Hope this is the right area.

Was on gumtree this morning looking for skylines as usual, and there must've been a shipment of imports because there was a few skylines and evos uploaded from wangara (car shop suburb for all you non WA people)

I did find a two stock R34s which I was so happy to see. however the manual was 18k and the Auto was 11k :(

This seems way to expensive, are they overcharging? Because if I could get that auto cheap I'd just do an Auto to manual conversion with an r33 gearbox and follow an old thread I found on here :)

So what is the currrent value for auto and manual R34s (stock) that you guys think?

Between $65000 (LOL) and $7200 ATM

And dont even think about converting a auto to manual, the outlay in parts and labour whould negate any savings made in buying a POS Auto

labour isnt really a problem, dad rebuilt a few cars, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, and cousin owns a repair shop with a hoist. And I'm not looking to increase the value. I just hate auto's with a passion :)

ok a few things, there will be a big difference in the value of cars that are the same. you may get 2 r34's, both manual, etc that are vastly different in price. a lot of this will come down to general condition of the car. some will also come down to one owner being more eager to sell his car than the other.

as for the auto vs manual price difference, there will always be a difference in price. the 18k manual one is at the upper end of the price range. you will certainly find cheaper ones around. unless you could get the auto for a lot less than 11k i wouldn't bother doing a conversion. for starters, parts will cost you a few thousand dollars to do it properly. will still cost you a few grand to do a half arse job. then there is all the dicking around with getting the wiring sorted so that the ecu uses the right maps (most people don't do this).

i would also say the same thing about importing a car vs buying locally. don't bother importing. buy locally. that way you can personally go and inspect the car, take it for a drive and see what it's like. you can inspect the body, listen to the engine and get a general feel for what sort of condition it's in rather than just taking someone elses word for it.

you may also want to do plenty of research of running costs and maintainence costs of a turbo car before you get too far in the process. things like how expensive insurance will be (a lot for a young driver), running it on premium unleaded, regular oil changes, etc. plus the cost of fixing common problems such as failing coil packs. they aren't for everyone.

yeh I am, I dont get why there's such a huge price jump from R33s to R34s... There was a gtst R33 for $3500 on carsales in FEB that I saw.

Basic Rule:- Production Numbers of the R34 were much less than the R33 > Join the dots.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
