yup, im pretty sure thats Andrew's stagea

well looked after but he bought a navara or something and no longer needs the stagea

are you in tas? even so its a good car and has a fair few bits and pieces on it for the money

i thought he got it tuned too but i could be thinking about another stagea

i had mine for sale for a bit but i've decided to keep it

one of the guys at autobarn has another white manual one

mine is manual

Ben who lives near the gorge has a white manual one

and so is Andrew's (the one for sale)

and there may be another getting about

I haven't seen the car in person since the last stagea meet which was a couple of years ago but i'm sure its still in top condition

well worth a look thats for sure

haha yeah well ive got a r32 gts4 heaps done i just hating having to drive it on the road every day when its track ready and its just burning a hole in my pocket and i would love a wagon like this one and just keep the skyline for a track car getting about for ages??

also ive heard storys that they use heaps of fule this true?

na, mines pretty good for what it is

auto sucks fuel a bit worse but best bet is to grab a new o2 sensor

i get around 10l/100km highway and 12+ city

roughly 500kms/tank and i'm usually a cheapskate and run it on 95 in tas due to the retarded price of bp ultimate lol

if your 32 is still running an rb20 it'll make you want to upgrade lol, the 25neo is such a good motor

also perfect car for a daily, i used to use mine as a delivery car when i worked at dominos haha

haha really thats not to bad lot better then the rb20 yeah i mean rb20 nice motor and all but just not for a daily and cant fit a pair of shoes in the back seats haha whats the diffrence between the rb25 and the neo??

the neo head is pretty close to the 26 head (solid lifters etc) but with no itb's but it has vct

some say it flows more than the 26 head

also cops 26 rods and maybe a few more goodies

are ok so are alot diffrent then well ill give him a ring next week coz im going to falls just hope it dont sell before that

and the awd in them can they be switched off like the 32 and 33 gtrs and gts4??

similar but different

there is a single wire plug under the dash which you unplug (or wire a switch to and put it on the dash)

start the car

pump the brake pedal around 5 times

AWD light starts flashing and its in rwd mode

yeah all the s2's have the neo (bar 260rs) and all manual's are s2's

only issue im having is the syncros in the gearbox are getting a bit worn and it crunches 4th if i go like 2nd to 4th

and my turbo has a bit of end float so it could do with a rebuild sometime soon

bought it at around 60k, now has about 130k

radiator top tank cracked too, new coolingpro rad was around $370 with postage and was fail

then replaced with a new stock rad for $220

and timing belt kit and waterpump at 100,000kms

thats about it as far as things going wrong goes

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
