Nearly anything is possible, if you have the money. However, the amount of money you'd need to do this, you won't earn in 2 years.

In short; Buy a GTR when off your provisional license.

No GTR Skyline ever came as a 2WD/RWD car. Part of why they're a lot more expensive then their GTS-T/GT-T counterparts.

thanks,

that's all I needed to know, it just occurred to me that it might be cheaper but clearly not.

thanks for taking the time to reply mate as clearly never been into it all too much although have worked in an industrial engineer shop since 15 so I'm not hopeless just with exact models and makes can be convertered on a specific skyline so I figured here would be a place to ask. forgive me for thinking that.

Just read, read, read. You'll learn all you need to know from this website. Chances are that if anyone has ever thought of a question, you'll be able to search and find the answer here.

Nothing against you personally, but a lot of people will see the question you asked as the cardinal sin of skyline ownership. Bright side is that your knowledge base will only improve from here.

Incorrect, see C10 and C110 Skyilne GT-Rs from the 1969 - 1973 :P

OP, as suggested, read read read, and read some more. The more information you have the more informed choices you will make.

Lucky for you that your first car is an R34. It will teach you car control and how vehicle reacts to driver inputs and conditions (skid pan and track days). Don't worry about the non-turbo aspect, you have plenty of power for a p-plater.

I still have my first car, my R31 Skyline, which is supposed to be my daily. Your N/A R34 will be a good daily, the NEO6 is pretty economical. You can buy a GT-R later and have your R34 as a run around :).

Not worth it. If you want more power and keep the shell and just drop a 25NEODET into it. Apart from that it isn't worth the cash to through a GTR widebody and other mods. If you want a twin turbo but can't afford a 34 GTR when off P's just get a 33 or even a 32.

    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no? 
    • What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.
    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
