I am a first time poster but a long time reader of Skylines australia (Love you work). Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I am looking to import or buy locally (most likely import with iron chef) in about 6 months (enough time to save and do more reading and gain knowledge). I am looking at a 4 door skyline, either a Gt-Four or a Gt-t. It will be my daily driver and i am looking to keep it mainly stock except a few mods to the handling (ie no engine mods). I live in the Adelaide Hills so I'm always driving windy roads.

The attesa system on the Gt-four really appeals to me as i live in the hills and always driving the twisty roads :D but after being in my cousins Mitsubishi evo 6.5 I couldn't wipe the smile off my face once the turbo kicked in. So does the attesa system make that much of a difference or does the gt-t have the same kind of handling capability.

Is the Na Neo really that boring to drive in comparison to the Turbo.. Has anyone had experience in either or both?

What would you go with?

Thanks for your time.

Another option I was thinking was possibly a Infiniti G35 2003 or 2005 sedans. and styling it something like

let me know what you guys think.

R34 gtt ftw front engine rwd set-ups are fun....and you want a turbo car at the end of the day. the attessa system will just add weight to an already heavy car.

yes the NA's are that ordinary to drive. either go the turbo or none at all if you wan't something that puts a smile on your face. the attessa system won't really provide any gains over a standard GT in NA form as putting the power down won't be an issue

iirc the GT4 has same specs as GTV which has 5 stud and bigger brakes than a N/A GT model.

buy the four door GT4 and + T or 25/30 as they are sort after vehicles, im with 045HOW on this one.

That's incorrect. All R34 are 5 stud.

GTv has brakes from the GTt.

All ather n/a have the same brakes regardless if it is AWD or RWD.

na + t would be nice for a GT4 for something different, but cost is probably not worth it. GT4 models only come in auto and do not even have tiptronic. The GT4 was designed to be driven in snow, not really with perfomance in mind.

GTt is your best bet - roughly the same price and you have transmission of your choice.

I didn't realise the GT4 only came in auto... that rules that out then. Is there other models of the Gt-t? Such as factory xenons and aero body or is that still classed as a Gt-t but with factory extras?

Depends if it has an "X" behind the designation.

Eg.

GT-x

GTt-x

The "x" represents a premium model. Such as rear privacy glass, xenon headlights, premium stereo. For the GT-x you get front strut brace and LSD option as an available extra.

Ok nice. I shall be saving so i can get the GTt-x. What price bracket should i be looking at... i was thinking it would be about the $10,000 to $15,000 to get one in good condition then about $3000 for compliance and rwc.

Now to the fun stuff. Mods :) (after i have had the car compiled and all).

I want to keep the car looking as stock as possible as i don't want to get much attention from Adelaide's finest.... so what mods would pass through regency un-noticed (apologies if this is written somewhere else, still getting used to the forum search).

TBH - the price differences are gonna tiny (virtually non existent) - Reason being is most people don't even know there is an "x" model, unless you look at the original Japanese dealer's brochure. It's going to be down to the condition of the car. Many cars out there have had their Xenon headlights butchered at compliance, with normal halogens fitted. Just look arund i suppose. Try to buy from a known club member and you should have a reasonable ride. For sale section has plenty.

The cleanest and straightest examples are probably still in Japan - so if you are willing to pay more and wait, importing maybe the option.

As a GT-Four owner mine came factory manual. Has the small N/A brakes and is pretty slow. Mine over time grew the 3-4 gear crunch. Other then that didnt really have many problems. The RB26 bolts straight in. Front sway bar needs GTR items as well as caster rods. Comes with No rear sway bar but thats easy fix. Has all the usual GTR Attessa, G-sensor, slip light. Front Suspension is basically 33 GTR stuff where rear is S15/ R34 except comes with No Hicas.

agreed. i've seen a 4 door GT4 in perth before and it was a factory manual.

Must be very rare or only a few made :S

The original Nissan brochure shows it only as an auto with no option for manual or auto with tiptronic.

Mind blown....

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
