silvia over skyline gtst on all models.. r32 vs s13, r33 vs s14, r34 vs s15

I have thoroughly driven or owned every single car!  Have you?

ps. Start talking about GTRs and watch me jump the fence :(

pps. I currently own a very fast s13 and a pulsar gtir.

Agreed with some of what other people mentioned already.. comparing cars is pretty much up to personal preference. But..

Before I got a 34 GTT I have test driven 33 gtst (modified and stock), S15 J-Spec, S14 Stock Aust delievered, gtir stock (?) (just for the hell of it) . S13/silvia and silvia I didnt bother cause I wanted a newish car. :D

I must say 34GTT is still the car to get, depending on what you wanted a car for. The GTT has better interior (standard), turns more head and more room! than an S15 or S14 or even 33. :(

I would agree to say that 34 GTRs.. ooo... gimme one.. :(

SS8-Gohan - Regarding GTR kits for a GTT. Was just at powerplay yesterday to get my car serviced and was told that the East Bear GTS-R kit,which is a plastic (better than fiberglass) GTR copy is now available.

Unfortunately i already have a full CWest kit but if you interested the price for the GTS-R kit is about 3800 just for parts i think. This im pretty sure includes front rear bar and skirts. ALSO included is a carbon fibre style (dont actually think its real CF). U need to have the bonnet since the GTR kits extends out longer.

I saw it whilst i was there and it looks very good. The kit itself will fit all GT models including I think the 4 door (saw a picture of the kit on a 4 door car whilst i was there). Just wish i hadnt paid 6 grand for a full cwest kit, would of got this 1 instead. If u are interested call Joanne at powerplay.

Good for you.. I've been as passenger in most of these cars however.. that is enough to get a feel for how they drive, although not as true as driving one I will admit.

And well interior, exterior, room, turning heads on the street, and everything else I prefer the R34 GT-T, and so do many others. You don't have to have actually sat behind the steering wheel to know that.

Anythow, this a skyline forum, and a discussion about the R34 GT-T, not the silvia.

s15 interior is better than gtt! you've got to be joking. s15 looks like it's made out of empty ice cream containers on the inside. soooo plastic.

when I bought mine my choice boiled down to new 200sx v gtt. we now know how that ended.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
